Mdf and huge magnets. Not going to get blown over by the wind that's for sure!

How heavy are they?

If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down.

JonB67 I have no idear. Must be pushing 40kg. I can get them in the van by myself.
The reason I use MDF is that birch ply is 135quid a sheet here plus tax and postage. Not vaiable. I made them chunky on purpose. Very glad I did those labs pound the box.
So, made the beech dowel to fill the screw holes. May be of interest to somebody. One time walk away sand once. Makes sense to me.

I suspected they'd be pretty weighty. I have to lug mine upstairs and i wouldn't fancy that on my own.

Your build is tidy though, and they look great! Loving the dowels.

Bob they are nice saws that one is a flush trim 'kuggihiki' so the teeth have no set. I must admit that I had real trouble with them at first. Now I really get it and love them. The double one is called a 'ryoba' rip and cross cut. Watch the teeth they are very brittle. The other one is maybe a 'dozuki'.
Shortrope thank you. I really wanted to see the pics of your last build but couldn't quite sad about that.

JonB I doubt that I could lug them down the stairs by myself. This being Japan there is always someone to help. Nice people.

If you forget to high pass, that might do it but you'd still need to get very unlucky with some unusual music that decides to blast some 20-25Hz tones at maximum amplitude. Even with 1500w input to the box, the excursion of the Lab at 25Hz is 25mm.



Careless needledrop could do that as well..... I bought an ecler nuo2, that doesnt seem to have a low pass filter or at least not a very steep one. Needledrops make my cones jump literally. Didnt have that problem with my previous mixers


Sorry to thread hijack (Great and interesting thread by the way Doller and Hemisphere, thankyou). I've got a Nuo2 DJ mixer and I love it. It has a properly big powersupply on it so the levels it can do are brilliant for providing a decent signal to the rack. Two points: low end filtering should be done in the rack and also make sure you do the mod to get the high output from the mixer.

All finished ready to go out tomorrow.
The two things that I still haven't found here are someone to make the grills. The other is paint. No Warnex or Tough Cab. I used frp resin with toner. Looks OK but not really scatch resistant. So Making do. I have been searching for 5 years for paint. Really no one sells it here. Found one site but it was like 10 times the prie. Big gap in the market for someone. I know other people want it.

Wow. They look great! Did you bolt the front edging on separately? It's a neat touch.

I've been using a 2k Polyurethane with a matting agent added.
That must be available no?
With a basic pressure pot rig you can get a really good Spatter finish.
