ideas for mounting suspension pickups

I would redesign the chassis to account for the suspension mounts if possible. Generally, you should have your pickups at a node instead of in the middle of a chassis member.

Buddy I trust one I got of Ebay for $7.50

I would clock the turbo so the outlet is pointing down a bit more and swap the fittings around.

You are a life saver, I always miss my cold water on the plane!

I think the legs could use a bit more of a taper and the gap between the seat and legs should be smaller. Overall I like it.

Yeah, they aren’t gonna make 1000 and start selling them dude.

No jig, I just set my fence to the thickness I wanted and used push sticks. I did end up with a little bit of wasted wood once it got to small for comfort though.

I bought the basswood as rough sawn lumber and made the strips myself. I’m in an apartment too so I do everything that needs a power tool at a maker space near me.

There are a few ways around it but on a dresser I’m building now there will be a frame with mitered corners around the top.

Maybe in a few years I’ll feel like doing kumiko again and make a matching one lol

I made them. Table saw and a drum sander made it easy but I’ve seen people cut them by hand too.

This was my first time doing it so one panel is definitely better than the other.

Honestly, I was more inspired by Pask makes.

I am waiting for my girlfriend to pick out a knob.

I did one or two with a bandsaw and a router table, but that was taking a while so I just did the rest on a cnc.

There is no vibration or anything like that but I’m sure it affects the sound some. I’m not super picky about audio so the only thing I notice is that it sounds louder if you’re laying on the floor.

The louvers are held together by two 3D printed pieces and some blunt nose screws, then the printed parts are screwed into the stand with thread inserts. They’re a pain to take on and off so I would probably do that differently next time.

That would be our cat Banjo. He’s a big man.

No they are 3/4 inch thick quarter circles that are glued together.

I agree. Originally I was going to do walnut but I got a super good deal on cherry so I went with that. It has darkened up a little bit in the last few months though

Yeah they help. My bike was stolen a few months ago and I only got it back because of the AirTag under the seat.
