Box jointed pine, with a slight upwards tilt on the front of the cabinet (to get the speaker to play in a direction that isn’t just parallel to the ground

Baffle built for a 15” speaker.

Post Photo

Round over on the edges, sanded, and the interior painted black.

Post Photo

Stretching grille cloth evenly across the baffle was hard, so I made a jig to grip both opposing sides and pull them inwards, letting me confirm everything is evenly spaced and straight before stapling the hell out of it.

Starting the tolex. Least favorite part. Contact cement smells like death, and demands respect, haha

Mitered corners. Still need some practice here

Post Photo

All done! Just needs a handle on top (haven’t ordered yet) and some screws for the back (in the mail).

What is everyone else up to?

Post Photo

This is awesome. Well done!

Made a matching head cabinet

Ready for tolex.

Hardest thing I’ve done in woodworking: getting a clean set of angles on these two corners

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:

Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.

Let's talk dust collection. So I was under the impression that dust collection would clean up a lot of the sawdust. Right now, I'm using a shop vac. Currently, anything that doesn't get directed out the dust collection port piles up. Is that normal? Should I get a second shop vac?

For example, was belt sanding 100 stamp blocks. Stopped every 20 or so to clean up dust pulling up at edge of sander.

What's a good starter electric saw for cutting lumber at home? Would prefer it be portable since I don't have a fixed workspace yet.

Wanted to share some advice for anyone looking at track saws. I just bought the bare WEN 6.5” unit ($145.29) and paired it with the Powertec guide rail set ($119.89) and came away with a solid setup at a (comparatively) cheap price ($265).

I was considering the Makita ($585) or Dewalt ($790) setups since those are my normal go-to brands, but couldn’t stomach the cost.

Highly recommend it!

Any tips on setting up a garage shop? My roommate is moving out, so I'll have half a garage to set up. Thinking about installing a dust curtain. What would you recommend for a starter shop re: outlets, dust collection, etc.?
