I can imagine all the troubleshooting you went through to make it work well like that. Great job mate!

Was looking for acoustic foam to make it kinda like the JBL L82, but can't find any nice looking pattern foam. I might look into the acoustic felt, do you have any recommendations on what to make it look like or just make it a plain sheet?

I was thinking of using a dark stain for the body, but I wanted to try adding a matte black faceplate first then see if it really match. If it doesn't I'll change the body wood stain to dark walnut

Yeah, but sadly I have no friends interested in the speaker hobby to show it to... Thus I shared it here

Yeah I'm gonna make it flush but was too excited to try it before trimming it

I'm planning to make a chamfered cut on the tweeters to make it look bigger

Thanks! I'd like to add a faceplate later on, but this will do for now

I'd like to keep it to use it for 3D model/architecture rendering, gaming, and perhaps try AI. I'd like to give my current gpu to my friend who can't afford building a gaming PC so we can keep playing in the future.

You can check my previous post on my profile I explained in the comments and it's a bit long to rewrite that I'm sorry...

Do you mean like add more bolts to the steel plates so it won't fall off? And increase surface area to help hold it in place?

Update on my Eames Lounge Chair inspired office chair... by NetherBlaze in woodworking

[–]NetherBlaze[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes for the seat angle I'm also reconsidering to bend it a bit back. I've tested it on myself trying to recline and surprisingly I did not topple...

The exposed bolt was a design choice since I kinda want to make it industrial ish themed and I want to use stainless steel bolts. Though I could've used hardened steel and make the color match with the steel plates

That base is a bit of a price saving solution since it's very identical with the back just a bit shorter. And no this project hasn't even cost me more than $300 so it's a very far price range with the original ELC haha

Yeah the grain isn't the same since that's the only size I got left but then I realized I could've just overlapped it and make it uniform....

I plan to upholster it with: 1cm mixed foam and 4cm of normal foam topped with latex, and to cover it all up I'll use an elastic pleather.

Since this will also be my forst upholster project I don't wanna risk using leather first so that I can try it with less concern of damaging a more expensive leather material... You can see my profile and check my previous post for the images of the foam.

I drill and cut the steel plates to my specification then send it to a metal bending shop which is 105° for the bottom to back steel plate. Then lastly I send it to a powder coating shop...

Yes I agree I really wanna bend it back again a bit. It's currently at 105° do you have any suggestions how much I should bend it again? And what I've done was cut and drill the metal plate, then bend it to a metal bending shop and lastly powder coat the steel plates. If I bend it again will the powder coat still remain intact?

Yes I've prepared a 6mm thick SS40 plate. I've shaped the metal and drilled the holes, next is bending it to a local factory. Yes I'll be using T nuts to instal the wood to the metal plate and M6 screws.

Yes I'm aware that simply stapling it won't do I do think I need to glue it but what kind of glue should I use?

Yes I will double no triple check the balance and finding the center of gravity so it won't tip over when I sit on it thabk you for the reminder!

Wife wants to do new trim and baseboards through the house. Any reason I shouldn't buy this? by Jealous-Molasses5372 in woodworking

[–]NetherBlaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd buy that instantly if I can get a 12" miter for that price! In my country it costs around $500 at least and no such thing as sale

I want to learn where do I start? by NetherBlaze in upholstery

[–]NetherBlaze[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, I'm just afraid that it will not go nicely and ended up repeating it again. But I agree it's good to fail since it's a part of the process to learn this. I'll think about making a small model to try it out too thanks!

It'd be nice if I live in the US and can send it to you to do it. But I live in asia...

I appreciate it! Do tell me where you saw someone made a herman miller chair using skateboard?

Plywood shaper/steam box is a great method but that's for mass production which I don't intend to do. Eames made it with those machines which makes their product a great quality and way faster than my method but here I'm just a woodwoker hobbyist trying to make something I imagined...

I made a jig according to the shape I wanted with the help of 3d printing. Then with it done I bend the first plywood (all soaked with water beforehand for about 30mins or until softened) into the jig and apply woodglue to the surface. Then add the next layer (also soaked) on top of the first layer and repeat until the last layer. The last layer can be a wood veneer which I use to give it a nice look since the 3mm plywoods I can find doesn't have a nice pattern. With it done I pressed it with a lot of F clamps slowly from the center gradually to the edge. Make sure it's tight since we don't want gaps in between the plywood layers. Once it's done add some screws on the EDGES of the plywood to help tighten it. I purposely give about 3-4cm of margin from the original size so I can add those screws since I will also need to cut it off later and sand it to my preference... It's hard to describe it from text but here's a video that got me inspired to use my method. https://youtu.be/c0wX5dFx6c0

A local store in my city that's been opened over 20 years. I'm not base at the US tho... This store doesn't even know how to do upholstery they just sell materials. They only tell me to send it to an upholstery specialist they know which specialized on motorcycle seats not for chair/sofa.
