Hi from Jimboomba
Hi all. I am Simon from Jimboomba on the southern outskirts of Brisbane. I have had various hobbies over the years and all have involved using the hands to make stuff. My current hobby is anything to do with Hifi stuff. Building speakers, amplifiers and cables. Previous hobbies have been watchmaking and lapidary work. All have been great and have come back to one common denominator and that is building stuff with wood and dare I say it, MDF.
My current project the Tsunami speaker project which will involve some new things to learn such as laminating mdf, and plenty of curves. Thats where I hope the knowledgable people on these forums will help out. That project can be found over here "Tsunami" Speakers. New 3way build. - DIY Audio & Electronics - StereoNET Australia
Here is a pic of my watchmakers workbench I made when into the watchmaking hobby.
