Yeah man, that work space is beautiful. Those old Delta table saws are some seriously accurate machines. And those Delta Jointers last forever. Still have my Delta jointer, but I've since moved to a Saw Stop table saw. It's a lot nicer, but there's just no character to it. Which planer is that, for my curiosity?

Is the thicker part just a tube for two runs of mini starquad? I've always wondered how people make such nice-looking Y-cables.

Yep, and also as a strain relief for the split.

This is looking like a real sweet project! Great pictures so far. The only down side is I won't be able to hear them when done.

The last of my parts arrived, some perfect lay inductors and wirewound resistors from Solen, and I did all the soldering to the speakers, which will make it easier in the long run when it comes time to assemble it.
OOOH A BOX! What's inside it????
Parts
More parts...
More parts....
Speaker and tweeter tabs are a b!tch to solder and thread stranded wire through...I HATE THEM ALL.
Some pics of my home workshop (ie, the dining room table and kitchen counter):
