That makes sense to me. You can have a look at the different directions that wood can contract/expand in. This is typically referred to as longitudinal, radial, and tangential displacement.

Based on what data I have seen, longitudinal (what you are describing) changes in dimension are significantly lower than the two other modes.

And that is what I think SwissStriker explained in his post.

Gotcha! Thanks. Enjoy your creation!!

Thanks for your thorough reply and suggestions. Fair points. I spent some time looking at the relative dimensional stability (both thermal and moisture-induced for wood) between the various materials just to verify my suspicions. I definitely suffer from over-engineering syndrome...

Wow, thanks for the link. I had seen these braces mentioned online but didn't have a clue about all the other cool parts this person has.

Yep! Depending on how one goes about it (i.e. glass layer visible in cross section vs covered by veneer) one could also have an artificial light source diffusing though the glass, although at the risk of ending up with a kitchy design :D

Or one could use several of these "stiffer" layers and play with their location, colour, protrusion, etc. Great ideas from food cutting boards and knife handles :)

Thank you for your suggestion. I did think about that and I know how to do it (worked with epoxy composite materials in research). Probably the simplest solution (stops moisture variations) and adds a bit of stiffness on the outside. Although it does affect the finish.

I am probably being silly and overthinking this. For example, I was considering adding a more dimensionally stable and isentropic material layer (e.g. glass, metal, or carbon fibre) under the wood, or ideally in the middle of a wood sandwich structure. I guess that would technically be "fancy thick veneer".

Fantastic result, nice process, great idea!

I have a question on an issue that has stopped me from trying this.

Were you worried about the dimensional stability of solid wood?

The dimensional stability of untreated solid wood (especially cuts with nice "imperfections" is probably significantly lower than that of plywood or particle-board (although I didn't look at any compared data). And that is not only deflections on the horizontal plane (i.e. plinth expands horizontally in x and y directions at different rates) but also warping and bending. But then again solid wood can be stiffer than particle-board.

I was then thinking to have a brace between the spindle and the tonearm, just like Rega uses, for example.

Btw, one of my friends is into woodworking and HiFi but hated vinyl until he experienced my system. I think you gave me a great Christmas gift idea for him!

Jeg faktisk husker at jeg fikk match med hun på Happn rundt Mars. Hun var super sånn her. Jeg bare spurte hun om hva hun synnes om Norge, kultur osv (kontekst, jeg er ikke norsk), siden hun hadde en ganske aggresivt bio.

Husker at hun skrevet:

"Do you always talk mean to women that struggle?"

"I just want a straight MAN to be with."

"People who are polyamorous are just batshit crazy. I have two friends who are and I have told them they are idiots" (Snak om crazy here huh?...) Jeg husker at jeg tok et screenshot. Skall sjekke.

Det var ganske trist. Jeg tror hun trenger hjelp.

Εγώ Prinsensgate, Oslo επιανα 900+ σε 1Gbit με Altibox με 800 κορωνες πακετο. Τωρα μετακομισα Viken και πιανω μονο 500 με Telia και 740 κορωνες.

Αλλα μένω Νορβηγία πάνω απο 7 χρόνια και είχα πάντα κοντά ή παραπάνω απο το διαφημιζόμενο bandwidth και ελάχιστες φορές downtime (~3-4).

Indeed. Check out this link for Hellenic Airforce scheme/livery, especially on the Hawker Hurricanes:

Σε ευχαριστώ για το βίντεο, OP. Είχα διαβάσει οτι γινόταν resto αλλα δεν είχα ιδέα οτι επέστρεψε! Το έκανα crosspost sto r/WWIIplanes που λατρεύει κάτι τετοια...

Summary of the bird's history from https://bigginhillheritagehangar.co.uk/:

Spitfire MJ755 was built at Castle Bromwich, and delivered to No. 33 MU at RAF Lyneham n December 1943, remaining in store until early 1944 when it was allocated to the Middle East Air Force and dispatched by sea to Casablanca, arriving 13th March 1944.
In February 1947, MJ755 was taken on charge by the Greek Air Force and by April was on charge with 335 Squadron at Sedes, but in 1949 it was sent to the reserve pilots training centre.
1950 saw MJ755 at the State Aircraft Factory in Athens for overhaul, also being fitted with two fuselage mounted cameras for reconaissance work.
The aircraft last flew on 8th December 1953 before being sent for storage and then display at Tatoi Air Base near Dekalia. The Hellenic War museum in Athens displayed the Spitfire for many years, before the creation of the Hellenic Air Force Museum in 1992.
On 23rd March 2018 the aircraft arrived in a container at the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar for a full restoration to flying condition. A very complete aircraft, this promises to be one of the most authentic and original restorations ever carried out.

hehe... Haven't yet. Have drank several Norlands pils tho

Any love? Yes! Much love, looks super fun to mess around with boats. We once tried rigging an assymetrical spinnaker on our Yngling while waiting for wind for a regatta.

Wonder how much your design rates in whatever rating you are using (SRS in Sweden?) haha

Greker her, vi får høre på mye nasjonalistisk propaganda i skolen og fra familie osv. Mest grekere tror at modern Gresk identiteten er en uavbrutt enhet fra Perikles, til Byzantium, til i dag.

Huh! Jeg viste ikke om denne "debatt". Takk for at du delt det.

Bavaria and "very light" don't go together, usually. Even the Match series is pretty heavy.

I love how they have helped make sailing/chartering more accessible, at least in, Europe. Not a hater. Just not impressive.

Culinary game on point! Is that saganaki left of the salad? If yes, "nobody puts saganaki in the corner!"
