Wow looking good, less then two weeks, do you feel the pressure? I have to finish my boxes this week also, I just hope it gets as warm as the weatherman suggest here in Iowa.

I do feel the pressure and I think the sides are going to take some time to assemble. Some of the stuff that's left is the kind of stuff that makes me real nervous that I'm going to mess up something major. I did let one of the side panels float up off the bearing on the router table while flush trimming the veneer and put a gouge in it. Fortunately the panels are slightly oversize so I could trim off the end again. I'll just have to be very careful gluing that side on the box since there's not much room for error anymore.

Wow that veneer looks great, so the skinny side is going to be the front? The small ones are tops and the big ones are "bass bins"?

Correct. The two bass cabinets are in middle and are laying down. The mids and tweeter go in the small boxes and the one on the right is standing up.

Doing speaker work in the house?? Nice!!

I cut the veneer and put two coats of glue on in a finished basement area. The woodworking takes place in the garage or in a plastic tented area in the back room. You can see the plastic in this picture of the finish going on the side panels.
