It was in the low 30s overnite and chilly until the sun was up for a couple hours.

Anyway I got the baffle and back cover rails glued in place today.

Cut the baffle out and drilled perimeter mounting holes and transferred to the rails. Circle cut outs were done on a router table. A pilot hole in center with a screw for axle into the table at the appropriate radius distance to pivot the work

I still need to install "T" nuts for the speaker mounting. The grill cloth perimeter is installed.
My grill cloth and handles and jack assembly comes tomorrow.

Cloth and handles in. It is good top to bottom but I am going to reposition side to side to get better alignment.

I'm not sure I understand the purpose of the metal corner protectors on the 5E3 cabinet.
