| I used Venetion Teak thermo-veneer from Consolidated Edgings. There was about 4mm of veneer shrinkage after ironing ! Note the slight scorch mark on the bottom of the left baffle - no problem, that came off with a good sanding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

30th 2004. This is my first attempt
at router rebates - not as hard as I thought. The Jasper Jig makes circular holes and rebates a breeze. Wish I had a dust-extractor, though ...cough ...cough :O |

Here are my power tools. You don't

1st 2004 Improvising .... Due to the monster magnet on the CQuenze 15H5206, I decided to give it more rear breathing space by scalloping the inside edge of it's cutout and taking out a little of the cabinet bottom. |

June 20th 2004 Constrained layer, and bracing. All seams are braced, one-piece cross-brace fitted and a constrained layer made of 6mm MDF/2.3mm barium-loaded-PVC applied to the sides using Kwik Grip. In the 4th pic, the rear rebate is fitted. Thanks to Art Ludwig for the research on constrained layers. |
