Olympic Hammer Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I am up for that. Working with Ralph at Dura Crest and the 5 yards comes to over $140 with shipping cost ($30). Bought three yards two years ago and he just billed me, not sure what happend over there to change their policy. How much are yu looking for, and how would we split the terms?

Klipsch Fan #1 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Dylan, Do you still have some grill speaker cloth material? I have an old pair of Klipschorns that have the oem woven style fabric, one of the top panels needs to be replaced. 42" long x 14" wide. Have? Thanks.

Groomlakearea51 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 .... a wash (mineral spirits with a little colored oil based paint) Are you using a paint already "colored", or a paint with some "dye"? I'm interested in the various methods. I've tried a dye before and it works well, but I'm interested in an oil based paint "wash" experiment. Thanks//MWM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylanl Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Sry, been away for a while. I don't visit here very often anymore. I do have some black fabric left. Let me measure it. Email me at Artvandelay1@verizon.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 That will be nice to see. I don't recall anyone here doing them in oak before. My HIIs are black lacquer, and in good enough shape that I am leaving them as is for now. I am leaning toward cherry for another project though.

rjones5296 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Thanks, I thought about the veneer choice for quite a while, looking at some of the exotics, then cherry,walnut and oak. The oak is very fine grain, quarter sawn lite oak. Im contemplating either a satin poly, or just going with an oil finish. I need to give that some thought, the finish sand will be 400 grit, so they will be very smooth. Hopefully, I will have them done in a week or so.

rjones5296 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Guys After a few days working I have the Herseys done,the cabinets are in light quarter sawn oak. I did a true Tung oil finnish. The first 4 were 50/50 tung oil and turpentine the final coats were straight tung oil and hand rubbed out, the finnish is satin with a soft gloss. I have the original risers, but can't decide whether to use them or not. Now the last thing to do is fresh grille cloth and Klipsch emblems. The old gals look like new, they were well worth it.... Im running Fairchild 412/Rega RB300/Shure M97 or Thorens TD124/SME 3009/Denon DL103 Music Reference RM5 Leak Stereo 50 or Perreaux PMF 1150b sweet sweet sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
