Dimensions for Two 12 Adire Audio Shivas

Ok just for confirmation, these are the cuts i need to make, correct? 2 - 14 x 27 (front and back panels) 2 - 12 x 27 (top and bottom panels) 2 - 12 x 14 (sides) 1 - 10.5 x 12.5 (mid divide) And ya... 1.25? wouldnt it be 1.5 off on the middle brace? that is what i meant by taking off .75 off of each side of the middle board... riiight? and what does "dont go into the shop do and do these cuts" mean? ... confused... and please, correct me if i am wrong, in a ncie manner... thnx.

yes... go build your box. Draw the lines on your material... measure twice, cut once. Your numbers ARE CORRECT... Use them. DO NOT WRITE OR READ ANY MORE POSTS... JUST GO BUILD YOUR BOX! Do not thank me or anybody else, do not question, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars - unless it is to go build your box. GET!It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Ok i went to home depot... a 4 x 8 piece of mdf .75 costs 20 bucks... i then realized it wasnt gunna fit in my car... (i had 25 bucks on me) ... and ya, first 2 cuts are free... the rest from there on are 50 cents... a cut is, a whole board... by the way... but ya, i got the guy to cut it all... and it ended up costing 24.75... i got him to take it down to only 4 cuts. then... when i bought it i was like arent the first 2 free? ... and she was like o0o ok... so ya, got it barely... lol... but ya... brought it all home... (i still have like a fat piece left over...) but ya, tried to assemble it free hand... and realized i needed 1.75 off of one board... (because the guy cut it to 12.25 instead of 12.) but ya, so i needed to drop the top and bottom board, 1.50 inches... so they would fit inside of the top and bottom of the front and back panels... but ya, just finished trimming... and it fits snug as hell... but ya, what should i do to cut the 2 11" holes? ... and inform me if i am wrong, the holes are supposed to be 11 inches, right? and ya, i figure... find the exact middle of each half of the front panel... and stick a thumb tack a lil ways in, and get a 5.5 inch string, and attach it to the thumb tack, along with a pen on the end of the string... run it around in a circle, and thats where i need to cut, i think? ... and... what would i be able to cut the circle out with? any suggestions on a tool...? i have a sawzaw (sp) would that be the best for it? i am not sure... and i have limited cutting tools... help?

just an idea klapping before you cut your circles, find the center of each half the the box, by first dividing the box with a ruler/pen into 2 squares, make and X in each box from corner to corner, as precise as possible, your tac idea should work, just make sure you measure that diameter later and triple check to make sure you arent off in any area of the circle. once thats ready, i think your ready to drill your first hole, a hole big enough for the jigsaw blade, and then make your cut, a suggestion would be cut 'inside' of the circle, and later sand off the needed excess wood. just try not to go outside of the lines. GL im glad you started it yourself. and are attempting it. you'll feel something warm inside when its all done and working right, some people call it pride, some people call it an addiction. either way you'll feel something good :-).

lol... but, would a SkillSaw work?

i'll take the joke ;p, and not answer your question. i guess you wont have a co-op, and i cant tell you if home depot will rent tools out to you. i'd start asking your dad if he can help with tools from some of his friends. an afternoon would all it take for a couple holes (at most).

o0o oops... didnt mean skillsaw... rofl... ha... but i meant a SawZall... lol... ha... a skillsaw... that wouldnt be too pretty...
