the center channel is MTM whereas the surrounds are MMT, i can do it as both if someone wants it that way

all of these parts will be cut out on a CNC, i should be up and cutting in about a week, so i will have some sample products up and ready by this time next week

got bored so i came up with a new logo

and here is some speaker mounts i have designed up, they will be cut from 3/4 inch mdf and will be countersunk to your speakers, just give me the outside diamater and how far you want it countersunk, up to 1/4 inch there is a 6.5 with a tweeter mount, a 6 inch and tweeter adapter for a 6x9 hole and a door panel for 4 6.5's

got some render of the home theater speaker i mentioned im trying to work on the price, but im looking at about 150ish per kit, or 175 fully assembled it uses 2 top of the line 6 inch woofers and a good tweeter with a 1st order butterworth crossover on the woofers and a 2nd order bessel on the tweeter, it has a slight peak around 2500hz but i think with tweaking i can get rid of that

it wont let me edit the main post, but the main benifits of staining over a box covering like carpet or suede 1. if you start with a nice wood, you will have a nice finish 2. it brings out the natural beauty if the wood 3. it can look much nicer than carpet 4. carpet absorbs sound waves lowering Db's 5. the wood will last longer and repel water

I would love to wall it but its so near death and the wire harness is so brittle the tiniest touch breaks a wire and you spend 3 hours fixing something that should be a 5 minute fix

I was having a good time with it, but then the boar went up in smoke and then 20minutes later my servers hard drive smoked too, today cost me just over 400dollars and 8tb of data

been a while since last update, i was just waiting on parts, but my pc fried the controller board, my fault for buying chinese, so i got a new one coming, but i managed to get this video in before it fried

i like them, no real complaints the midbass are Deep Rift bass 5.25's and the tweets are dayton

figured it out, damn tablet

lol thats actually me in the avatar, and i have also been told that when i was skinnier i looked like steve-o

staining finished

no this was designed by me, and i had the parts cut out on a cnc at a local cabinet shop, this is an organic design, that im still improving upon and ive actually been a member since 2009, lurking, and i have been a competitor since 2007 in SS3-4 with db scores of around 155-158 using atomic APXX 18's and atomic 5k's

started staining it today

yea i looked into the shop bots, the main principle behind mine is low cost, accuracy, and ability to duplicate itself out the door i will be selling these when its all done and tested will be around 1800-2k per fully assembled unit and im picking up a darker oil tomorrow to see how that looks too

poll time, top left is oil and stain, bottom left is oil only top right is plain wood, bottom right is stain only what do you all think?

the motor controllers and the linear motion rails should be here by next Wednesday, i cant wait to be up and cutting

10ft of total X travel

its 10 turns per inch, and the chain sprockets are 2.25 inches per turn the chains are tensioned and the idler sprockets are also on "brakes" so that they dont freely rotate im looking at about 1/32 inch accuracy as it stands now, but im hoping to cut that in half with some new parts coming this week

its a single start 1/2 inch acme screw, and im using a special designed anti backlash nut, and the idler sprockets on both the x and y axis are not 100% free motion, they are tensioned to reduce backlash

test fitting the gantry onto the table Y and Z motors installed and chains and acme screw linked up Z axis motor and assembly x axis motor and drive shafts Y axis drive sprockets and chain router mount, i need to trim the acme screw down X axis idler chains X axis drive sprocket

building the table
