STAGE ASSEMBLY, PART 13

Let's have some fun, shall we? What you are looking at here is the nearest corner from the audience's POV of one of the speaker boxes. This is covered with "wallpaper" and would be to the rear of the TV cabinet, above the stage, on either side of the ship in a bottle. I don't care about the parts of the paper that are not adhering well. You will see why.

The speaker box is about 7 1/2" tall. I cut a 1" dowel to a 7 1/2" length, then cut it into two lengths at some random point. This way it will fit into my band saw. Using the band saw, I cut a notch lengthwise in each that creates a 90 degree void.

I hot melt glue the dowel pieces to the corner of the speaker box. This is why I didn't care about any loose "wallpaper". For the record, I also tapped in some small screws at the back of each dowel section because, well, in my history I have learned that at some point you can always count on hot melt glue to fail.

Snag some images from The Enchanted Tiki Room, put them onto my computer and bolt them together, send the result to Staples to be printed out in color (just like my wallpaper and some other features to be seen in this project), cut them out and glue them to the dowels, and lookee what I now got!
