actually the hardest part were cutting out those rings... i didnt get thick enough particle board, so i had to cut out 4 of and double em up. and i had to use a compass to get the circle and freehand the cut with a jig saw.. oh yea it was fun haha... this whole thing was a "just try it and see if it works" sorta deal seeing as how i've never done this before... but it came together really well

 

next time, use a router with a jig

 

^^^ DAMN took the words out of my mouth.

I LOVE those cutters. Those little cylindrical blades are AWESOME.

 

i was going too... but i dont remember why we couldn't... maybe we didnt have the right bit at the time? who knows haha

 

Do you have a router?

 

they are sweetness.

 

The are shap as *****... i sliced myself open on one...

 

oh smooth move ex-lax... yea we have a router... but like i said, i dont remember exactly why we didnt use it... i made the rings and the pillars a long time ago, just made the frame tonight, same with the felt

 

Jimminy! don't do that!

 

oh now i remember why we didnt use it! we have a router with a "guide" that you can just drill a hole, stick the pin and the end of the guide into, and just spin the router around in a circle around the hole for a perfect circle... but these rings are for 12" subs, and the guide wasn't long enough, it would have made the whole way to small... so me just made our own little compass and traced a circle... oh well, still worked find, just a bit more of a pain
