Well, after about 8.5 years, my first build is finally finished. It's been an interesting journey, and I've made a few mistakes along the way. I guess that's how we learn. Thankfully the mistakes I made were either correctable or not important. Most important thing, is that the end of it all, she sounds and feels exactly how I wanted it to. Guess I'd better start planning the next one (actually, I've started the planning, but time to make it more concrete)

Well it might have taken you 8 1/2 years but it was worth it.
It looks good, excellent job.
Cheers Bob

Yeah, when your son comes and complains because he's feeling a bit sick because the bass is resonating through the whole house even on low volume you know you've done something right. :D

great looking work Peter! Of course the best thing is it's sounding as good as you hoped. Well done
8 1/2 years - yikes! & I thought 6 or 7 months for my first build (almost done) was a long time.
