Dude, post some of your own damn pics!
The SDA cable you made me is a work of art, and I'm super-stoked about the Digital Coax and Balanced IC's!
Thanks again, Paul!
Cheers,

I don't DIY audio stuff, but I do make things. Mainly paintings/drawings etc.
I also refinish furniture every now and then.
BTW, I make all my own stretchers for my paintings. Sometimes I enjoy getting those things perfect more than I do making the painting!

Thanks. That's one of my favs too. It's a beast at 8' x 8' x 4", and it's covered in all sorts of s#$t up to an inch thick in places. It weighs about 200lbs.

Thanks guys! That was back when I was in high school and had access to some decent tools! Was probably... 16-17
Ufortunately no more decent tools!- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
Designed and built the cabinets and crossovers. A friend's body shop painted the cabs.
PE cabinets, made the driver cutouts, designed and built the crossovers.

Understand this: When most people make something from scratch, no one ever gets to see it!
It sits, it rots, and no one ever gets to see it!
For me?
When I make a cable for someone, it is just them and me.
It goes into the back of a system, and me and the cable owner are the only two people to get to see it!
EVER!
That is a weird thing to me, and knowing that, I know alot of other people have made things that has not ever been seen by other people/members.
Nows your time!!!!!!
Lets see it!Testing

They are getting so close I can almost hear them sing! ETA to completion is November 15th. The transformers barely make it inside the cover. If I was off the marke by even 1/8th of an inch, I would be making new covers right now.
