robola 46 Posted December 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 When I bought a new stereo for my workshop, I immediately knew the boxes that cames wit hit, would be dead in an instant. But I had a nice set of Yamaha’s laying around here. But the brown cabinaets didn’t fit in the interior well. So I got the speakers out, measured them, and made new housings fort hem. I made these of 25ùù thick mdf, and covered it with a thin layer (1mm) of formica. After that I made a grill, and covered it again with black speaker fabric. These were the speakers that originally came with the hifi. Voila…finished. I just need a big plug to hang these on the wall. They are really heavy! So the speakers were finished, and then there came an exciting moment for me. How hard could I play music around here, without disturbing anyone? In my previous garage it frequently happened, the old lady from nextdoor started complaining. After the first listening-test, I had a big smile on my face. I could play it so hard I could, without anyone hearing anything. I took this in condideration when we ordered the windows. When you take 2 different thicknesses in terms of glass, it gives a better stop to sounds. Here are a few photos of a strange thing I made; I’ve been able to convince some friends that I’m making a jukebox next…and they believe it, haha Once it’s finished, you’ll see what I made it for… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robola 46 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 The biggest part of the aluminium profiles needed for my tables has been delivered. I think to finish my first table at the end of this week. It’s quite a puzzle to put everything together, and to make no mistakes. I’m planning 8 sockets fort his table. And I’ve already modified them Soon the first table will be ready, and I’ll need a forklift to set it straight. Although it’s made of aluminium, it’ll still be heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robola 46 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 About a month ago, I told you guys I was going to make my last table. Because not all parts had been delivered yet, I made a smaller one first. The penultimate table This one is 200x64cm, and completely made out of aluminium. What I’m going to use this for, I will tell you later. There’s still too much in my head of things that aren’t on point yet. In the background you can also see that I divided the garage in 2 by descending the roller curtain. We’ve managed to blend this in in a very nice way, and I’m very happy with the result. About the aluminium part, I immediately thought that I could screw this into each other quickly…forget it. The first problem was that I could not mount the supplied wheel directly under the legs (8x8cm). So I makde 4 plates out of 12mm thick, and screwed these underneath. I had to laugh at the wheels that they had supplied me. They Looked very shoddy, but once everything was finished, they turned out perfectly. I provided the table with 2 boxes of 4 sockets. Then I put the uppermill in it, to make some room for the cables. Because I'm right handed, I’ve also put the outlets on the right side The advantage of this profile is that you can plug-in threaded screws (m4-5-6- everywhere you want, and move them anywhere you want. On this side I added some more of those things. On the other side I would like to mount a folding machine (pleating machine). How I'm going to do this, and make this, I haven’t even thought about. I also do not know the ins and outs of how to make a folding machine, but maybe my friend Goole will know…Or maybe there are people here who can give me some tips and tricks? You can also see that I've tapped screwthread into the holes on the top plate. (m8) On the top, I can tighten whatever I want, where ever I want. So far the table. What's going on behind the curtain at the workshop, is not quite finished. Not that much to do anymore, but when you want perfection, it just demands you put a lot of time in it. The YAMAHA speakers also heve been suspended from the ceiling. Onto a certain height, I placed some Volkern (trespa- plates of 6mm thick. I certainly wanted this material. It’s superstrong, and you can wash this quite easily. Once I had the plates, I thought "I'm going to stick against the wall with tec 7 in a couple of minutes” Forget it. You should not glue this material directly against the wall. If you do this right may warp over time. Now, if you know what it costs, you should not take the risk. So I first glued some 2cm strips against the wall. Then I sprayed a loooooooooooot of cans Tec7 on the wall, mounted the Trespa, and then clamped it tight.
