Wardsweb Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 awesome. thx. Do you get "bare veneer" (w/o the preattached glue) and if so, what glue do you use? Titebond II ? Cement? jc I use http://www.veneersupplies.com/products/Better-Bond-Heat-Lock-Veneer-Glue.html You roll it on the structure and the veneer and let dry. Place the veneer where you want and reactivate the glue with an iron (don't tell my wife). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I was asked to show some of my other work. Here are my DIY main speakers veneered in sapele pommele and finished in a dozen coats of high gloss Deft lacquer. Absolutely phenomenal work! I'm not worthy. Tell us more about these beautiful creatures that you use for your mains, drivers, frequency response of the cabinet, listening impressions, plans, more pictures, we need more. Excellent work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsweb Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Where is your shop Luther? I've seen the picture of you electronics table but not where you do your woodwork. I'll bet it doesn't have a spec of dust! I have a large wood shed on a concrete slab and wired for power and lights in the back yard. I use it as my wood shop. I can't keep it clean because I don't have a dust vacuum system. It was broken into a few years ago. I had to replace all the hand tools, hand power tools, the drill press and clamps.

richieb Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I mean what can one say about not only the craftsmanship but the components in general. Really impressive on both counts, over the top. And a great sense of design. OK enough of gawking over these obvious skills - back to my third attempt at cutting a 2x4 square. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 ... I would love to learn veneer work from you on these Klipsch TSCM's of mine. Just get started, Roger. By the time you finish with all of them you should have it down pat. Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PITA I was always told, that for these reasons is why Norm never disclosed where the New Yankee Work shop is located.

Alas, it will only ever be a dream. There is a ton of money tied up in that shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon string Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 great stuff! I too would like to hear about what your mains consist of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsweb Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 My main speakers use JBL 2235H woofers, Altec 511B horns fitted with Altec 802-8G drivers with the tangerine phase plugs and JBL 077 tweeters. I run custom crossovers using vintage Jupiter flat stacked capacitors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Very nice work. A good veneer job can certainly take an ordinary project to a whole different level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
