Went to the lumber yard today to get the MDF for my Stentorians. In order to build them I need about 1 1/2 sheets, and I got 3/4" for everything.
While I'm helping the attendant load it into the truck, I come to realization that MDF is some heavy stuff! Then I have that epiphanal moment when I realize that there is NO earthly way that I'm going to be able to cut this sheet with table saw without an outfeed mechanism, that I currently don't have.
An outfeed table or roller(s) is something that I've always wanted to build. Well, now I think that I might have to build that before I can even start cutting. That's a good thing, I'll have some outfeed rollers, but now I can't start.
I've also been looking around at how to cut the circles. I might have to get a Jasper jig as well. Juries still out on that one, though, I think that I could make my own out of some plastic stuff that I have at work, and I might still do that. I haven't decided.
I don't think that I have a good 1/4" bit either. Problem need one of those. I probably have one that's single fluted, but double would definitely be better.
Speakers are going to be so dang heavy that I had design some new speaker mounts for hanging them on the wall in the shop. I have them designed, but I don't have them cut yet.
Is it just me, or do others have this? I can't complete anything, it seems like without completing something else first, buying a tool or something. It's just always something, it seems like...
One the plus side though, I had to have my wife help me move the MDF out of the truck. So, I had to let the cat out of the bag about what it was for. Up until now, I had not told her about the speaker build. Well, I'm still sleeping with her, so I guess that's a good thing. She didn't ask how much it was going to cost, and I didn't provide that information either. At this point, forgiveness is much easier to obtain than permission.
C'est la vie...
