Book Slelf for Small Room & Multimedia Speakers

[sadik]

I have started a new project few days back, I am making a small Book Shelf for my Friend & Our Forum Member Mr. Shailesh Dhodia. & Multimedia Speakers for my self.

For Bookshelf Drivers used will be 5.25 Inch (Iwai) & Tweeters from Dayton
For Multimedia Speakers i will be using Tymphany 3.5 Inch Full Range (Gifted to me by Mr Shailesh Dhodia)

Both will be Vented Boxes. Below are the initial Photos of this Project.

Regards,
Sadik

How did you cut the recessing for the odd-shaped midbass driver? Was it done by a carpenter manually using a chisel, or did you use some power tool?

It was Done on CNC Machine. The Drawings were done by me. Mine work is related to Engineering Field I have some precise measuring instruments and i am very good in Engineering drawings. I make the drawings in 3D software so i can actually see how the job will look after completion.

The Front Grill will be covered with grill cloth.

Note : I am using License Version of 3D drawing software.

Do you use Sketchup?

And for the cutting of the recess, what sort of tool does the CNC cutting machine use? Is it some sort of CNC controlled router, or is it something else?

If you're not familiar with professional 3D software like AutoCAD (I am not), you can check out Sketchup. Available on Windows; the base version is free.

I use Autodesk 3ds max as my primary 3d software, along with Maya.

Photos as under

Chamfering on grill is done with help of Router. I have used 45 Deg bit for same.

Now I have started assembly of Book Shelf Speakers, I will soon update the process.

Could you please share the breakup cost & material please?

Material is MDF Green Ply
Please Note I dont have a source where I can get cut pieces of MDF Sheets hence I had to Purchase the complete Sheet.

Sheet Price: Rs. 1440/- (Rs. 45/- Per Sq Ft.) Sheet Size: 8 Ft. x 4 Ft.
Charges of Cutting on CNC: Rs. 700/- (For Multimedia & Book Shelfs)
Terminals for MM Speakers: Rs. 160/- (2 Nos)
Drivers 3.5 Inch: Gifted by Mr. Shailesh Dhodia
Rs. 280/- For Chamfer Bit 45 Deg (Bought Specifically for this Project)
Paint: Rs. 310/- per ltr. (Basic Grade)
NC Putty: Rs. 75/-

Basic Power tools like Drill & Router is a must to get the Proper finish, Secondly it also depends a lot on your wood working skills.

Today Update.

I had finished the assembly of Bookshelf Enclosures. Some Initial Photos as below.

Completed Assembly (Yet to be sanded)

The Top and Bottom walls are slightly bigger then the overall size of side & Front & Back walls. This will be flushed with help of Router using flushing bit so that i can get a perfect Right Angle on all sides. Below Photos are self explanation of this process.

Flushing Bit

In below image i have flushed only half Portion so that you can see how the flush bit works. The Bearing on top of Flush uses the Side walls of Enclosure as a guide & the Bit Cleans out the excess material

I didn't got the time to click the complete photo of Enclosure after flushing all sides but i will upload the Photos later.
