Hi All,
I recently completed the build and I am happy with the sound. The cabinet however is not perfect, and that's the problem. The cabinet is a couple of mm out here and there and the lean on the truncated pyramid is also a degree out, here and there. What I thought would be a straight forward build was actually very challenging. I had zero woodwork experience and to make matters worse I don't believe the table saw I used is especially accurate either....although they say a bad workman always blames his tools!!
I love the speakers and therefore want them to be perfect (or as close as possible).
Could anyone point me in the right direction of a CAD designer who would be able to complete a CAD design for the cabs. Alternatively if there is anyone on this site who is able to do that I would be more than happy to pay a good rate.
I'm based in Yorkshire (UK)
Many thanks
Paul

You might be expecting too much.
Troels has years of experience and a well equipped workshop for his builds.
It would be a very good workshop that could cut the pieces accurately for that cabinet.
Before paying for drawings, get quotes for the woodworking to see if anyone is willing to cut the wood and at what price.
You could build the simpler version or fettle the cabinets you have made and finish them in a way that hides the blemishes.
Veneering would be one way.

Thanks for the response. Yes Troels is pretty good at the old wood work. It's just the truncated pyramid angles that I couldn't get 100% right. The bass cab and driver holes were straight forward enough.
I might just rework the cabinets as you suggested and veneer them.
