Wish I'd known you and been able to coerce you into doing our bathroom.
You might wanna hang some drapes. You ain't that good lookinMaritime said:And Done:
The post-gimp version works for me mate, but I've got an iffy neck. I'll have to re-delegate to the missus - she'll no doubt re-delegate to the cat. We'll probably end up with one huge litter tray, but there'll be beer.Maritime said:Ha
Ha, pre gimp and I'd have helped for beer. Post gimp I'd still help but you'd have to do more with me telling you how LOL. This is like my 7th bathroom reno. 3 mine 4 for family/friends
no neighbors to the back but Jill will be doing that soonRedbird said:You might wanna hang some drapes. You ain't that good lookin
SONIC. said:Not much going on over here lately.
I did pick up a set of drivers for some Klipsch Chorus speakers so I decided to build some cabinets for them.
After a lot of back and forth I decided to give MDF and veneer a go, mostly because I've never done a lot of veneer and I wanted to learn the skill.
I'll probably go back and build some nice solid walnut cabinets at some point but this has been a fun distraction for a bit!
I'll post up some finished photos when I get the veneer on, be they good or bad lol

advCo said:Sweet, I built some MDF Cabinets for my floor speakers and they absolutely kill the old crappy particle board cabinets. I thought about walnut or another dense wood but for the price, MDF is where its at.
I love the 3m backed veneers. I have a series of sculptures where I used a cherry in various ways. They adhere really well to a variety of shaped surfaces. One using a paper cutter to slice them into 1" squares to create a parquet pattern and one in lengths, for examples...SONIC. said:Not much going on over here lately.

CrabsAndCylinders said:Those will sound great. Did you brace them, MDF can flex?
I used 1" for my subs but I may try birch ply for the mids and tweeters.
CrabsAndCylinders said:MDF or high grade plywood with no voids are the best wood materials for speakers.
SONIC. said:Yep mdf is the best sonically. Or HDF really, but as a woodworker it just feels cheap and shitty. We shall see if I can live with them or rebuild some nice ones!
irk miller said:MacIntosh is known for doing cabinets out of spaced ply and filling the gaps with sand. About a good as it gets, sonically speaking. When it comes to MDF, i prefer not to think of it as wood at all, but instead a wood-like composite. It routes so easily, I actually prefer it over many woods for sculptural production.
