Wow, it's actually pretty easy. I just drew it out to spec, and have about 3.5ft^2 of board left.

EDIT-that 3.5ft^2 of extra is doing some rough math. Plugging everything into a calculator, if this were a perfect world, there would be about 5.5ft^2 extra.

EDIT-None of the numbers for extra wood is counting the cutouts for speakers/ports/etc.

You really wanna know?

1/4" blade = ~125.7in^3(1/14ft^3) of sawdust, assuming it's repacked to it's original density. A solid block about 5x5x5 inches.

1/8" blade = ~62.86in^3(1/28ft^3) of sawdust, assuming it's repacked to it's original density. A solid block about 4x4x4.

Look at the time of post and the time of the edit. It didn't take me very long to calculate that out.

I asked McD's for no pickle or onion, it's got about 5 slices of pickles and sliced and diced onions. :o They're gettin' a pretty nasty call from me here in a couple minutes.

This is NOT meant to offend anyone on here, as it's a reference to the local population only.

EDIT-Removed anyway.

75% of the mexican population here either doesn't speak english, or doesn't act like it. I'm sick of getting my orders wrong after driving 20 minutes to get it.

I'm not racist, at all, but there are good and bad people in every nationality.

One of my two best friends is mexican.

EDIT-If someone doesn't appreciate this being up, or is offended, just say so. I have no problem removing it. EDIT-I did anyway, just 'cause.

Well, figure about 1 hour of solid cutting (never timed myself doing non-stop cutting), you got 1.65kW using single phase (110vac @ 15a).

You have to drive 20 minutes to McD? Wow. They are space conviently 5 minutes apart from each other up here in Minnesota....

Also: You cannot fit 2 DBs on one sheet. I tried it. Hell, you can hardly fit 1 if you double up everywhere you need.

I thought you could build two DB10's out of one 4x8 sheet. When I get a 4x8 sheet it's a little over, Jet's/lee's right. That accounts for the thickness of the blade. I use a new sheet for the outside and use scraps inside if I can.
I think that you may not have it reinforced at the driver mount and lid, I can't seem to find the cut list I made up. I always draw out my cuts on paper before I start slicing.
