The urge to build...
« on: 9 Jul 2007, 12:45 am »
Hey!

   So, are you guys like me as a DIYer. :D Sometime there is that urge to build something. Not that you really need it but just do it for fun and satisfaction?

   Today, I went to Home Depot looking for a window fan unit. I couldn't find it. But when I walk passed by the Lumber  section I saw those pine boards and I thought "Hmmm... I do have some 3" drivers in the closet. Those pine boards will make a nice cabs for a pair of those drivers"   :roll:

   So, I came home with pine boards and I do need to go back to buy a bit more to complete the cabs.  :duh:

    Well, not that I do need more speakers.  :icon_lol: I do have 3 pairs now, one big main and 2 smaller of which are the same design. And I'm very happy with my main speaker right now.   :D

    Maybe I have to visit the "Trading Post" circle soon. Anyone need a small speaker for small TV/Second system. :wink:

   So, are you DIYers like me? Having urge to build thing just because? And to get some satisfaction out of it?

Take care,
Buddy :thumb:

If I'm not building (or designing) something there is a better than even chance that I'm sick. :) I seem to always have a half dozen projects rattling around in my head. I made buttons and machined a front panel for a preamp project today. Not that I need this but....

I did some final sanding and applied a first rub of tung oil to my Maple amp stands!  Still waiting on a zener diode for my Aikido's ps  :(    Tomorrow, I'm sure it'll show up tomorrow  :lol:

Nah, get some 15" drivers in a array paired with Class D amps and let it rip! 

No need no stinking fan with that going :thumb:

Building/designing stuff for no good reason has lead many of us the idea we can build this stuff and sell it.

As long as it stays a hobby, you'll be ok. If not, don't say I didn't warn you.
