My $6 1x12" DIY cab (tons of photos)

Here's the tools I used:
1. Ryobi Router (with mini-work tablemount).
2. Cheap-o Craftsmen plastic dovetail jig.
3. Jigsaw.
4. Rip saw (hand circular saw).
5. Hand Drill.
6. Screwdriver.
7. Soldering Iron.
8. Dremel tool.

Here's the extras I had on hand:
1. Scrap wood, odds & ends.
2. Half a bottle of woodglue.
3. Large sheet of plywood.
4. A Pencil and square.
5. A bellcover from a dead transformer.
6. An extra jack (from a Telecaster mind you) and some wire.
7. An old T-Shirt promoting the horrible film "Domino".
8. Not enough oxblood grill cloth to do anything with.

I went to HellDepot and bought two sheets of solid Pine. Good quality, no bad knots. 11" wide, 3/4" thick, 6' long each. Each sheet was just under $6, one sheet built this 1x12" cab... the next sheet will build an identical cab for a seperate speaker I have on deck.

Pics and a step-by-step coming soon...
