i just had to postthis.
so after all the years i've been hanging out here i gained lots of knowledge from the helpful people like kaytrim and toodles and such. wood cutting, soldering, etc.
on that note, without all that help i never would've been able to make any of the arcade sticks i've made over the years or even attempt to make this. this is going to be a practice amp for my 4 string bass. i have a few amps but i wanted a new box for a few subs i had thrown around. i designed the box and had a friend do all the calculations for dimensions and airspace. he also did it up in sketchup and calculated how many kerf cuts i would need.
the bending technique is called a kerf cut - which is something i just discovered last week but has been in use forever. always learning![:)]( ":)")
had i used a 1/8th thick blade i would have only needed 9 cuts per section. instead i needed 29x3 = 87 cuts total since i used a craftsman mini circular which has a total thickness of about nothing.
comment away!

this driver can do a max of 400w but i'm not sure if i want to push it to the max. that, and well i don't have $800+ for a basshead that can do that much
