    OK so no post yesterday. No point I was just doing even more sodding painting !. So I got the toilet finished lmao. OK, dad joke but it does look like a bog a bit. Doubt it would hold my weight though lol. But yeah, I seriously misunderestimated (lmfao, good old George Bush) how much...

    Fill, sand, fill again, sand some more and then the first coat of satin white. Still some sanding to do on the second round. Sadly my skin condition is back with a vengeance. Which really sucks and is slowing me down badly :(

    So today I finished the roundovers. I then attached the port and the brace. These clamps are fantastic. And then started primer.

    The Fairchild Ghost subwoofer project

    OK so today I did the part I was dreading the most. First I mapped out the bolt holes for the acrylic, then centre punched. This was after clamping it to the part it will bolt onto. About two hours later. Took a bit to work out how much epoxy I should use on the threadserts. By the time I was...

    For Robbie.

    @robbiec PM me your address, name and a mobile number and I will get a quote. Note, you don't have to give a mobile number but it would be handy for you as they should text you when it is out for delivery.

    OK so finally feels like I am starting to get somewhere ! Before I go into that though I forgot to mention I grabbed this on PD for £21. I have a 5 way, but I am continually messing around pulling things in and out of it. I have flipped the "ears" and it will power the amp and all my...

    For Robbie.

    I think the board is A1 mate tbh. Its either the volume pot or the socket for the headphones. I've dug out a box so I'll ping again tomorrow.

    OK so got some done today. First up was the piece that the acrylic window panel will sit on. One corner needs some filing and it seems I lost mine, so I will do that when it arrives then paint. This is the brace. Roundover worked lovely. Again, sanded this and got it almost ready. Just need...

    For Robbie.

    OK so I have only just noticed the classified is gone :ROFLMAO: About two months ago I decided to use my Mojo has a Hi Fi DAC for my main system at home. As such I dug out my old headphone amp. Thing is I forgot why I had stopped using it. It has a oxidised volume pot. As such I took it all...

    OK so as you may have noticed it is hot. Like very, very hot. That slows me down quite a bit. I didn't realise that the reason why the work bench I got for £18 was so cheap until it arrived. It was in pretty much every piece it could be. This combined with worthless instructions had me taking it...

    Oh and hmmblah... After two days of looking at things like that that were apparently crap and fell to bits I finally found a more substantial one for use with the Forstner bits.

    OK so a slight snag yesterday. The plug does not fit in the magnet pole piece. Basically it has a slight taper. The butt plug fits into the backside (lmfao) perfectly but the end inside the coil is too small. I need to send it back (just the one piece) and get it trimmed. For that I had to order...

    Cleaning fans

    Please stop all this stupid daft talk about washing fans. Don't be so f***ing lazy. All you need is a brush and some of these. It takes less than a minute per fan and won't ruin your fans. By washing them water will get into the bearing and mess up any oil or lubricant that is in there. In...
