Hi Craig,The only cuts I made were the holes for the drivers. I used a handheld jigsaw for that. All the panels were cut for me to spec from a single sheet of 8x4 MFD from The Building Box (a variation of Home Depot here in Toronto). All I had to do was give there cutting centre a cutting diagram.
I terms of assembly, I used a power drill and a jig to drill the holes for the dowels. The jig was $35(Cdn) and is an attachment to the drill to allow you to drill at preset angles (in this case, 90 degrees).
Obviously, I couldn't clamp the inside bracing while the glue dried. For those, I screwed the in from the inside. I may or may not back the screws out later.
