Loud & Low 8th Gen Civic - Time to say good bye to her.

Ok guys, so I took your advise and started working on the shop. I got A LOT done this weekend. It was a big weekend for me and got a Ton of shit off my plate. Friday night I worked after work to get some fans put up, an outlet ran for a refrigerator, and some lights removed, and a couple other things for my studio I work out at. In trade for some monthly membership. This has been looming for about a month. CHECK!

Saturday after sleeping in a bit from working till 2:30am the night before, I got up and finished the room 99.8%. I have to caulk and paint, but that's not going to happen for a while. So for now it's good. I also have to rehang my outdoor speakers with new brackets. That's it.

Sunday, I got a bunch of shit cleared out of the garage per the wife's request, although goodwill wouldn't take our couches (cause the dogs chewed them) so those have to go to the dump. But they're now out of the garage. CHECK!!

After that I went to Home Depot and did some materials shopping for the shop.

Materials run CHECK!!!

Picked up some electrical stuff, some framing stuff, some ply, and some template 1/4" mdf! Time to go do work.

So I cleaned out the one side of the shop.

Man I can't wait to get electrical in here. All I have now is that little fan which is laughing at the heat inside this thing. But that's later on down the line I guess.

So I got to work on framing the workbench lower half.

Then I decided to make a little change. I decided the compressor would be better served in the corner there instead of the middle of the back wall.

LIKE A GLOVVVVEEEE!!!

Time to deck it!

It was about this time, I looked out and saw some guy at the gate looking over! Was like what the fuuuuuuuuu? Not many people tall enough to just look over the gate. But he was holding a box. Hmmm who and what could this beeeeeeeeeee

I actually forgot that he was coming I got so wrapped up in my benches. It was Jon, headed down to LA hittin me up on the way. Made a couple changes to the plan. Decided to do away with the CCA, and get some OFC. But also decided that instead of making several runs to the back, I'll only do a pair of 2/0 OFC.

And since I was doing OFC for the runs, why not do OFC for the amps too.

So Jon was nice enough to drop this by on the way through town! Thanks Jon!!

Now back to building!

Finished up the bottom deck.

Time to get the top going. You can see the top ledger rail already up there. Leveled out and ready for service.

[killallblue]

Looking good man now finish lol

I have a question where did you get the hinges for the amps

[scooter99]

Got the top framed up.

Legs on and 45's on top.

Got the top deck on.

Rounded the corner, since it's by the door, so noone hits it, kids heads, shoulders, arms hips, whatever.

And a nice roundover to smooth out the edge.

So I know that wasn't audio related, so to speak, but it kind of is, cause this is going to help me with the build and being more organized and better equipped to do the build.

I still don't know what I'm going to do with the top. I have to remove the carpet on the other bench, cause the metal shavings from the drill press have completely done it in. Well not completely but I'll never get them out of it.

I'm thinking about resining it with the remaining 3M stuff I have. It should be good for this. Besides my US Composites order comes in on Friday. So that will go to the build. Then I'll probably just paint the benches.

I also got another piece today that I think is going to help boost the clarity of the build. Picturs and videos. Maybe get a few more people in here. But I won't hold my breath.

First off, WHAT THE FUCK UPS!!! THIS ISN'T A DAMN FOOTBALL TO PUNT AROUND! WAY TO TAKE CARE OF SHIT!!

Canon Power Shot SX160IS Digital Camera and a 16gb memory card

Now when i was looking at it on Amazon, I thought I saw it say it had 1080HD, but come to find out it's only 720HD. Well I guess it's better than nothing, but I was a little disappointed in that. However, I was not disappointed when I saw this in the description, " The camera also incorporates an electronic wind filter, which suppresses wind noise that can muffle or distort the sound." So I'm hoping that means that when I do get this thing up and running, I'll have nice clear video playing.

So that's really all the update. Tonight I'm going to go run some wire, and get some things done in the shop. Tomorrow night I'm going to try and take a break from all that and get back to sanding the amp rack. I know it's been sitting since last week, and I don't want to just take time up doing all shop stuff. So I'll do my best to stay on build updates as well.

Look for the Sky High CCA spools I have as well as some other stuff like fuse holders and ring terminals etc, to go in the classifieds.

Also still looking for those 100 likes on the facebook page. So hit that up and share it if you already like it, and get more people in so we can have this and more contests with it.

Let me know if you guys want to see pics of the finished room I was working on. I'm happy to post them up, in the build log only, but only if you guys care about seeing that.

More to come, with better clarity! Thanks for tuning in!

Looking good man now finish lol

I have a question where did you get the hinges for the amps

Do you mean the one i was playing with on ideas of lifting up the amps?

This one?

That's just a piano hinge. You can get them at Home Depot or Lowes or really any hardware store. They're usually hanging on the posts near the hinges and cabinet hardware. If we're talking about the same thing that is.

[killallblue]

Thats it thanks man I have a idea with it

[scooter99]

They really come in handy. (I said handy) LMAO! Sorry immature moment.

No really though, cause you can cut them and make em shorter, and they're very low profile etc. And not too expensive either.

Good luck!

[Purplehaze]

Nice.

Now you have some workspace for sure!

I'm jelly

[scooter99]

Wow! So I got a little work done.

Fist I had to check out the new camera! MAN IS THIS NICE!! These are pretty much the same pics I took last night, but these to me seem way clearer.

These two are the most impressive to me.

And this one I was about 20' away from it.

So obviously I have no sounds, so I can't tell what it's like with bass, but I like the pics so I think it's a keeper.

Onto what i did tonight.

Had an issue tonight with my compressor, it's not holding air and I can't figure out why. So that cut my night short. Kids were going to bed and so it was just time to wrap it up. Not a lot to show, but I got a lot done.

Here's a spot where the new piece is going to go.

And here's the piece. A nice large shelf unit. 7' tall, 4' wide, and 19" deep.

Still have a couple more shelves to put in it, and some other bracing etc, but it's good. I like the way it fits in there. Btw, don't look at the bowing shelf and top. I still have bracing going on them. They'll be straightened up .

So that's it. That's what I got done tonight. Tomorrow I'm not sure if ill get anything done or not. My issue now is the compressor. I could use the big one but it puts a big time strain on the electrical. Struggles. So I don't want to ruin anything. We'll see how I can do.

Goodnight. Thanks for tuning in!

Shit just got real. I want a shop lol. Your work is always so clean! Nice camera btw.
