Hi Paul Hilgerman, I've downloaded your pictures and will get them into the gallery as soon as I have the time. Thanks.

UPDATE

JasonL, the problem that you had was to do with another server, not mine, being a little finicky over external links to files it is hosting. I have overcome that by hosting the pictures on my web space.

Paul Hilgeman and PinkMouse, your pictures are now in the gallery and thanks for your contributions.

There must be some more candidates including one chap who I would think was a mandatory inclusion in such a shop wiindow

In case (and I repeat, just in case) you were talking about me, feel free to use any of those pics in your gallery:

Nuuk,

I looked at your nice website

and I san a picture of your first loudspeakers (the 5 sides ones). You wrote that they were made from 22mm MDF, and veenered. But on the photo, there seem to be rounded edged. How did you manage to veener the cabinets, with the edges (the vertical ones and the horizontal ones, if my vision is good) rounded?

Please excuse me for the off topic

Thanks Peter, that will give me something to do this evening apart from listening to my just-finished valve preamp. :nod:

Hi Bricolo, I used solid wood around the top of the speaker with the veneer set into that. Don't remind me of all that work please :bawling:

I sold the cabinets for 25UKP

Bricolo · 2003-07-02 6:13 pm

Do you mean that the top wood plate is made of rounded solid wood?

Sold to a couple in Bristol Matt! You lot drive a hard bargain

No, just the edges were formed by five pieces of wood. I inset some plywood into the recess and put veneer on top of the plywood.

Either my english is bad, or I'm dumb... (it's also late, here)

but I don't understand how you did this.
when you'll have some time, would you explain it with a basic drawing?

thanks

Nuuk · 2003-07-02 10:23 pm

Sure Bricolo, when I have some time

Nuuk · 2003-07-03 11:57 am

Hi Bricolo,

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Five pieces of wood are placed on the top of the speaker body as shown. The 'hole' is filled with a layer of thin MDF/plywood. The veneeer goes on top of that. The wood is then routed to give it a round edge and then the top is sanded level.

3 for the gallery

from left to right, the "Double Clone" using the LM1876 -- two channels for a PC, center Cone using a hefty power adapter, left Clone using a 0.100" molex connector for power. All the PCB's are dipped and dunked here. I use a pair of 0.47 ohm resistors in parallel on the output -- since I bought a ton of them for next to nothing.

they all sound great.

Nuuk · 2003-07-04 8:41 pm

Jackinnj, can I just clarify the Clone on the left is a two channel model. The other two Clones are single channel for a PC.

jackinnj · 2003-07-05 3:55 am

yes, the one on the left is two channels, without the heatsink.

Nuuk · 2003-07-05 12:11 pm

Thanks Jack. If you want your full name on the gallery page please let me know what it is, either here, or through the contact form on Decibel Dungeon

Peter Daniel · 2003-07-05 6:55 pm

Here's a nice pic I made today. You might put in the gallery as well
