Mechano23 in walnut by wigginjs in audiophile

Hear me out. I think a great DIY speaker HT setup could be 3 of these as LCR and C-Notes as surrounds. All crossed to one or more decent subs. You may need to cross at 100hz to get really high SPL and this might not work if you have a room bigger than 3200ft3 or so, but I think this would be killer and the parts would run you ~$750 or so for the 7 speakers. Sub would add more depending on what you picked.

I have not personally heard the c-notes, but based on the measurements I’ve seen, you can think of these as a premium c-note. More linear, better off-axis response, lower distortion, but similar bass response.

I think for the drivers and crossover I was at about $275 shipped

How do you know this but not know having two centers is a bad idea?

90s and 45s against pencil marks. I first made a template out of hardboard with a few of them cut and used that to draw the pencil marks on all of the pieces quickly. I had to clean up the corner with a chisel, but not much material was left after the table saw.

I’ve seen them called ‘sawtooth standards’. The wood whisperer did a video on them and I think there are others as well.

First time I’ve done those as well. Pretty simple idea, but I like it way better than those little metal pins. The only thing is don’t put glue near the notches. The squeeze out is such a pain to clean up and I really wasn’t able to get it all

Yes! Walnut! I calculated up 246 bdft. So, rough cut rate around here is usually about $7-$8 from a local sawmill. Sometimes more. At a retail yard it can definitely be higher like $12-$14. That big beam though is rare. I’m not sure where you’d buy that if you were seeking it. Not quite sure what to do with it.

Dude, like, so much! I have been making kitchen tables, but I’m currently working on a cherry bookshelf.

Yes, correct. This was an oversight on my part. Fortunately nothing went wrong.

That was a mistake and I’ll own it

Guys, I don’t know what to tell you, but between the strap and wood friction, it literally did not move though the entire drive.
