(Quote) I realize it must have been a cool idea that just turned into a part-time job at times, but it really was amazing to see in real life. You made them so smooth, shiny and realistic looking that they looked like the actual Minions -- at least …

They sure are gorgeous looking drivers. The texture on the aluminum is just fantastic. I love the thickness of the flange too. There are some drivers I'd love to mount in a frame and hang on the wall they're so pretty! About as exotic as I've ever…

It's a Minion onesie! I bet Universal contacts you about these speakers. If they do, don't take any less than $10,000 for them! TomZ
-
I was wondering what happened to these. I'm glad that you're still going with them. They really do look incredible, and I'd have to disagree with you, you are a pretty dang good sculptor! Please play some 'Minion' sounds through them during your li…

That came out nice! It's exciting to see people using actual real wood instead of the cardboard that I usually use. I know what you mean about the amp... but it was kind of cutting edge for the price when it came out all those years ago! It's proba…

Those are some really cool desktop speakers. You got the height just right it looks like too. It's a nice look. I'm too afraid to do colors it seems, I stick with veneer, but I should branch out a bit, those really pop! TomZ
-
(Quote) Yes, that's the stuff. I can't even find my mis-fires down there for the life of me. I found the brand I used, it was by Varathane. My leftovers hardened in the can, but it's never rock-hard so yeah, it always stays a touch pliable, which is…

Johnny, those came out nice. Just a quick mention on the finish... when I put my hardwood floor in my dining room, I made more than a few boo-boo's. I borrowed my father's cleat nailer... non-pneumatic - never heard of that until he showed me... yo…
-
You spent more time on, and executed the midrange sub-enclosure with more precision that some folks do on their entire speaker system. Crossovers included. :) Looks pretty cool. TomZ
-
Looking good Johnny. The round over looks asymmetrical at the corners, sanded manually? I bet that took a bit of time... looks right, though. But my big question is... where are you getting the energy to do all these projects? TomZ
-
Is part of the goal to grab some of the 'warmth' of the class AB amp section in the amp? I don't know how its supposed to be done, but if you have some crossover resistors to fiddle with, I would think you could get close by trial and error with a …

I had not heard of adhesive backed sandpaper. That looks like a pretty useful idea. I could see that being handy in lots of ways. I've done a bunch of different shapes with sandpaper spray-adhesive'd to it, but not a plastic spreader. Yeah, spra…

If Tesla was able to 'transmit' electricity wirelessly for hundreds of feet, I can believe that some kind of stray voltage flying around this testers apartment could have caused an audible noise in a speaker driver. I've heard boosted CB and HAM ra…

Interesting though that 180 Hz and 300 Hz are both multiples of 60 Hz. Second and fourth order harmonics coming into play somehow? TomZ
-
Those are nice looking. The outriggers add a touch of pizzazz too. Wait, the strip near the top is alum? Beautiful they are. TomZ
-
(Quote) I'm thinking that's why they maybe changed things around too. ...But I'm on my phone looking at a product and I can neither access reviews nor read any questions about the product I'm looking at. I know that things that are different are so…

Man, that's dedication. Bet your router bits will last longer being cryo-treated and all. :) TomZ

AARP started sending me membership invites several years ago... about the time I started really going gray... wonder how they knew? :) TomZ

(Quote) I just watched that very skit just last night! And the one where the cop finds a shell (unexploded military) on the beach... Bob Newhart was a funny guy. :) TomZ
-
(Quote) Well nuts! Where were you when I was making this stupid contraption! :) I knew there had to be something that already existed to do this, but I couldn't find something that I liked. That doesn't seem very comfortable to hold though. It do…

I recently finished a little gizmo that I've wanted to make for years for trimming Veneer... or more specifically, the paper portion of paper-backed veneer. Even though I didn't intend for this to be a tool that would cut all the way through, it act…

Apparently, I actually signed up a few years ago but didn't know it. I had trouble registering for some reason, and at the time, my life was so crazy that was enough to make me give up. Fast forward to last week and I thought I was having deja-vu a…

I appreciate the welcome fellas!
-
Wow, that is turning into a work of art. I have no idea what anything is, but it's beautiful. TomZ
-
I know I'm late to the discussion, but congratulations on making lemon meringue pie out of lemons. I don't care what the circumstances are... it takes some bravery to pull the plug on one job/career/way of life and try for something new. Us men are…

Thank you John.

Thanks you sir!

I second Dcibel's suggestion. I've brushed it on, and it dries so fast that you almost have to treat it like polyurethane... one or two and done... or else it starts to dry that fast being alcohol based. A touch tricky brushing because of that, but …
