C'mon! Somebody has to be building something? Or is it all on the Group Build Forum? Craftsman isn't just for wood, is it?

I'm nearing completion on the Hagerman Cornet and REALLY enjoying my Porter-Cable dovetail jig

In the background you can barely see one of a pair of Theatre-sized boxes for Speakermans Altec co-ax holding up the chop saw(that's why I've been incommunicado all weekend, Ron) and,

I've begun the assembly of a Marchand 3-way tube crossover which I'm going to review for Dagogo.
Whew!

Can I plug my new not-for-profit(darn-it) gig?

Dovetail jig?!? Shame on you. Of all people, I'd thought you'd handcut.

I'm at the starting stage of building one of these right now, but don't know how far I'll get before the first snow fall. Still haven't found a bandsaw I can use.

You're just kicking ass on building things. As hard as I may work(not often)I still find playtime.

Your projects are all looking great!

You really should do custom work, people would definitely get in line. I was certainly always interested.

So what's the new gig?

But for general discussion, i think there is something of
note going on in Single Driver Forum discussion that's
worthwhile mentioning.

Not before a few days (weeks now I guess) has the use of
a CNC router been widely discussed as a tool for
machining speaker enclosures.

The 'group build' over there involves one designer and
another fellow who intend to execute the design with his
CNC aparatus.

This brainstorming session has gotten pretty longwinded,
but has shown some real promise. The design concept is for a
backhorn. The CNC setup can make the turns needed to smoothe
out the horn path.

Congrats on the Dagogo gig. Looks like that's going to be fun. Are you allowed to post picts of the xover before the review is published?.......Colin

Jigs are the way to go if you're pounding out several boxes. For one-off's I prefer hand-cut. Love the looks of skinny pins that you can't get with jigs.
