travisc Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 bs what method are you using to cut the holes for the drivers? It looks great, I have a pair of 77's, I am waiting for the funds to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Button Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 When the faces are applied, I will take them to a friend whose router will do the trick. This weekend, hopefully. He say's it's no problem and he's got a pair of Heresy's and tubes, so he knows how ticky I'll be. I can't believe how good they're turning out.

travisc Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I was pricing veneer at local shops. Damn!! they want $160 for a 4x8 of zebra wood. was a single 4x8 enough? I am currently building a mahogany granite rack. There is a granite shop in the building next to mine and they finally started cutting my pieces today. once that project is done and paid for the heresy will be next.

BS Button Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Yes, one sheet of 4 x 8 will be more than enough, as I bought 3/4ths of a full sheet, Walnut. I would not recommend anything but a backed veneer at this point. You'll kind of learn as you go.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Gee, I am just looking at my Heresy right now. The bug may have just bitten me too (as soon as I finish installing my kitchen cabinets etc). It sounds like you are going to veneer the front face. My question is how are you going to cut the material since the front is slightly recessed? Are you going to let the grill cloth hide any gaps or is it possible to get the material in tight and then slice it with a blade? I am curious about the technique. Anyway it looks they are coming along nicely. With some finish on them they will be fantastic! Good Luck, -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Button Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Tom, These are decorators, so the faces are not recessed and there was no grill or cloth covering the drivers, thus it's just another lap of veneer. The glue has set up, so I'm going to get the iron on it, right now... I've got new Klipsch badges in both the pie wedge 2 pair and also the straight bar type.

thumperxes Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 what kind of backing is on the veneer or are u using just raw peices of veneer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Button Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 One of the better paper backed variety, so I'm told. It's worked real well with the iron on method. I think applying the glue properly and using enough heat and pressure is the key, but I'm still learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumperxes Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 if it was raw veneer i have acess to just the raw veneer im sitting on figured aniger and zebra wood and a lithe sycamore and acess to a lots of cherry but its just plain veneer no backing kinda like a raw book of wood dont know if many ppl are interested in the raw unbacked veneer for a good deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Button Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Try Greg928s4, He prefers the unbacked variety, but then he's got a boat load of experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 thumperxes, how big are the pieces you have? I'm looking at building a pair of Corns. I've used the unbacked type in the past with the iron-on method, was happy with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Todd, are you going to mask off the veneer and spray the interiors and cutout edges nice and black before you put the guts in? Please make sure to use beautious black screws as they will be showing on the final project. 5-way binding posts? 3/4" back rabbeted? (is your original the resonant 3/8" board? (these are just some of the niceties I've seen in remodeled Heresies) Then bring them round to my place and sell them to me okay?
