I can't find many designs for standmount speakers with waveguide tweeters.
Most of the ones I find use discontinued waveguides or ones that require modifications with a router table or such. A tweeter with a built-in waveguide would be ideal or at least a still available commercial option that needs minimal modification.
Does anyone have recommendations for sub $1000, 8 ohm, 87+dB standmount speaker plans with waveguide, that would work well 1-2 feet from the wall in a medium sized room.
The Hamlet is tempting but I'd prefer US sourced parts since overseas delivery can be such a pain now.
The ER18DXT is one of the few I can find as an option.
- I also forgot to mention, the simpler the build the better. I only have a circular saw and a router. With time and patience I can build a really good box but complex internal supports or external shapes are a bit much.

Check Heissmann acoustics for various wg-300 options. And Helios project from Bagby, with wo24-p.
And puribliss from hificompass with purifi and t25b looks great and would be my choice #1.

It isn't with a WG-300, but the Suzie "Q" | Scan-Speak Discovery compact speaker looks really fun, it is 4 ohm though. The parts are enough below budget that it might still be worth it and just try it with a different amp. I like the mention of 'easy' for the build on it and I do like 8" woofers.
The Cinetor-Evo, Monitor | Home theater speakers is just beautiful and not that much more expensive so it is tempting too.
I hadn't seen that site before so this is just the sort of thing I was hoping to discover. I really appreciate the suggestions.
Time for me to do some more reading.
