Thanks, Thomas, but my taper jig is a much more attractive shade of blue; I'm sure that will improve the quality of the cuts obtained, regardless of the price of the respective saws! :rofl:
Actually, this project will probably require a combination of techniques- Tom's taper jig fixture plus some things I did with the M8ta.
Keep in mind a lot of documentation and the web site will probably be up in about three weeks- including a lot of piece part documentation, and intermediate step documentation.
The basic construction for the front panels in the first version (premium gas) requires four layers of 3/4" MDF; a 1" X 12" X 4' LBL panel (laminated Bamboo lumber) and a 1/4" MDF panel cut to the same size. Two sections are built up 1-/2" thick by gluing together 3/4" MDF a foot wide to start. These are the "middle" and "back" panels of the front panel. The "front" part of the front panel is layered up from the LBL panel and the 1/4" MDF/HDF panel. There's work done on all three sections before bringing them together, including back chamfer on the rear of the "front" part of the front panel. Particularly for the front panel I'll be explaining/describing a detailed methodology for construction and fabrication. Naturally, you're free to innovate... just be thoughtful and careful. :W
BTW, enclosure side and back walls are 1" thick, and unless you have ready access to 1" MDF (I don't, except in full size sheets which are too big for me to handle in my work space by myself and with my previous back surgery), so these are layered up from MDF 2' X 4' thinner panels, like the front panel. Bottom and top are 1-1/4 thick.
All will be revealed soon.... :W
