Half Size – Oct 2013


While waiting for the parts to arrive for my 1/4 sized cab, I started my 1/2 sized version. I decided to pop home via a DIY store and pickup some 12mm hardwood ply. I drew out the plans onto the 12mm (using a separate section for the back panel, baffle, batons to the rest). This way I could set the widths on the bandsaw fence once per section. Batons were cut from the ply, however it isn’t the straightest ply and thus the buttons are slightly bent at times.

I glued on the horizontal batons to the top and bottom pieces. Working with 12mm ply is very different to the 3mm and gives a better feel for the end task. I decided to go with the Speakon connectors and the Jensen 6″ speaker. I had to pause on this as well, as I don’t own any clamps longer than 200mm! I’ve ordered some clamps big enough for the final project and these should hopefully be here for this weekend.
