    That’s the new release for 2024 

     

    P.S. We have a suburb named Newmarket here in Brisbane Australia and it’s about 5 suburbs away from me 🤘

    What glue is recommended for adding bracing without screws?


    A clear / transparent waterproof wood glue will do the job 

    You want a glue that won’t change colour with age 

     

  5. A couple of songs from a British band from the late sixties 

     

    This one was produced by George Harrison 

     


    This one was produced by Paul McCartney

    I have a pair of '90s La Scala's with TYPE AL-3 crossovers. Unfortunately, one of the crossover's is going bad. The sound cuts in and out sometimes and to fix this, I fiddle around with the capacitors and wires and this seems to fix the issue. There doesn't appear to be any loose wires or leaking capacitors too.

     

    If I recall, I used to have a pair of '90s with AA crossovers and I prefer that sound. Crites have 3 different AA crossover's - Copper, Silver, Gold. Are the Gold's worth the significant price increase from the Copper's $540 to the Gold's $820?

    Thanks! 


     

    I think you have a dry solder joint -

    1) So that is the first thing to check 

    2) unscrew and clean all connection points as metal will tarnish over time and the connection is not ideal 

    3) If you want to replace the capacitors - Use Jantzen

    Happy New Year to everyone!  Hopefully, it's better than 2024.  :)

     

    @Full Range thought you'd lbe headed to the Opry House in Syd for the festivities tonight.  Bit of a haul for sure though.  Slow down and grind until ya can't take it anymore werkin.  Times I thought I retired to early but in retrospect I was tired of it all.  Guess I just don't play games well.  That was 20 years ago and it's still all about the money.   :)

     

    @MicroMara Some nice plays there brother.  I STILL think you need another tone arm or two.  Gotta get outta that box.    😂

     

    @AndreG. some nice tunes on that Parson's lp  Good job brother!

    Maybe Barry White will help

  9. As I have noted in the past that this time of year is my busiest 

    Working my regular service and more tasks on top of that 

     

    That means that I’m working my butt off for now and will finish mid January 

    Retirement is looking more of a reality now than at any time in the past 

     

    Its New Year’s Eve here in Australia and wanted to wish everyone a happy, safe , music filled and prosperous New Year

    Preface:  I'm going to make a display box for an old family bible.  Wouldn't surprise me if it was 150 or more years old.  My understanding is my grandparents had it when my father was a child (and it was passed down to them).  My dad is now 95... I've got a swirl of ideas so this is me throwing some spagatti onto the walls to see if this is even viable.

     

    one idea is to insert a decorative (say, 1/4") brass rod so the "dot" would show against the (probably walnut).  Purely decorative.  Don't yet know where the rod might go....but I know I'll be routing the top/lid section.....which had me wondering.....

     

    Could one drill the hole, say, 1/2" deep, take a 9/16th's length of brass rod, set it in epoxy but now it's sitting a bit proud.  Could you THEN take the router and have the router trim the rod down flush with what/how ever you are routing?  (route the wood and brass together)

     

    Part of me says probably but you'll likely ruin your bit (wouldn't a carbide live through that?)  If it worked BUT ruined the bit, that might be an acceptable tradeoff as you can always buy another bit.

     

    Another part says it might bugger up the brass.  Probably won't leave it as clean as I'm picturing it in my mind.

     

    I'm thinking there are more reasons to NOT do it than to try.  But if my "creative side"  (HAHAHA  That's a joke!!!)

     

    Anyway, if I lean to wanting to do something like that, I'm wondering how well it might work or other issues.

     

     

     

     


     

    Depending on what denomination you follow 

    2 distinct but universal patterns for Christianity (apart from the cross) is the fish outline and a dove 

     

    I like the idea as mentioned above using mother of pearl as it will always stay true to colour and has been used for centuries as wood inlay 

     

    If you are not proficient in woodwork - my advice is to do the decoration of choice on a thin piece of wood and use adhesive to fix it to the box 

    It’s a tried and tested method  - see photo 

     

    This method allows for infinite mistakes as the box is not the working surface 😎

    @AndreG., Clarence is OK, but **** Springsteen. He's a good writer, but can't sing. Just like Sinatra.

    I get the feeling Bruce is one of those polarizing people; either one likes his singing or one "hates" it (kind of), like there´s hardly someone in between. I like him, and yes, I like the stories He´s telling too. I also know that a lot of His albums are not considered on par concerning recording and production. I don´t mind, but I don´t consider myself much of an audiophile... despite of all the stuff in my living-room 😜


     

    Same goes for Neil Young 

    But I’m going to say that his voice is unique as it lends itself to the music

    It’s Christmas Eve and the music room has been taken over by Christmas cheer

    ‘Actually I just hooked Alexa up today so we can have Christmas music tomorrow
