Default Against the Grain[UPDATE] PG.10


*FINISHED PICS

There has been a few homemade tech stations being made recently, and i just had to try my luck with building one. this is also my fist true, start to finish, work log, so bear with me.

*My inspiration comes from wuttz's woodtek. It is what pushed me over the edge, and got me starting to want to actually do one.

Computer Components:
  • CPU: PhenomII X4 940BE
  • MOBO: DFI 790FXB-M2RSH
  • RAM: G-Skill SuperPi 2x2Gb 1066Mhz
  • GFX: ATI 4870x2
  • HDD: Seagate 7200.11 (333AS)
  • PSU: Ultra XPro 750Watt

Water Cooling Components:
  • PUMP: Swiftech MCP-655
  • RAD: 2x Swiftech MCR-220's Stacked
  • CPU BLOCK: Swiftech Apogee GTZ w/AM2 Mounting
  • GPU BLOCK: XSPC 4870X2 Full Coverage
  • NB BLOCK: Swiftech MCW-30

I love the look of the MDF, its super clean. buuuuut, i dont want to copy, so i chose 1/2'' birch, which will then be stained with red oak 15. any way on the the preliminary build pics...

..and a pic of my birch sub box in my trunk for fun

thx for the reply... i actually plain on finding a nice gel grey-ish stain for the sub box, that somewhat matches my grey leather interior, but yeah, i have been just taking my time on building this as i want it to be perfect. hopefully tomorrow ill get to the point at least, where i can make some cuts. im REALLY excited to see this stained, i cant wait.

my only worry is that, from my experience, birch likes to splinter if its cut too fast, so i have to be sure to take it super slow, and use a clean new blade on my jig.

the cuts in your subwoofer box seems nice and clean, so it looks like you already know how to do it well. yeah, take your time. always worth it when you sit back, relax and admire the work of art you have created.

yeah the cuts were pretty much perfect on it, but the one thing i didnt take the time to do on the sub box, was to pre-drill the screw holes, and if you look closely, you can see where the wood somewhat buldges out(i know, stupid mistake...) but i wont let that happen in this case. depending on how this turns out, im going to build a matching stand, and a desk for myself.

Memphis, nice. What model are those subs? And what's the ft^3 of the box and the tuning? (car audio nut here) Looks like a nice beefy port
