    I'd be too impatient and fit the drivers first and test them. If they were good, I'd probably never get round to the cosmetic stuff
    Love the work you do, Grant. When you replace drivers, do you 'tune' them by ear, or have you any measuring kit you use?

    Normally its a bit of guesswork Pete looking at similar jobs in similar sized cabs..not very scientific lol.. This one i have done a little checking and math through a site and as the cabs have a limited depth i can probably only get to 8 inch length max and hoping 7 will do. So ears will be used. Ive marked the tubes in inches to guage the effect. As ive said im no pro, just like playing

    A trick I use to bring gouges up and out is to put hot damp cotton wool along them for a while. The moisture swells the compressed wood fibres and raises the surface. Often the mark will then sand right out.

    Water can be useful, yes. Its good to raise the wood hairs for a final sand or sometimes to stain. Decided to try disguise this time with my graining pens and then sand very lightly till it blends.
