We are getting close. Last word i had from Chris was that i was going to need more cash for the CNC operator.

I think Baffles are done, with sides underway. I have almost finished clearing the space i need to pack them.

I would like to order a frugel-horn Mk3 flat-pak dave, my computer seems be blocking my e-mail to you (at planet10) or i might be missing something which is very possible! How do I order?

You need to get in touch with me by email. I have sent you one that you can reply to.

And the lastest news is that Chris & Tak got the 1st of the sides ut this weekend. I am scheduled to go in over the next week and help sort and pre-prep for packaging. Then they will start trickling out. Each one will take sometime to box up, I hope to get 3 or 4 sets out a week.

Great News!

yay!! can't wait.

I have the 1st 3 sets here to finish shipping prep, and sufficient at the shop to fill all current orders. Chris has a pic of the 1st set in the inner box.

Chris did a couple tricks on these that are quite elegant, and him & Tak did their best to grain match the baffles and (seperately) grain match the sides.

We'll be doing a mock assembly with pictures next week.

I blasted together an earlier version of these over the weekend (without the simple "tricks" Dave mentioned) - I trust builders will find them a relatively easy assembly.

The 1st flat-pak went out today -- behind expectations but a start. I will be working to catch up. Chris & i went thru and sorted and prepared sets today. A few more baffles need to be made (to accomodate the actual driver distribution as opposed to our inital guess).

Here with Bonita (the pro) and Tiffany (the trainee)

Trivia: Each flat-pak eats up about 2 1/2 rolls of packing tape.

More: If we made these with all 18mm they would exceed the max dimension allowed.
