Well, things are moving along. I framed up the rear wall of the Control room Saturday. The structural part of it, that is. And I laid-out the framing for the slot resonators, and the up-lighting "bench".

The area for the slot resonators are a maximum 24" deep, and a minimum 14" deep and about 48" across. Seems kinda big to me. Attached is a picture of the base plates laid out on the floor. I'll end up with a rear wall height of about 11 feet. The functionality of the slot resonators will sort of "end" at about 9' high. It'll still appear to go from floot to ceiling, but that additional 2 feet will actually allow me to install the return air vents for the CR in that void.

The bottom of the slot resonators are of course sealed by the floor, and a piece of 5/8" plywood will seal the top at 9'. Again, above that is the void for the return air vents.

Sound like a plan?
Any thoughts on the dimensions of the Slot Resonators?

These are just rough. Of course, all joinery will be "Screwed and Glued.

Looking good, Michael. Was your brain giving you fits figuring out all those angles for your cuts? Looks like you got em right, though.

As far as joinery goes, the rule of thumb is "if it works, it's great". You can buy all the tools in the world, but when it comes to framing, the tried and true toenail approach works as well as anything.

Have fun!!!

I use the K-I-S-S rule Darryl. ;)
 
First time my boss said to "KISS" it, I thought he was crazy. So I did.:D Felt really foolish. He looked at me, and rolled his eyes. The guys around me in the shop had a standing joke for years after that. Never lived it down.:rolleyes: What a moron.

Doggone, that is going to look soooooo good when the slats are on. I'm green. Nice work.

Michael, have you framed your window in the CR front wall yet? If so, can you post some pics of it. Thanx

Michael, check your post at John's - sorry it took so long... Steve
 
Yeah thanks Steve.
I'm not sure if we are both talking apples and oranges here.
Maybe have a look at my reply on John's site?

Thanks again.
 
I added, and maybe John added a pic after you were there...
