My Boom Box Project

[Celery]

Almost done. I was supposed to get the antenna cable yesterday but the delivery asshole lied that he delivered it. He has a GPS that I've been following on Amazon and he was just blocks away from me. He never showed as I checked my cameras.

Instead he went somewhere and stayed for over two hours. I assumed he went home. Then he went out of town, I don't know if he delivers out of town but afterward he went to the north side. The was around 5-6 pm. At 8:46 it showed delivered and left in secure place.

Yeah right lying fuck. I called Amazon this morning and told them about this guy and the GPS. It's been on all this time and I followed it. I told them I need the cable that I was supposed to get yesterday. It's being delivered today.

I pulled the bottom plate to install the PSU and I had it turned around so the PSU is pretty darn close to the speakers. Works fine though.

After a couple more mistakes I'm finally done!

This radio pulls in stations that's out of town so it's weak and mostly static.

Looking and sounding good! The red color is stating to grow on me.

 

[Celery]

Thanks strollin. Yeah, I like black on red.

Like my guitar (forgot I changed pups):

Starting another project. It'll be the same box but with Mahogany.

Ordered a 24" x 48" sheet from Home Depot.

I've decided that the speakers I have are not going to look good in Mahogany so I'm going to order another set but they'll be marine speakers with really cool grills.

I though WTH, I'll just get another stereo unit and reuse the PSU. I'll put the old one in my car. That way I can play my fav songs on USB stick instead of CDs.

And my Mahogany panel came in!

 

[Celery]

And here's the plan.

 

[strollin]

On your plan, why not slide the 2 11x8 pieces to the right so that they share an edge with the 2 11x16 pieces? That will save you a couple of cuts plus leave a larger leftover piece that could possibly be used for another project.

 

[Celery]

The way I had them arranged like that was that they can be precise cut. Also they follow the grains and each piece will have a straight edge or two.
