Remind me, stuffing in the small front wedge ?

Wrap innards with felt ?

 

[Hondasnl]

Hi Norman first try I will stuff it according the drawing.
Maybe also some felt to the side panels.

 

[Hondasnl]

Today a very big step 👌 😍.
Now only the bevels remain.

Looking good! Careful when fitting the driver screws, they can easily be overtightened. Pilot holes are necessary.

What finish are you putting on these?

I don't remember if this was debate, but did anyone consider and/or check if Harley possibly ordered his driver with silver in the voice coil ?

 

[norman bates]

all i remember is square voice coil wire, took care of a "funny" when listening to some string instrument. mark fenlon seemed to know exactly what to do to fix the funny. Might have been in the hour interview with Harley

I think the mention of the square voice coil wire is in here somewhere (long video, harley is on past 30 minutes, no english transcript)

 

[Oneminde]

aah, that is right, square wire.

square wire

Pretty much the only difference between Alpair 5.2 and the Alpair 5.3

The residual wood does not go to waste. 👍 Beautiful and also especially for this a piece of end-grain wood, gives a nice effect and contrast 😍. Excessive wood will later go away flush with the adjacent panel 👌. Now let the glue dry and harden.

 

[Hondasnl]

MasterPieces 👌 ready for the finishing touch. I like the fingers. But first a break 😀.

 

[Hondasnl]

First layer of coating. Oh oh oh how I love color variation in wood 😍😍. This will get a bit warmer over time. But already a nice contrast 👌👌.

Excellent work...looking very nice... 🙂

 

[Hondasnl]

Next weekend further, now a break 🙂.

It's a stunner. I am really curious but the sound of that beauty.

 

[Hondasnl]

First I have to order some stuffing.

Damping Plan:



Self-adhesive felt or something like that...:



Long Hair Wool I have plenty here in house:

I look at it and say, given a guessed design not for the driver i hope they at least do an OK job.
