Title: Made a speaker shelf

This is exactly what I intended originally. Once I started though I had grand ideas and decided to go for 2 shelves of 24 inches long and then 20 inches high. Well after many many errors I ended back at my original idea. Actually many mistakes on this hence the dark stain. It's also now only 20 inches long. :rofl :rofl :rofl still though it won't stand out like a sore thumb in the computer room.

Finally made it into the house. Took a while for the stain and clear coat to dry because of the humidity.

Those are speakers! :mad: :lol Those came with my 10 year old dell. I gave the dell to my son and kept the speakers because they sound great. They're Harmon/Kardon.

:lol :lol My wood working skills are marginal at best. If I made a desk the computer would slide off or the desk would collapse. However, you do have me thinking.

That being said..... now you have done something that many never attempt.

"No job is worth doing...unless it requires a new power tool. Ar arr arr!"

Still, I'm with Shuffler. "A" for effort, dude :aok.

:rofl :rofl :rofl Funny you said that. I would love a new powered Miter Saw.

My new rule is "Measure twice, cut straight"!

Post by: Skuzzy on June 17, 2009, 01:18:53 PM: I used to build speakers all the time. A couple of years ago I got rid of all my templates, hardware, and materials and retired from it.
