I wouldn't mind reading them either if they're out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 If you are not worried about endgrain just prep your cabinet ( repair what needs to be repaired with Bondo and block sand ). Start with a side and an end of your sheet to best match your grain pattern and work your way around, if there needs to be a patch panel with non matching grain save it for the bottom where its less likely to be noticed. Wood glue your panels and clamp to cabinet ( no brads or nails are needed ) then use your router with a flush trim router bit to trim off excess panel overhang. Use edgebanding for the front cabinet endgrain if you have grilles. If you are going for a look with no endgrain its best to use veneer, its possible to 45 degree the plywood corners and get them lined up but its easier and better to use veneer face.

Hi Jason - are all glues the same - I hear of all these special wood glues - is there any type in particular that would be better - tx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Some people prefer one brand over the other but its not something that needs high strength just attatching panels. I use Titebond normally but have used many other brands with good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to how I braced my two sets of H3 I have also got a link to a set of Quarter similar but a little different.

moray james Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I guess that a little planing is too much to ask of some folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Nico (from the Netherlands) added 9mm onto his University Classics. He doesn't go into a lot of detail, but he would probably answer questions about doing it. The second post mentions it, with some photos. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/146927-the-rebirth-of-the-university-classics/ Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
