just a few more. Start the next project this afternoon!

Hello again everyone Gosh it’s been ages but finally finished them. Just wanted to post a few pre cleaning and final polishing pics and give a big shout out to all of you guys who so kindly took the time to advise me.

Hello all, and thanks for all the advice so far. After much deliberation I decided to go with the cheaper trimmer considering how often I will use it, mind you it’s done the job well so far so the reviews I mentioned were valid. I made a jig and used it successfully, in fact made two while I had...

Hey Segivia Thanks for this, have spotted this and a big fan of anything Bosch, but tbh honest way out of my price range, as I will be using it for DIY. To be honest, if I was going to outlay that sort of money, would opt for a proper router and just do a whole lot of practicing. Was actually...

Very useful and detailed video, thanks again!

Thanks once again Novocaine. Yes the Lidl warranty has changed I suppose, as I started buying their 20v system in 2017 when it was first introduced, and immediately I had an issue with a battery not holding charge and Lidl UK were as helpful as a second hand condom. I did however contact LIDL in...

Can't argue with you there for sure. Good tools are an asset, was just a bit dubious as I never heard of the Katsu brand before. Really thought the so called Makita one from wish was actually a Makita, didn’t know it was a knock off (how is that legal btw). So in this case, as you seem to...

Hello again Novocaine (got the spelling this time, apologies for before), thanks for that, think I will definitely try the cheap and cheerful option I put up, as after I bought a big 1400w router and returned it already, as mentioned I am trying to find the smallest, lightest one, also most cost...

Hey thanks so much for this detailed response. Although I don’t have a laser cutter or anything near, am pretty surgical with my hand tools, rubbing blocks and jigsaw. Hence me wanting to start using a router as I know that with a little practice I should be pretty proficient. Will work on this...

As mentioned aim reply to Novacaine, have found a cheap yet (according to reviews) effective laminate trimmer. I think a big heavy router is overkill for what I need...

Thanks Mr Novacaine, yeah I suppose I’m lucky I got so far with no errors. Have actually found a cheap laminate trimmer which according to reviews is really good.

No I should have joined this forum first! Lol. Will definitely make a template tomorrow. Thanks so much!

I can’t believe I never saw this before, wow thanks so much! On top of the list for Friday payday!

Sorry the last pic shows the hole for the crossover which goes about 7mm wider and just 3mm deep to accommodate a back plate.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to respond, apologies but got in quite late this evening so did have the chance to do anything much on the speaker cabinets, but here is a pic of the front from about a week ago which will help give an idea of what I’m talking about... Recess has to be...
