Making the Baffles for my New Speakers
Starting work on making my new speakers, I'm using solid ash hardwood to make the baffles. This is rough-sawn lumber, so the first step is to flatten one face enough to run through my surface planer. Normally I use a jointer to do that, but mines buried behind a bunch of stuff i don't want to move. Instead I'm doing it "close enough" with a handheld electric plane.
After the board it planed flat I can cut off the edges to square it up. Then cut it in half to make both baffles.
These will be joined to the base with a large notch in the bottom edge, and I used a plywood template to route that out precisely.
The next step will be to cut the driver recesses and holes and start working on the base.
This is part 3 in my series on designing making a pair of open baffle 2-way speakers to use as "surround" speakers in my listening room.
I've created a playlist with all of the videos: • Making Open Baffle 2-Way Speakers
