Mark, Your veneer looks really nice, I can't wait to see the finished product. BTW, the foam in one of your pictures reminds me of the old JBL L100 speaker grills that I drooled over a few decades ago.

Hi Leroy, I PM'ed you with a couple of links for some projector bulb information and on a the Lightolier PLC compose stuff. I was sure if it was appropriate to post links in this forum.

Hank, 3:00 - 4:00 on Sunday sounds good. Be warned, everything is a mess. Mark, Give me a call if you need directions. BTW, just to level set you, I'm still learning the speaker building hobby, and am certainly not the craftsman Hank is, but I'd be glad to show you what I have. Rich

Mark, Sunday afternoon will work great. I'll PM you with my address and phone. Hank, I'll PM you as well, since it's been a while since you've been here. I'll give everyone fair warning.. We've been working on our garden shed, so garage and the backyard are a bit of a mess. The speakers...

Mark, Glad to hear about the MRI. They have come a long way, in fact, my orthopaedic surgeon has one in his office. I've only ordered one other veneer from Tape-Ease (Rosewood), but I was very happy with that one as well. The towers I'm working on were from SCH (which is now out of...

Hi Mark, I got the veneer over the internet from Tape-Ease, and you are correct, it's not cheap. I used the 10 mil paper backed flavor. Just let me know the next time you're in town. They may not be finished, but you can at least see them in some semi-finished state. There is a place just...

Mark, Keep us posted on your progress on the sub. I have 2 sub projects in the queue after I finish my towers (just veneered them this weekend (Sapele Pommele, nice veneer)). Good luck on your MRI. We should get together and swap lies about speaker building (and bad knees). :-) Good Luck. Rich

Chad, Unfortunately, my timing is bad, my son has my jigsaw, and he's in Wimberley, so I can't just pick it up on the way to the meet tomorrow. I have a DeWalt jigsaw, and am very pleased with it. Not sure how it stacks up to the Bosch, but it certainly works for me. I'd be interested in...

Chad, Thanks for offer, I can certainly be a "gofer" for you while I watch, I mean "assist". How are you fixed for tools? If you need anything, let me know and I'll see what I can bring. What time does the fun begin? Rich

Jay, I have a 1" flush trim bit with a 1/4" shank you guys can use. Unfortunately, my jig saw is at my son's house in Wimberley, so I guess we're out of luck on the jig saw. If push comes to shove, I do have a reciprocating saw, however, that's a pretty crude way to go. I also have a couple...

Mike, I have been happy with my "old" projector, so replacing the lamp ($450 in my case) is probably a reasonable thing to do for me. However, I also have a case of upgradeitis, so you never know. I still have about 400+ more hours to go, so I may start looking "just for fun". Hank, I...

Hank, Thank you for hosting the meet. I had a great time, and as always, it was a learning experience for me. Although I'm not in the market for a projector, I do need to start thinking about replacing the lamp in my projector. Hmmm... expensive lamp or new projector... Hmmm Thanks again...

Hank, I have an Inday external 4x1 Component Video switch I can bring if you like. Let me know if you think it will be useful Rich

Hank, I'm planning to be there tomorrow, however, I'm probably the only person in Austin who hasn't been to your place, so I'd appreciate a PM with directions or an address. I can bring a very low end DVD player (Denon 900) if you still need one. I'm also available to come over early to help...

Hank, I would like to attend the PJ shootout on the 12th, so please count me in. Let me know if you need any help setting up. Thanks. Rich

Hi Mark, I have Shop Fox Mobile bases on my cabinet saw, bandsaw, and jointer, and they seem to work fine. They are a pain to put together, but they're very stable. I believe Fine Woodworking did a review of mobile bases a while back, I can try to dig out the article if you're interested. If...

Scott, I'd be more than happy to offer my Rotel 1066 for a shootout, although I'm not sure it's in the same class as the others, but it would be fun. I also seem to recall a potential meet to discuss HT-PC's (then again, my memory isn't what is used to be), which I think would also be a lot of...

I don't have golden ears, but I would like to be added to the waiting list for the blind tests. I would definitely like to attend the open house portion of meet. Thanks. - Rich

I'd like to add my thanks to those who hosted and organized this event, I had a great time. This was my second HT tour, I always learn something at each stop, which has unfortunately, given me a severe case of upgrade-itis. Once again, thank you. - Rich

If there's room, I'd like to come. Thanks, Rich

If there's room, I'd like to come. Thanks, Rich

Hank, - I have a 100 inch 16x9 screen. Are you splitting your winnings?

Scott, I understand completely, I just wanted to let you know that I was interested, should the situation change. - Rich

I'd like to put my name on the waiting list, if I can. I guess I deserve it for being late to the party. Thanks. -- Rich

I should be able to make May 8th, so it looks like I'm in. I'd be happy to offer my garage "shop" for the construction projects, if you need it. Rich

Hank, I won't be available on 4/24 and 5/1, after that I'm available, until mid June. I would certainly like to attend, but I know that everyone has a busy schedule, so it will be difficult to find a day when everyone can make it. So if the 24th works for everyone else, please don't change it...

I agree with Chad and Frederick on the tour/DIY project(s), I think that would be a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I can't make the 24th, so I hope we have a designated photographer that can document the tour. Rich

Hank, Those speakers look great. I was thinking about using Rosewood for my next set of speakers. The mesquite speakers I built for my son turned out OK, but they were a lot of work. Probably more than I want to do for a pair of speakers for myself. I may hit you up for some advice on the...

Hank, I'm interested in the information on SCH (I think I might have an idea, but it's only a guess). I'm also interested in the mod you made on for the HF Soundwerks version. I already have all of the SCH drivers and crossovers, but I haven't started the cabintes yet. If you get a chance, drop...

Dr. T I use the cheapo mono miniplugs from Radio Shack for my 12 volt triggering. Not fancy, but it works. Jeff, You are welcome to come over and use my tools for you next speaker project if you wish. I live really close to you, so if might be worth your time. Just let me know if...
