Re: TG "The Loudspeaker" Build (Sort of)

That must have been quite a relief! Extraordinary attention to detail though...

Re: TG "The Loudspeaker" Build (Sort of)

They're a fair bit more expensive than the Rennies so should last much better... Be interested if you find the same as Steve and Max as I need some more - the moisture resistant flooring chipboard ruined mine including an uncut spiral bit I was trying out and overheated before I did much with it. ht...

Re: TG "The Loudspeaker" Build (Sort of)

Wow that's bad luck with the router bits. What brand were they?

I've not use birch ply for 15 years or more, but I can confirm that floor grade chipboard is excessively hard on tools, especially when they hit metal inclusions in the chipboard...

Masks aren't the nicest thing to wear for long periods. There's also a Trend P3 that came out maybe 5 years ago that seemed less clunky? I don't how it performs though, and I quite like that the other straps to my head as it feels secure. https://www.trend-uk.com/stealth-sm-trend-air-stealth-respira...

Re: TG "The Loudspeaker" Build (Sort of)

I'm sure it'll take a while - there's a lot to do and it's supposed to be fun not a chore. One day at a time. :thumbleft: An FP3 mask is good enough for asbestos so should be good enough for wood dust. Perhaps the fit isn't quite a seal? I use one of these and can test the seal - never had any probl...

Re: TG "The Loudspeaker" Build (Sort of)

Looking good, can't wait to see what a 300L cabinet actually looks like. I feel the router pain! I have a big 1/2" Triton in a router table but for free hand stuff I'm still using the half price special from Aldi or Lidl that cost £12.50 in the end. It's not great and I keep thinking I should g...

Nice Steve. Does aluminium work-harden at all or can it be bent "in one"?

I'm no metalbasher Steve, how did you get such a nice corner and straight side at the front?

Re: On My Bench.

Recliner no worky, very serious indeed. Excellent interim solution Dave :thumbright: .

I think you've let yerself go a bit there though, not as neat cutting as previously. It's to be expected though when faced with such an emergency.

Re: Audiojumble 03/03/24
