2016 Porsche Macan S - stealth SQ build

I also finished my speaker rings today. I started with 3/4" oversized bearings to bring the rough flush cut closer to the wood:






Next, flush cut bit with stock 1/2 inch bearing:







Now add some soft edges with a chamfer bit:










Ready to install...

Unacceptable! Those are way too perfect. You need to make new ones that are just average.

I know. I know. I'm an engineer. I'm anal about stuff like this. Takes WAY too long. I would never make it as a carpenter .

For sure
Using that 45 for a chambered edge is perfect. Looks great.

I wanted to do a round-over on the edges but bought the wrong bit. Should have bought an 1/8th" round-over

Back in the skateboarding days, we'd spend hours trying one thing... Failing Failing Failing, until we got it.

But once in a blue moon, you'd screw up in a way where the board did something totally not what you were trying to do - but ended up upright, and you landed on it and rolled away, and your friends went "holy crap, that was awesome!" not even knowing that totally wasn't what you were going for.
We used to call that a happy accident.

So - this is an awesome happy accident. I think it looks better than the roundover!

So I made my main amp rack today:

Now comes the plastic part...








Imperfection shot for DavidRam The thin plastic panel was warped. Some tool grabbed it.












This turned out fine. However, I don't think the 1/4" thick material is going to work. In order to mount the amp and MOST25 adapter I need to counter-sink the amp board mounting screws. This will not work with 1/4" material. I need to go down at least 1/8" inch. This doesn't leave enough material to be mechanically strong. So, looks like tomorrow I copy this to a 1/2" sheet.

I'm starting to think my techniques are old school. I need to look into 3D printing like Phil.
