Ron's 2016 Cabinet Work Part I: Bozak E-300
#44

Thanks, Gary - I appreciate that. I compared photos I could find of Bozak E-300 speakers to the grille cloth currently available from various sources, and the cloth I ultimately purchased from Parts Express seemed to be the closest match.

http://www.parts-express.com/speaker-gri...e--261-810

It's actually supposed to be a Fender guitar amp pattern. Other than the mistakes I made, I do like how this cloth looks on the Bozak cabinets.

I only wish that it had been real cloth, and not something made of plastic fibers. Icon_thumbdown Which would have been OK had it not been for having to fold it around the left and right sides plus around the back edges.

I think that if I had it to do over again, I would have started in the front and worked my way towards the back on both sides instead of starting on one side and working my way around to the other side as I did. Oh well, the cloth part is done. Even if it isn't 100% perfect, the cabinets still look better than they did before.

I bought more lattice molding today on my lunch hour plus some medium brown paneling nails for the bottom trim, so I should be all set for the final assembly. I think I will carefully measure the bottom molding and drill pilot holes for the nails at precise spots on the sides and front of the bottom trim, to avoid splitting the trim and to make the finished product look as if they were supposed to look that way.

Oh, regarding clamping the tops. I only have two extra large C-clamps and I couldn't justify buying two more for a one time use. So I compromised. I laid both new tops on a flat surface, top sides in (facing each other), and piled lots of heavy books on top of them. It was the only alternative I could think of.
