Anyone Interested in vaneering??
Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I have a large pair of speakers that I want to get timber vaneered. I was wondering if anyone in the Melboune area that is good at vaneering, would be interested in doing it for me for a reasonable fee.
I tried vaneering many years ago and did not get the professional results I was hoping for. These speakers are very expensive vintage Tannoy's so I a really want them to come up professional.
As I said, I am happy to pay for a good job. Thanks.
Tony.

depends on what you call a reasonable fee
lets see , quality veneer not the pre glued stuff about 100, three hour labour to cut and fit and glue and clamp,
sanding another hour, refinishing another 4 hours
lets say 10 hours with picking up materials and removing and refitting fronts $600 plus veneer $100 ish
$700 the pair?

PS I cant do it cos I'm a city worker these days, but that would have been my ballpark quote.

not going to make an estimate until I see actual pictures of the speakers and what needs to be done to them, but Astrid's price is not unreasonable for a professional job. Depending on if the back was to be done or not, there is almost 4sq mtrs of veneer in there.
Lets see those pics.I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

No not at all
I dont think it is unreasonable at all. I havent had a chance to get the pictures up. The price is fine, its just, as always Originally Posted by martrix

Will let you know as soon as I decide.
