Whilst 4 drivers will not work as hard …they will move large volumes of air in total. My cabs are 150 litres 😁😁 and go down to 18 Hz using Volt drivers which are bomb proof but £££££. I have an internal cruciform brace with an adjustable pad that supports the rear of the drive magnet too. A...

My sub cabinets for my lounge system are constructed from 30mm mdf with 18mm internal bracing. They are clad in 18mm yellow belau hardwood. Subs generate large internal forces from the volume of air moved by …in my case a 18” driver so the internal cruciform bracing is essential. My ported...

20 years ago I built a shed out of the bitumen coated osb that was then available from Wickes. Lasted well only took it don when we built an extension

Whilst not wanting to drift off the OP’s thread …whatever happened to that era of doing a mate a favour cos your experienced at it etc …knowing you’ll get similar in return etc

Too many handbags being waved about imho 😁😁

A fine sunny day here so after 30 mins sanding/ surface treating a sequoia table I’m part way through it was time to set up the bora caterpillar table and get the chestnut planks from the garage. I’d marked out the positions of the channels late yesterday so today was a chance to get the planks...

Thanks Ian The planks have been left to ‘mature’ for around two months ….ive seen/experienced issues before with cupping/twisting after surface flattening too. Slots will be used on the channels 👍

Earlier in the year I got my hands on a 90mm thick 2.4 x 0.5m slab of chestnut ….a long return journey to Whitlsea. Took it to my contact with a portable milling saw to get it split Here it is after splitting and a quick run over with the belt sander After levelling on my milling table the...

I use a mix of beeswax/carnuba/micro crystalline wax dissolved in pure turps/linseed oil on my tables ….and Stig has tried it with good effect on some of his turned pieces

A mere $7000 though 😱

Once you have your slice soak both faces in a mix of 75%white spirit 25% Tung oil …..it will slow down the moisture loss and potentially the splitting. What thickness are you going for ? Alternatively my wife has used these for table centres at weddings...

Never ventured into turning ….live edge custom tables etc are my focus

A neighbourhood member at last ….welcome

On a good quality table saw it cuts very cleanly. Routing wise …a sharp cutter is best 😀. In respect of sanding the long grain ….it can scratch easily from the edges of folded sandpaper.. I’d avoid using a belt sander. The parts of the redwood heartwood can stand proud of the background.

Second slab (42mm) of sequoia just cut to size on a friends industrial table saw

and if your not careful with sandpaper will scratch very easily too

Well you make an egg first 😂😂

Not the best idea to put your email address on an open forum

I see small side tables 😍😍
