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...

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...

Going back to the amp. I watch a guy on the tube and he has an amp dyno. Well yesterday he uploaded a video of a 15 inch cinema sub. He took the amp out and its identical to the one I was going to use. It said it was 150w (same) and although the two boards on it were oriented differently it was...

Yeah maybe one day I'll get a drill press.

BTW coming back to this? pilot holes dude. Get a drill bit stop (these) And just drill a 2mm hole right in the centre.

Edit. It has annoying connectors on the back (the amp). So I got these.

OK, so one monoblock. It is UK made by Cyrus (Mission). It will do 150w RMS into 8 ohm, and 240 into 4. Not sure I need more than 150 tbh but if I do I will look into dummy loads. It cost me 335 pounds. The going rate is 599. A hifi company I use had them used on sale for 399, then Ebay had a...

That's how they are all done now. They put them under the veneer. Im just hoping that MDF is not too heavy but I have an idea for that. Also, you know how I said that eventually I'd like a proper hifi mono block? Well I bought one lmao. Whenever I do something now at my age it's like I have...

OK so there is another tiny update. I have been looking into grills using magnets. I will need a few, as the frame will be quite heavy. Any way, I decided on 15mm magnets. The problem was how to put them into the wood. My plan is to fit them, use epoxy as a filler around any edges (so they...

I don't think any company actually makes products to not sell. It would be a bit daft really.

You may have dodged a bullet. Techmoan didn't like it so much.

This changes everything. OK so I have an amp for the sub. Complete and should all be working. However, at the beginning I did mention that at some point I wanted to get a proper monoblock. Like, a proper hifi one. The problem, as I explained it, was that the amp I do have out of the old...

I got quite scared a few days ago. I don't use my CNC often but I do use it at least twice a year for quite long jobs. I have been using a double sided tape called Kip Masking. I tried using other double sided tapes but they were too strong and actually damaged the MDF spoil board when removing...

The funny part of all of this is how bad the 200 CPUs were said to be. Funny because they are not bad by any means, they were just made by Intel. When Ryzen came out it wasn't even as good as what Intel were making. It was just cheaper, but tbh it wasn't even that which got them a foot in the...
