Mio C520 GPS. Now I can get where I'm going in the new wheels with minimal effort.

FIFY What can Brown do for you today?

It'll enlarge your penis.

My thoughts exactly. I love my Darwin! Soon to be recased.

Intersting indeed. I used to have a pair of NAD 2200 amps back in the day. In bridged mode I pumped 400 watts into each of my ESS AMT 1D speakers. They were quite nice sounding amps. At $350.00 ea. for the Outlaws it's hard to see how you could go too far wrong.

Nice score Earl! I had been looking at the same model, but the lack of a balanced analog input won't suit the needs of my balanced system. It's a real surprise to hear you say you prefer it to the Zhalooser101, and the Zapped Opus.

This mirrors my feelings exactly! I'm about as White as a loaf of Wonderbread, and I was born and raised in this country. That being said if anything I'm even more distraught that we let people like this represent the general population. I'm completely embarrased when some backwater redneck, racist like Betty Biggot spouts some insensative, narrow minded retoric when what she's supposed to be doing is representing the view of the majority of her constituants. And I can assure you that is not the view of the majority of her constituants, even in Terrell, Texas.

Welcome to my world! Even the kids down here have gun racks on their Big Wheels. I think Betty Brown should adopt a new lipstick that I could easier deal with! But she'll keep defending her statement, because she has no idea what a moron she is, or why the rest of us might take offense to her absurd remark.

Now all of a sudden it doesn't sound so fun. In fact it sounds really ewwyy. I'm going to go shower now.

Hmmm. All this time when everyone was saying you're a real Stax guy, I thought they were talking about your pickup truck... Now it's all starting to make sense. Really though, great work! I love these kinds of threads, where you really get a chance to learn something. Very interesting stuff, and it will be even cooler if this ends up altering the sound of these headphones for the better.

Wow! You're good! You hadn't even seen it yet. Sounds like fun. Post the pic Smeggy.

Oh definitely, it's great for boats and outdoor furniture, as it's quite resistant to rott. I just meant that I don't find it especially appealing for woodworking in general, considering all of the other wood choices. That is however just one man's opinion.

?????? I can buy Bocote for about the same as many domestic woods, I find it quite reasonable. Now Ziricote is another story. The expensive woods are those such as Gabon Ebony, Pink Ivory, Buckeye Burl... I never was a Teak fan anyway. A very blah looking wood IMO.

Does it have penguin shit on the packaging?

Ah hell real men snort Cocobolo dust.

FIFY No, That's when Peter and Paul are sick, leaving just Mary on stage.

That's gorgeous! I'd give it about 3 more coats buffed with 0000 steel wool between each one. That will give it some depth for that crazy, fantastic graining. Excellent work!

Beautiful veneer Nebby! I like to use a veneer trimmer like this... A+ Edgebanding Trimmer now in stock at VeneerSupplies.com They trim it perfectly flush, but be sure to trim within 1/16" first with a utility knife and straight edge. If you try to trim more than that it can get hung up and cut too deep into the grain.

Yeah lacquer is great. If you're using spray cans (or tins for the UK crowd) I like Deft the best, and it happens to be one of the least expensive as well. Home Depot and Lowes carry it. 0000 steel wool is a necessity in between coats IMO. It really gives a smooth finish.

Happy Birthday!

:o:o:prettyprincess: I assumed the line ahead of me was rather long. That's great news, but don't kill yourself on my account kind sir.

Thanks guys! Marc, the Austin meet sounds great, and of coarse I'll be there, but I plan on comming to bug you before that. I'll bring the Teflon project (Uber secret, sorry) , your wooden faceplates and my F5 for initial fire up. Oh, and when I say initial fire up, I don't actually mean flames this time.

I prefer this one.

There are several woods with a really heavy grain. Wenge really comes to mind. Personally when I choose a wood I keep the grain in mind, and instead of trying to make the grain smooth I celebrate the texture. The texture is part of the beauty IMO, but I understand that's not always ideal for others. There are a few methods for filling grain. The first is paste filler, and that usually imparts some foreign color, for better or worse. Second is sanding sealer. Multiple layers of sanding sealer, sanded between each coat, before the desired finish product works well for medium grained woods. For heavy grained woods that need to be filled I prefer Target HSF5100. It fills without adding too much color. HSF5100 High Solids Grain Filler
