If anyone wants more detail then there...

Discussion doesn't constitute proof, but plywood is definitely advantageous for durability. My opinion is that performance/cost is greater for MDF.

Agree with the rest, but if you DIY and stick to stereo you can get something very good for that budget.

If I had $1000 to spend, I wouldn't be spending it on an HT system in the sense of 5.1. I would be spending my money on good stereo first, followed by subs if needed. If one felt the need I'd...

Haha, I use regularly macs as well, I just don't think there is any reason to be fanatical about them. My comment was simply that your post read so much like an advertisement it made me chuckle.

Fair enough, however if you rip with EAC (to ensure no errors) to FLAC (lossless) you won't loose any quality ripping to the computer, plus you get all the advantages that computer playback has to...

The sound quality would most likely be poor because the mp3s on it are of poor quality or because the EQ is turned on (which causes digital cliping).

The former issue is also relevance if you are...

There are plenty of elaborate solutions here, but what is wrong with an ipod or similar and a dock? Far less complicated, you can choose what you are playing on location, and take it with you...

Another consideration, I was doing some sound work for a theatre production. Myself and the audio gear (2 mixers and a couple of racks), was set up at the back of the audience at the Theatre Royal....

I can make a few points.

The racks are hard to get to, and it will be hard to see and adjust equipment when there isn't much light about.

The stuff on the left and right sides of the desk will...

Thinking outside the box for a moment, assuming the motor is the noisy component of the vacumm, Perhaps it would be cheaper to replace it with something quieter?

There is discussion in the...

I don't think foam is the best thing for sound proofing. Have a look at the master handbook of acoustics or similar for discussion on noise proofing of recording studios etc.

Make sure you clamp down the bit of wood when using the drill press, I took out a rather tidy chunk of my thumb when a 50mm forstner hooked on to a bit of MDF that I was holding on to. They look...

Did anyone else prefer it when powered tools was one forum, not split into four or so (not counting routers)?

If you don't need magnification, you can use a scrap piece of acrylic and score a line using a stanley knife.

Unless you have a sliding table, cutting sheets that big are too big to handle with accuracy imho. I use a circular saw jig with a square fence.

I wouldn't buy "grill cloth" you will pay a lot more for essentially the same thing.

The high frequency effects of most grill cloths don't really matter that much for guitar cabinets, as most have rolled off a fair bit by this point anyway (probably starts rolling off around 5k). So...

I basically followed Dr Joe D'Appolito's recommendations, The mic was placed around 2m, Further than he recommended, but i wanted to make sure i was in the far field. The mic was about 1cm from the...

I will one up you on that, do it, measure the things and show you it is the harmonic distortion that is directional, not the fundemental. When i have them out of their hole again (won't be for a few...

Don't be so quick to assume I don't have any live sound experiance. I have been behind the mixing desk for a large theatrical production, and a number of rock concerts. I have been involved in the...

What i have been reading is actually quite sound physics, have a look for yourself:

Not stuff made up...

You quite obviously have a limited understanding of simple physics, and you are making it sound like others have tried to talk sense into you before. Believe it or not, horn theory doesn't actually...

Heh, epic bump but, your only right about the horn subs, they were a design that suited what i wanted, I did play around with a few hornresp things and folded some stuff myself though, didn't...

bunged the drill press down to 270rpm, used a bit of kero for lube, cut very easily, it was only a 6mm hole, thanks. The new router plate is far superior to the old one.

I need to recess some pan head screws in an aluminium plate as i am replacing my plastic router table insert with an aluminium version (the plastic was crap and not flat). Can i drill into hte...

I am of the view that most monitor stands put the monitor far too high. By the look of it this one included. Great job on the construction though. I believe the top of the monitor should be just...

I have personally built a few hornloaded subwoofer designs. they do work well, but be aware that most reasonably sized designs are comprimised, unless used in groups of four or so (this does include...

I've got a CMT 80tooth high angle ATB fine melamine/crosscutting blade and i've cut lots of MDF, Hardwood and Aluminium without trouble with chipped teeth yet.

I use a 9 1/4in hitachi with a 60tooth irwin blade and a similar jig to crosscut panels with no problems.

Its not real relevant, but bleedin thumb, if you reverse that verse of stairway to heaven in your signature, you get satanic lyrics :o

I've got a 1/4in, 1400w black and decker, which works well for the jobs i ask of it. Handle design is fairly ergonomic and its laid out well. I also have a 2100w ryobi which works well for table use.

I'd say get a thicknesser first, there are jigs about (do a search) that will allow you to face joint timber using a thicknesser. Edge jointing can be achieved with jigs for table saws or circular...

I say buy what you need, when you need it for any given job, and a planer + thicknesser will save on timber costs.

has a summary of all the types etc, but basically it is a question of budget.

Bottoms aren't S bits as such, they are actually horn loaded, designed to be placed together as one unit, firing into the wall, what sort of hardware are you talking about? Why would you say horn...

I have no idea for the wire alloy, i changed the machine from steel to aluminium a few times and there was no clear marking on the wire reel. I will ask my teacher when we are back at school for you,...

Here is the PA System i built:

if by portability you just want to be able to move the saw out of the way to park the car etc, I'd personally go for a contractor style saw, with a mobile base on it. You'd end up with a much more...

Case mod isn't really on the books, i'm a bit of a diy hi-fi nut, so my computer is waaay over the back there somewhere (further away is quieter), so a casemod would never be seen i'm afraid, (I kind...

yep, their melamine and fine cutoff blade for example has 96 teeth.

Another happy CMT customer here, my 10in melamine/finecutoff blade is great!

My CMT melamine and fine cut off blade cuts the stuff without chips, i've only been through 10-15 sheets of MDF (but the last two were that stuff). No problems yet. I have heard the duct tape works,...

The fence isn't an issue as long as you push it forward, then it locks consistantly square. Dust extraction is good on my saw (it has a shroud right over the blade), but this does vary. With the...
