John Heisz - Speakers and Audio Projects | New Speakers Final Assembly and Fixing a Big Mistake @IBuildIt | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 hour ago
This time I finish putting together the stands and then mount the baffles on the stands. In doing so, I wasn't as careful as I should have been (maybe subconsciously intentional to give myself a good excuse to inlay the walnut) and to fix the problem I routed out the pocket deep enough to glue in a piece of walnut veneer.
The veneer corrects the glue squeeze out / poor fit and also gives the colour contrast I wanted when designing these.
Of course, inlaying the veneer like I did makes it possible to skip routing the pocket through the bottom of the baffle to begin with, and just attaching the baffle directly to the angled upright of the stand directly. I could have even used screws because the walnut veneer would hide them. In the end they would have looked the same but would have taken a lot less time to build. Let's say that's a lesson learned for next time, right?
This is part 6 in my series on designing making a pair of open baffle 2-way speakers to use as "surround" speakers in my listening room.
I've created a playlist with all of the videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQl9KPrpiIH-5l4QhxUYXHGhr-covK8n6
