Now this guy is proud of his work. What a great piece of dovetailing all hand cut. Nice top lid with mortise and tenon with correct haunch very nice. Plus and its a big plus, its so nice to see traditional joinery skills made with traditional tradesmans tools. Not a throw away saw in sight, you...

Ok. Not heard of that one, I'm sure it goes down well on a Fri night with bag of chips. Oh - you say would have been, I take it its gone now. Lol Lesk

Hello Pete Have been running a small workshop with the Record 10x6 planer / thicknesser, Axminster cast iron router table and the Record 350 BS ( i think) bandsaw. All of the above work very well. Had a problem with Router table, cast iron bed was bowed. Axminster couldn't fix it so i had it...

Hi Frosties I have been using the Record 10 x 6 planer thicknesser for the past 6yrs and it gives a very clean cut. The sliding fence is of aluminiun so not 110% accurate (i added an 1" thick Oak guide and longer ) because of dismounting to do your thicknessing. Have done some accurate work...

Hi Andy As he's single and not much of a millstone around his neck (not like some of us) - yes thats all he has to do. Not sure about the funk stuff though, I'll ask him to dig some out and give it a blast. He's just got the James Blake album so its all that at moment. What beer was it???? Lesk

Brilliant, thank you Rod. Will post if i start them. Looking at starting Tannoy Autograph maybe autumn or winter. Regards Lesk

Just a re-post of Oak Leak. Hope its better online!!! Lesk

Yes mate , just the one. They are Tannoys and with the ducted horn it generates fantastic bass as well as mid and high. My son rang me to say that he had found an old church organ LP and wow the room was shaking with the low notes. Female singers are a dream to listen to. Lesk

No problem there mate.. He lives on his own. So when i go over its music beer,music beer and pub.. What a life.

Sorry Oak leaf blurred.. dam. Lesk

This is prior to the Westminster build. My wife and i were looking for a console table for ages... so decided to build my own. Also saw a guy demonstrate some inlay work, so tried the Oak leak. Very pleasing to do. Lesk I'm sure others have done the inlay a lot better but this is my first...

Thats a shame you didn't finish them Rod. Hopefully you might find the time to do that. I hope damp is not a problem in your garage (dont mean to be rude). Sounds like a different listening experience with the Acoustas. Still its just brilliant to just sit and listen to good quality sound...

Hi Rod Yes the sound is very good, my son is testing them at the moment. He tells me that they are a little bright but he can change the crossovers to lessen this. Your Acoustas speakers are an interesting design could that be a possible build? Bet they sound really good. Lesk

Many thanks. I do appreciate your comments. Lesk :D

Hi There. Yes i do like Hi fi but my son is the wis kid. I made these for him. He may have to find a bigger house. Have you listened to this type of speaker cabinet? they run on low wattage say 20watts. Its the clarity is wonderful. Regards Lesk

Many thanks for comment. The Drive units are Tannoy HPD 385s. with separate cross overs. Did a test today outside in the sun on my patio. What a sound....... they have to be damped yet and run in but boy beautiful image and depth. Placed them 4mts apart and stood back about 8mts, brilliant...

What a lovely well made beautiful project. I can see you are a true craftsman. Brilliant. Regards Lesk63

Hello again On final straight now will be finished this weekend. Its been about 34days and quite a challenge but worth it i think. Will be able to listen to then later today (Sat). Regards Lesk

Many thanks. Yes they are very big and very heavy about 120kg's. I'm building them for my son who lives on his own, he's the HI Fi wiz kid. We have got the one wired up and working,have to damp out certain parts but wow what a sound. Hope to get all finished this w/end. Sounds as if you got a...

Hi everyone Thought i would share my project with you. Other people have built these cabinets so i decided to build mine. They are large Westminster Royals speaker cabinet made from various thicknesses of veneered MDF. A complex internal design and an interesting external speaker exit throat...
