After reading DarqueKnight's posts on his Dreadnought Project I decided to try my hand at it rather than buy one.
I have not had a chance to do any critical listening, but I wanted to post a few pics. Next on the agenda is to make the cables. So here they are the pics of the first stage.
Having trouble with pics........
Coming soon

Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....
