Routing:
* box joints designed for 1/2" thick plywood (0.475" nominal)
* a nominal 0.005" gap has been designed around all box joint fingers
* lower quality plywood sheets can vary in thickness sheet-to-sheet. use test coupons on each layout to confirm if any offset should be applied to the design to get a snug fit
* optional: shallow pocket cut the speaker icon, and inlay with opaque epoxy, contrasting wood, or metal insert
Assembly:
glue up the three subassemblies separately
* do not glue monitor stand to main rack box, so monitor height can be adjusted
* do not glue base to main rack box, to allow flat or angled reconfiguration later
