Thanks guys.

I'm going to forge ahead with the project, though I'm still undecided if I'm going to be so elaborate as doing an N-29. I knew from the beginning it was overkill, but for me, the experience I gain from the journey is worth it.

With all I've learned attempting the N-29, a big N-11 would be a cake walk.

My recommendations to anyone else looking to build one of these 2D diffusers, is to KISS.

If I were doing this for a studio, I'd build big, solid, easy, and efficient. More sound treatment tends to work better than a few *really* good ones IMHO.

All that said; I'm going to start building up a better set of Jigs this week. Even if I don't do a Prime-29, a really sharp set of super accurate jigs will allow me to build these for local guys with speed and accuracy that only experience would have brought me. And I'm seriously considering building a fleet of 2' X 2' 2D diffusers for my guitar room and future two channel listening area. So the effort isn't at all a loss, just a lesson.

More to come as I make progress on the jigs. I'm sure once I get this sorted out I'll be churning these out like nothing.
