RandyH000 6005 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I state in my ad it’s a WTB, need someone to make Cornwall grills for my 83’s, as the originals have deteriorated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom1066 19 Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/98877-how-to-new-grills-grill-cloth-etc/ Unfortunately the pics in the first half of the thread are missing but there are pics later on, that may help in piecing together how this technique works. I have been meaning to get around to trying to build the cloth clamps he describes and giving it a try. Edited August 21, 2020 by tom1066 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
