Pad Thai Hifi Build Pictures

Thanks everyone, we have enjoyed building them alot. Still cant wait to hear them. Managed to get 3 of the tops finished, so we are getting closer and closer.

Got the wood cut here, http://www.theworkhaus.co.uk/ , but luckily my Mum works there so we paid bugger all. Still ended up using 18 sheets in total so even in material ended up being a decent amount. Might be worth asking them, especially as you are in Leeds and so are they.

Something that we would do different if we were going to get stuff CNC rebated again would be to have one side with a 18mm slot then have the other side with maybe a 19mm slot to allow for easier location. I dont know if it was our inexperienced woodworking skills or what but we had a bit of trouble on some of them getting the second half to line up. Anyone done this before?

First time have worked with Birch ply and it is nice. It seems considerably lighter than MDF which can only be a bonus.

JDCutta was right, they are Pflys hybrid horns, posted the build of them a while ago on here. Depending on if they can keep up or not will be the deciding factor if we keep them or not. What ever happens we will have them for a while tho until we have saved abit more money.
 

This is my bit.

Regarding slots in the sides, First of all you should go for 19mm grooves as birch ply can be under or over 18mm. The only way to ensure accuracy is to use 12mm slots and rebate your panels to suit. This will give you an accurate shoulder size, and a larger gluing area. The only problem with slots the size of the panel, is that if the slot goes slightly deep, it will pull the sides of the cab in when secured. It is not unusual to have a problem locating the other side, it happens all the time on a multi panel cab. Sometimes it goes in with any trouble and other times you have to threaten it with a big hammer.
