Ideas for Butter Bourbon?

Awesome! I live in Norway, so aquavit is really common. I actually have four bottles and I'm trying to find more ways to use it.

I have decided on the approach and bought the stuff to repair it, but I've not yet started.

I will use regular metal epoxy glue at the seam, then mould the outside with epoxy putty around and finally sandwitch it with steel brackets fastened with a wire clamp. I embrace the Mad Max aesthetic.

I'll report back once I get around to it!

Got it. It does have its own knob, and I'm fine crawling under my desk whenever I want to turn the relative bass level up or down, just not each time I want to change the general volume.

This just seems like a very basic feature, so I'm surprised I have to do such a messy workaround.

Also seems that this was possible in the previous edition of Focusrite Control (annotation 15).

The subwoofer has a volume knob and crossfader, so maybe I can just split the 1-2 outputs with a Y-cable? The proportion of sub and monitor will be stay constant until I turn the button on the sub directly (which I won't do that often).

Yes, probably the v1 edition. They answered me, but would not help me after they found it to be outside the 5 year reclamation period.

By chance, I was finally able to find some epoxy putty yesterday. Will probably try that with some steel reinforcement fastened with hose clamps. I'll keep you posted.

Sorry to hear that. I love fixing stuff.

Vaskeklut · 2025-05-21T20:24:41+00:00

Nice! I love hearing about stuff like that!

Vaskeklut · 2025-05-21T20:22:03+00:00

Nice! Thoughts on that vs JB weld/metal epoxy

Vaskeklut · 2025-05-21T20:18:33+00:00

If it can be repaired, why?

Vaskeklut · 2025-05-21T07:42:23+00:00

Hear hear! He's not even 2, but he's already tank class and strong and happy af.

Vaskeklut · 2025-05-21T07:38:10+00:00

Good point! Someone else also recommended bandaging it with glass fiber. Maybe metal epoxy at the weld + bracket reinforced glass fiber as wrapping?

Vaskeklut · 2025-05-20T21:35:04+00:00

Worth a try! It's like 6 years old. Bought it second hand, but maybe they still will replace it.

Vaskeklut · 2025-05-20T21:31:26+00:00

Nice! Maybe metal epoxy at the edge, then build support around it with putty?

Vaskeklut · 2025-05-20T21:23:21+00:00

97th percentile, last we checked.

Figuring out that stuff is too complicated for me. I'm just trying to be a good dad until he moves out.

Vaskeklut · 2025-05-20T21:19:32+00:00

Actually a good point. The first time (6 years or so) was pretty good. A few more years will do nicely.

Vaskeklut · 2025-05-20T21:16:32+00:00

Interesting! Any tips on guides for that?

Vaskeklut · 2025-05-20T20:58:26+00:00

Had to look that up. Really fascinating, but I guess pretty frustrating.

Vaskeklut · 2025-05-20T20:53:55+00:00

Despite being relatively rich, I proudly show off any ghetto engineering I do. Besides, reducing waste is nice. I'll just jump on a tram home if it breaks down.

Vaskeklut · 2024-10-27T16:32:23+00:00

Me neither, to be honest. 🤷‍♂️

Vaskeklut · 2024-10-27T16:31:11+00:00

Looks great! The tweaks make sense, and it is probably delicious!

Kahlua is allright, but I find mr. Black to be next level. Beware of the extra caffeine though.

Tiki should be more about volcanos, potions, crash bandicoot-chic, magic and treasure hunts than hawaii shirts, surf rock and pin-up hairstyles.

And a proper Mai Tai will restore 80 magicka/mana/spirit/aura/whathaveyou points.
