My cab went 3D today!!

I started to work on the computer I have for the cab - I ordered a "new" HD...but it was apparently already formated to NTFS, so using Win98 is out! I also have a spare copy of Win XP...so it shouldn't be a problem...it just wasn't expected. I also noticed a slight problem with the speakers I dissected earlier...apparently in my enthusiasm to get them opened I broke a small piece of metal used as a jumper...a quick fix with the trusty soldering iron, and they are as good as used!



I've included a "behind the scenes" look at my new, not-yet-patented level/drill design. I'm really starting to love the hot glue gun I got...it has soooo many uses!



Here is a look at one of my boards awaiting dowel implantation. It's a very scientific process...fill hole with hot glue...insert dowel...wait for glue to dry. Don't try this at home kids!



This is when I started to get a little giddy! Finally!! 3D!! The placement of the dowels in the base board weren't perfect...put with a little persuasion from my rubber mallet...it fit fine.





Lastly, a couple of looks from the back and front after fitting the other boards with dowels.




This was the solution I came up with to angle cut my fan board...I had to clamp the fan board to another board (this board was placed along a pencil line to allow me to cut straight - like that could happen!). This board was then clamped to the saw horses for stablity. In the end, the cut turned out to be pretty close...can't complain!
