I am new to fiberglassing and wanted to try it out so maybe down the line i could make a enclosure. If anyone has any links they could provide me with that has a step by step process of making one that would help. Also for materials/tools you would need...

Resin...Fiberglass Mat...Filler...Speaker Fabric/T-shirt...MDF...Brushes...Gloves...Paint...Sander...Jigsaw...Router... anything else?

Any hints or ideas would be appreciated.

Peace

ha good tip archemedes,

check this site out for basics https://web.njit.edu/~cas1383/proj/main/

also, you'll want a mask and eye protection for sanding, and a dremel comes in handy if you can get your hands on one.

since it seems like you'd be interested in painting your enclosure, check out this place https://www.garbled.net/tim/fiberglass.html . I don't know why this web page is so retardedly formatted, but it seems to have some useful info.
