VPI 9,857 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Three upcoming projects: 1. 21”x16”x12” Box with lights and hinged glass inset front. Microphone mounts on the bottom board to hold three mics. Can do pocket hole connections I guess. 2. Vertical Shoe stand. Either Single board in the middle or two on the outside with angled shelves attached. 3. 2x4 Acoustic Panels with feet. This one is pretty easy. Pretty sure I am going to need some more tools to complete. Which do I need more, Domino joiner or router? Can’t think of anything to routerize except maybe power cord run for the light. Also, for the box and shoe stand, hardwood or plywood? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sbelyo 293 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I soldered the surface mount components for a Universal Signal Isolator shield for the Arduino DUE. This will allow me to control my Buffalo DAC and add a TFT screen to it as well http://www.dimdim.gr/arduino/universal-signal-isolator-shield-for-the-arduino-due/ 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From someone that knows absolutely nothing about any of this the answer is you clearly need both. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say router, so that you can put a finished edge on any of the exposed pieces of wood. Which really means that you need both a router and a bunch of router bits.

Voltron 24,734 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Presumably, you guys are suggesting Baltic birch plywood, which certainly seems like a solid choice for the box itself and the shoe rack. You can also get quality plywood with even fancier wood faces depending the what you want for the finish. We used teak faced plywood for Stretch's bbq island but there is unfinished or prefinished maple and other options. Either way, you can use thin strips of matching hardwoods to trim the exposed plywood edges unless you like that look, and you can use solid harwood for the door on the microphone case. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VPI 9,857 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Yeah, going to visit an actual lumber yard or two tomorrow to look for supplies. Outside of putting a plug in the pocket holes on the top, I am not sure how to make a nice top for the mic box without the domino thing. Just not sure if the local stores have them in stock, as it seems all the people that did not start podcasts during the plague, got into woodworking with Festool tools.

Voltron 24,734 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 You can place the pocket holes on the inside of the top and bottom of the box to attach the sides. Then line the top with a hardwood piece to cover those holes, while the mic holder/stand will be on the bottom to cover those holes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VPI 9,857 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Yeah, might work for the top as I have to put some kind of LED up there and it will be the most visible part, most of the time. The mic holders are only small circles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Voltron 24,734 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Ah. You can still put in clean hardwood or plywood piece over the holes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Voltron 24,734 Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Boards are easy and they probably can cut the plywood down to fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I meant to say something earlier, but if you let me know what size piece of glass I can see if it'd fit in the laser and we could have a go at etching your logo into it for enhanced fancy.
