    Thanks!
    I decided to install the moldings in the final stage. This allowed me to use the router to trim the veneer. Not all of my attempts of producing the quarter round molding was successful. Jatoba because of its hardness is also brittle and can chip-out and leave you with firewood. This would have been fairly catostrophic if the molding was already in place. There may be a way to use a roundover bit if the molding was integral to the panel but I have my doubts. Compound angles made me drag out the ole wood rasp at one point.

    Woody ... very nice work so far. You and I both missed the pair of 250ti's with a BIN of $999 last week in Newberg.

    (I have a message in to the seller in case the sale falls through ..
    (thx Punch for the pointer))

    I hope you address the issue that all L250/250Ti owners have ....the veneer comes down soo low that moving them on carpet snags & strips the veneer. when you damage the beautiful wood just by moving them , well ...thats a big "Oh Sheet" moment.

    There are a couple of threads here on that issue.

    WOW! I would have jumped on them like a "chicken on a june bug" and saved myself a bunch of effort. My wood shop is usually colder in the morning than the outside temp. I am hoping that my taller glides will help resolve the veneer issue.

    The only real problem with the veneer on the 250s is the exposed particle board on the bottom edges. As it ages and dries out the veneer gets sloughed off. Even a thin strip of ply or just veneer on the bottom edges - property sealed - will eliminate that issue. And it would be invisible.

    grill cloth

    I finally was able to put the finishing touches on the clone project. I diverted as usual and used magnets instead of sockets for the grill attachments. The photo flash makes the grill cloth color appear a lot bluer than in real life. In normal light they appear almost black. I will attach the JBL badges before I power them up.
