Hi everyone, It's been a while. ?
I'm currently working on replacing the broken "fretwork" speaker grille. There was enough left of the old grille to trace half of it onto poster board. I folded the pattern in half and cut it out with a razor. I dry fitted into the cabinet, and found the original grille was not symmetrical. The design really did not match the scalloped opening, and the reveal was off in spots.
I started over by making a pattern of the scalloped opening, and tracing the symmetrical pattern onto a new pattern, then made some adjustments to the reveal. I think I'm pretty close now, and ready to transfer onto my walnut plywood. Off to the scroll saw next. I think my radio may have been assembled on a monday. The bottom trim doesn't line up either. ?
