Every time I see you post in this thread I have the urge to acquire tools and try and make some pieces, but I know it’s going to fall way short of what I’d want it to be like.
Probably will, but next time it will be a little better and the next time…
You know where it’s going
This, just give it a go. Don’t need to spend a shed load on tools, just keep them sharp all the time and buy a bloody accurate engineers set square. Start off with softwood and just start making stuff.

I’ve been musing on making a case for my Remton 383 out of 5mm walnut sheet, a la cut-price Aurorasound Vida.
Likewise, it will be a mess.

I tried a plinth for my Lenco. It was a mess 
I’ll probably just use Lego instead.
I tried this. It took ages to get the smell of burning lego out of the house. I am beyond hopeless with DIY.

I did make a triangular picture frame a few years ago for a psych event poster I picked up in Brussels when I studied over there.
It is still in one piece, so maybe there is hope.

Feckin’ show-off 
Pretty epic - presumably going to double-up as a shelter for when Best-Korea’s Kim presses the “roundeyes go-away” button…
You’re me, but yellower.

Lovely - I presume you’ve budgeted for a crane to lift the bloody thing into the house?
I have staff at work for that, it’s coming up to staff reporting time and they are young and gullible

You little fucking beauty!
Many years ago I persuaded two students from work to help me and my brother-in-law heave four 300lb steel beams into my roofspace in return for a curry. Honestly I didn’t have to pressure them at all, but looking back I don’t think I’d be quite so happy about the physical risks now.

I broke the junior staff chap, shame.
Legs on, some dowels to finish off, couple of shelves to make s well as the top platform for the turntables.
