Hey guys,

I was hoping there was a carpenter, or cabinet maker on the forums. I know there was one, can't recall his user name at the moment.

What I'm hoping is that someone with access to a nice table saw (or a CNC machine thing for wood) can cut the six sides of my speaker box, and the cradle I'm going to use to secure is to the trunk. Then I'll put everything together.

Willing to pay, of course.

really? that's cool my company has used them for roof top units in the past.

might have to get them to cnc's me a water block for the pc.

 

Dave is totally the man to go see....doesn't BS around and actually listens to you and does what you ask, not the other way around!

 

I have used two guys that both are cabinet makes (both with CNC's see my thread)
I dont think either is on here any longer though.

 

So I sent an email to a very local cabinet making shop. For 3/4" MDF, pieces cut for a 18x15x12 box, they've quoted $50. The only thing is that one side of the wood has white melamine... I don't have a lot of experience with this stuff, but the panels I usually see with a melamine surface is usually A LOT more porous than the MDF we'd use to make a subwoofer enclosure. Is there a chance that this material will be as dense as "regular" MDF?

By my calculations, I'm using 8.35sqft of material.

Any thoughts? $50 seems pretty steep for only the material and the cuts. Having the edges cut with this rabbet joint will cost $30 more.

 

buddy CNC programming is not cheap..be happy u got quoted only 50

 

I'm not even certain they'd use CNC to do the work...

Why would CNC cost more? Punch the numbers into a computer and let it do the work.
It's much faster. Sure the equipment cost the shop a lot, but the work they provide from it shouldn't.

Its a moot point now. I talked to one of our maintenance guys and work, he said he'd help me out for a case of beer.
