Just Another Mountain JukeBox Copy ;) COMPLETED but SPEAKER BLOWN 11/12/2008
drawfull:
Check the point where the mitres meet in the last pic. I fixed the pics heheh
:)
Kaytrim:
Here is an idea. Take out the top piece from the frame and remake it. Recut the two side pieces so the miters are back in the corner like they should be. Install the new top piece and you should be back in business.
javeryh:
I must be slow or something... I still can't see how you made a mistake that will show through to the front when it is all said and done...
EDIT: I see it now. Last pic upper right shows the mitre not hitting the corner. Kaytrim - it isn't a matter of remaking that one piece because he cut the corner of the two side pieces as well. Hmmm... this is a tough one. I'd probably recut all three pieces or just remake the frame since you aren't too far along.
Totally sucks though and I DEFINITELY feel your pain. I mean you could shave 3mm off of the entire thing on the other 3 sides to get it square again but that might mess up other things (like the relation to the base). Damn. Hopefully someone smarter than me will chime in with a solution.
Kaytrim:
Look at the upper right corner on this pic javeryh. You will notice that the cut line doesn't go to the corner.

At first this sounded like a possible idea, but along with what javeryh pointed out if you look closely at the upside down piece, the top edge is also chamfered 10degs (for the sloping front). In any case, it's a nightmare.

We discussed at length. The biscuited circle is a day's work essentially. Well perhaps not quite but not easy either. The frame took a couple of days - but that was quite easy as it could just be an arbitrary size - if it were to be remade it would have to be perfect... Also, is the time frame. The builder is leaving for sunnier climes in just shy of two weeks, so it HAS to be done by then and there's still LOTS to do.
We're still thinking of a way around the problem. :banghead:
