My dad used to be a carpenter so i already have alot of wood working tools and im going to set up a workshop in my garage so i can build custom speaker boxes for fun. Im really viewing it as a hobby though rather than a business so im not looking to spend thousands. So heres what i think i need... What misc. items am i missing or is there something better for one of the items i listed? .table saw .circular saw .speed square .box building program,suggestions please? .MDF for the boxes and cheap construction grade plywood for practicing on .Router .orbital/belt sander And heres what im unsure of 1.what type of glue is best to use to seal all edges? 2.Whats the best way to mark the lines and cut them since speaker boxes need to be EXTREMELY accurate for everything to fit and sound proper. Im always accurate within 1/16'' but would you suggest i use a laser to travel along the wood and cut along that,snap a line or just mark it old fashion? 3.For cutting holes do you suggest a router with an attachment to cut perfect circles or a jigsaw?
