Thease speakers are currently for sale here: http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,4683.0.html
This thread is in response to forum members asking to see the building process.
I don't have many photos, but I am posting the ones I have. Will also give a brief description for each.
Basically, the speakers were built using 18mm Birch ply, covered with solid American Walnut. The midrange is enclosed in a seperate sealed enclosure, while the .5 driver has it's own bass reflex enclosure. The cabinet sides are curved. This was done using a process called "coopering", which is similar to the way the old people made wooden barrels.
Pics as follows:
1. Here are all the strips of wood. The plywood is at the back (each has a strip of Maranti glued to one end). In the front are the pieces of Walnut I resawed on my bandsaw.
2. Close-up of the plywood with Meranti.
3. The plywood staves being glued to the Walnut strips.
4. Gluing up one side panel.
