OO1 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 are you having problems making Cornwall grilles with lambswool-------if yes , there are a few members on the forum which may want to chime in and give advice --the key is stretching 2 sides at a time and stapling rather than gluing - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried twice and had ok success, but really need it to be as near production quality as possible. It’s possible with the right guidance I could do it, but frustrated enough to pay someone at this point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to also do either my Chorus or forte 2 to match for HT. Really wish I could get a super dope tutorial on how to get them perfect. Perhaps I failed because the material I was using wasn’t made for grills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been meaning to get around to trying to build the cloth clamps he describes and giving it a try.
