Belt Sander


I used this machine to even out the uneven surfaces of my front and back plates for both my speakers.

Tools I Used


This is a photo of the tools I have been using so far to build my speakers.

I used the clamp to hold my front and back plates together to perform various tasks such as using the jigsaw to cut off excess wood and using the belt sander to even out uneven surfaces.
I used the drill to screw in drills so my plates would stay together.
I used various measuring tools such as the ruler to make sure I had the right measurements on my speakers.

Both My Speakers After I Applied Bog to the Gaps (photo 2)

(See description of photo #1).

Both My Speakers After I Applied Bog to the Gaps (photo 1)


This photo was taken shortly after the last one. I applied bog to the spaces where I drilled in the screws. This will most likely require a small amount of sanding to even out the surface.

Both My Speakers After the Braces Were Applied


This photo was taken after I had applied braces into my speakers to stabilize them. I drilled 1 screw at both ends of the braces to make them stay in place.

This is after I bogged the space above the screws and then wiped back the excess bog.
