Tom, As Wayne says, basically all you have to do is build a box. As a fairly new woodworker myself, I know that's easier said than done, but if you take your time, measure twice, cut once, etc., you should be fine. Smaller boxes are easier to build than large ones. One alternative would be to build a pair of regular (non-tower) 2 Pi boxes to start, then build the towers while you're listening to your speakers! This would also give you a chance to practice with various tools and refine your techniques such as finishing so when you build the towers they're really beautiful. Good luck!

Tom, I built the 2PI Towers as my first speaker project and had very little problems with it. The only trouble I had during the build was moving it on and off the workbench. I used 1" MDF and over-braced, so it became pretty heavy. I did have all the panels cut to spec at the big-box store, so that helped a lot. When I got home, it was just a matter of piecing them together. Most big-box stores that I know of will cut for you if you give them a cutting diagram. Gar.

...is when I get the best service. Definately not Sunday afternoon when the cutter is rushing through each of the jobs. I've found my cuts for the Towers I built to be very accurate. Less than 1/16 inch. BTW, a 4x8 sheet is not 48"x96". It's something like 49"x97", so keep that in mind when drawing your cutting diagram.
