[Elecraft] Elecraft SP3 External Speaker details

[Wes (N7WS)]

I've thought of making my own.  I can't bend sheet steel or even aluminum in 
such narrow cross section but some 1 1/2" aluminum channel should work for the 
front and back panels. Everything else is flat stock.

The sharp edges on the channel could be dressed by filing.  I'd probably try it 
on a router table with a carbide round over bit for better precision.  I haven't 
done this before but I've successfully cut aluminum plate on a table saw.  I 
would assemble the plates using bar stock and screws like I did 30 years ago 
when I was building amplifiers. For example:

fasteners.
