What layout did you decide to use, the angled or straight? If you chose straight across then cutting the pieces to angle is a snap. If you are using the original angled layout, then it is going to be more difficult. I'm not sure I would have tried it on my 4P panel if I hadn't had a compound mitre saw. |

I sloped mine towards the front, and to do it I used a bandsaw on all the pieces. Then, once you have the panel sides all together, you sand until everything is on a nice and even slope. Watch those fingers! ;) |

I have limited skill, and I've never done this kind of stuff before. I only have a few tools, and I'm not sure if I could actually build this on an angle without buying more. I currently own... Jigsaw Circular saw Router (plunge and fixed base) I was thinking of buying a mitre box and a hand saw for cutting the angled pieces on the CP box, but I'm not sure how to slope the box. Good idea to use a mitre box? Making the whole thing slope towards the front poses another problem... --- End quote --- You could always build a flat box and just angle the mounting in the cabinet. The CP enclosure on my multi-jamma would be 100% flat if you pulled it out of the machine, but it is tilted forward in the cabinet. Does that make sense (didn't sleep much last night) ? Cheers. |
