[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 299324, member: 3"] Thanks for all your kind words & comments! I start off with designing the general shape and internal structures I need in the cabinet. This is determined by the internal volume requirements, as well as specific shapes for the application in mind. After that, I start building it to the design dimensions. The detail work, such as routing the grooves, etc are done "off the cuff" so to speak. While I am building, I constantly think about how the speaker will look, and what I can do to enhance its appearance. Looks wise, its all about the subtle detail. For instance - the grooves on the side of the speaker are routed to start from the top of the enclosure, not the bottom. This gives more visual weight to the bottom, making it seem more grounded. Also, the spacing between each line is calculated according to a well known formula for making drawer fronts in high quality hand made furniture, and is far more pleasing to the eye than it would have been if using equal spacing, etc, etc, etc Cheers!
