Coneheads without the cone

Camouflaged Gold bullion

Adding a deck onto the house

How often does the cleaner come in?

A trnsmission line sub pipe?

Looks like it might resemble Nelson Pass's big pipes?

Rabbitz has got it !

Yep, its a variant of "Conehead". Its going to end up as a 6ft tall tapered quaterwave pipe.. Using the Seas T17RE + tweeter

Whether I leave them as 12 sides, or find a way to smooth them down to circular has yet to be decided.
And they will eventually get a cap to suit and a "different" colour scheme

 

[rabbitz]

Woohoo.... what's the prize? I get a listen when they're finished hey.

Excellent stuff Andy,

Your sense of fun is admirable.

Keep up the interesting projects!

Here is a 3d render someone did a fair while ago. I tried to do it with a orizontal layered structure, but mdf is too weak parallel to its surface even with pins through it, one fell over and broke in half, so that was that :-(

Thing is, I rather like the Corinthian effect, so I may leave it as it is.
If I decide to smooth it to circular I will have to rig up something similar to a lathe. That does sound like a lot of work, but also a lot of fun !!! maybe a tad dangerous too
