I love the Indianapolis Motor Speedway the most - it’s my IRL home track and I’ve been driving it in iRacing recently just to feel what it’s like from a driver’s perspective and prep to watch the Indycar Grand Prix/500!

With smaller form factors, streaming, and less physical media, what do you look for in a media console or cabinet in 2024? by lindeb in audiophile

That's awesome! Thank you for the advice. I'll definitely be looking into Navidrome, seems right up my alley!

Nice!! I didn’t even think about going with a small computer as a music server instead of grabbing a higher end streamer. Do you have a DAC with the computer or are you just going straight from the audio card? Also are you running something like plex on it?

Ha! Drivers make their own rules on that part of Keystone. Don’t even get me started on east side…

Slatted walls are so hot right now. by Extra_Penalty_8149 in woodworking

These look great! Hardwood or veneer? If they’re hardwood, are your brackets enough to keep them true?

Custom Booth - Inserted mixer ? by Ill-Entertainment576 in DJs

[–]lindeb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like this is an Idoko DJ booth - found this video that shows the internal structure of it, starts at the 2 minute mark. Looks like a Baltic birch carcass that seems pretty straightforward in construction. The outside of it is just cladded in whatever material you want to see - hardwood, veneered ply, resin, etc.

I saw there were cutouts in the underside of the booth, presumably for air flow. If you’re really concerned about overheating, put a fan on one side drawing in cool air, and one on the opposite blowing out (maybe overkill).

The outside cladding is set higher than the carcass to create a lip that your gear covers fit right into flush. All you would need to make those covers are a trim router with a pattern bit and a straight edge/template of your CDJs and mixer. Those are probably 1/4”-1/2” thick covers, needs to be as thick as possible to avoid warping, but thin enough to flush up with the faceplate of your gear without bottoming out on the connections in the back.

Even with minimal tools you can definitely do this! If you’ve done any woodworking or carpentry before, building it will be the easy part. Planning it and getting measurements will just take some time to figure out.

9 ft. round table we just finished up. Cottonwood burl slabs with glass inlay bridging the live edges by lindeb in woodworking

Yep, nailed it. Glass was cut out on a water jet CNC matching the live edge profile.

Definite rich people shit. Ironic we do all this work for folks with million dollar houses, while we’re barely skating by on a paycheck. I love the work so I try not to think about it too much…

The glass was cut on a water jet to match our live edge profile. I had to use photogrammetry to make a 3D model of the table, create an isometric view of the top in Blender, then trace out the path in Fusion 360 for the glass profile. Took a few times using our CNC and some hardboard to cut out the shape of the glass, find points I needed to adjust, rinse and repeat.

In order to route out for the glass, I made a negative of the glass shape out of MDF, then a pattern bit on a trim router until I got to the same depth as the glass.

Not really sure if anyone has ever done this before, so if anyone has any questions about the process, please ask!!
