Hello all, it's been a long time since I've been in here. I've been quite sick from what I hear. It is good to be back.

we are doomed as a species! If you need proof, just look around. If there is an intersection, That 99% of us can navigate, but 1 weak link has to pull out in front of a tractor trailer (natural selection at work), then we must put a traffic light up to protect the morons,that are lacking in the skill set, to look both ways and proceed when it's safe. Everywhere you look, you can see the barriers against natural selection going up, and without natural selection,we are doomed. Im not saying to remove all traffic lights, just stating an observation.

natural selection is necessary for the overall well being of the herd. There are probably other geniuses around these people thinking "That could have been me" I just feel bad for their friends and families, What a waste.

I voted and I picked the correct answer. If you didn't vote like me, you're wrong. You just need to admit it, and go change your vote to the correct vote.

Kanye why is he even somewhat popular ? 0 talent ?

I checked him out on line. If This post never happened, I never would have done it. I have seen him before and always had Zero interest in his arrogance. As far as talent,I don't know, cant get past his personality.

I listen to lindsey quite a bit, and yes she rocks.

Freddy probably would still be rocking on a regular basis, but I think he would be seriously into singing opera.

Don't beat yourself up, Ringo is pretty forgettable.

Not according to Rolling Stone where their readers "ranked" him #5 on the "Best Drummers of All Time" list.

I had to leave my last concert several years ago. Too much pot smoke, I work on aircraft and get randomly tested, not going to risk my licenses for that.

Been there many times, always had a great time happy Canada day!

Very nice score

Wish you were beer

The board I started with was $600. I used just under half for both speaker boxes.

I started on dovetails this morning. Decided on half blind dovetails, so the top would have a clean appearance. Next will be the groove for the front board.

I knew alcohol was involved once I saw the dart board!

Coming along nicely.

. I gave up alcohol once, I'm a mean abstemious.

Well day 2 all panels are cut to size. Markings are to keep the panels straight, I want the grain to wrap around the speaker box like the board was bent around it. I really like the look of dovetails, maybe tomorrow night I can get started on the joints. These pictures give an idea what they are going to look like. In the layout for cutting I noticed a few minor blemishes, and was able to work them around so the defects will be in the bottoms (3 very small worm holes). I got very lucky there. The backs and front panels will be 3/4 in birch ply, front panels painted black, I'm thinking about staining back panels, don't know yet.
