Have a phenomenal day young man!

Damn Doug! I can't express how beautiful those are! Just wow!

Milo was nice enough to finish the finish on my baffles. They look fantastic. Milo really is a handy guy!

Hmmm, I thought straight guys wrapped their "natural materials" in "plastic" all the time. Thanks! I was trying to make them look high end. Sonus Faber and Chario were my inspiration. Good thing Otis doesn't have much going on Saturday. We'll make 'em spiffy!

^ Here and ready for action Sir!

Arm-R-Seal is a urethane modified Tung oil. You get the beauty of Tung oil and the durability of Varithane. Plus it's a wipe on finish, so easy as pie.

Milo and I got the speaker boxes mostly complete today. Made some round holes and some rectangular panels. Tweeter holes are in the Cherry baffles only, as they're not deep enough to need holes in the MDF panel too. Woofer holes and port tube holes in back. Cherry baffles got milled and drilled as well. And the first coat of Arm-R-Seal. The fluting is strictly aesthetics.

Speaker boxes now clad in Black laminate, because we had enough left over from the router table project... Making a solid Cherry 3/4" thick baffle to glue on top of MDF baffles...

Have a fantastic day!

Happy Birthday, Mike!

Hmmm, what might these become?

Have a fantastic Birthday Doug! Hope you and Erika do something fun!

Looks great Adam!

Happy Birthday, Al! Hoping you have a phenomenal day!

'Twas dee-lish!

^ Well, Colin does dress like Village People!

Wow!

1) Cut a big hole in perfect table top (while biting nails)... Check!

Otis does take some pretty crappy pictures!

Happy Birthday, Laura/Ryan! I know that you're not around much anymore, but here's hoping you check in. We miss your witty banter, and insight and we miss you!

Milo (Al's alter ego) and I did some work on our router table/mortising machine today. It's starting to come together... Milo did a huge chunk of the milling and drilling on this, and all the holes and pivot points lined up perfectly! Of course, he stacked the deck a little bit... So upright, it's a regular router table, albeit a large one. tipped down, it's a mortising machine, or horizontal router table, useful for things like raised panels and such. We're really having fun building this and setting up shop in general. Still left to do... cutting the hole in the table top for the router lift, and painting/sealing.

Have a fantastic day!

I've done a little jabbing in the dark.
