OK so I won't lie that was a piggin ball ache. I broke two 0.8mm bits, and even after slowing the feed rate it still snapped. So I upped it to a 1.5, hoping this did not get me a punch in the face from my mum. For context larger bits = 10 times louder per .mm. OK so bloody finally after 3 set...

Dude, my friend in Dorset is a camera collector. Like, he has it bad lol.

OK so today did not go as planned. My arthritis was awful and so I did not want to operate the router. I still got loads done, though. First I deburred every screw hole on the cabinet, then put in the first round of filler. And then set up the drill press. I can now use it with an indicator...

OK, back. And build ! I used blue loctite in the end. Get out the 5 minute epoxy, and. Then just a lil bit of 3M I will be woodworking tomorrow, but I also started sorting out the VU All of the parts are here now, including the power socket and plug. I then made up the cable...

OK so the bit that didn't fit was sent back, amended and then returned. So I will build the woofer at the weekend.

40 hours on ANC. They have enormous batteries in the headband.

I would agree. However, if you take this into account... https://overclock3d.net/news/software/xbox-game-pass-made-almost-5-billion-for-microsoft-last-year/ Then it would seem they are morphing with ideas that are making them cash. Very clever IMO and Sony really need to get on this wagon also.

The Dysons sound great. Could do with being a bit louder, but the ANC helps a lot there. They are indeed built like a brick poo house. I can also feel my neck muscles getting a good workout lol. They are rather heavy. Still, after two days I didn't even notice. It's also nice to have cordless...

OK so the final work day on this visit. I am off home on Friday, but need to tidy all the tools away tomorrow. The next job will be the grille. Routing out the hole for the speaker, magnets etc. For now though I put the last outer panel on. And then stood it up. Note, I masked inside the...

OK that is it for today. Got this done and finished, then removed it and packed it away. I then cut all of these to size. The reason why I did it now is because it will be impossible down in the port area once the only access hole is the woofer hole. I also needed to do this now and then...

Well for a moment there I thought it was over. I laid it down and placed the side panel over it. It was out. Like, I would say nearly a centimetre out. I sat there wondering how I could have gone so wrong. Then I remembered this actually happened last time. To fix it you line it up at the top (I...

OK so I am now waiting for paint to dry. The final side is in primer, so now needs two coats of satin white. Not sure there will be enough time today to get it all done but we will see. Just depends how it dries. I have now fitted the bottom. So, this will be the last and only fully cross...

OK, so finally I am not in agony. I fitted the gasket foam and bolted down the top. And then set to work. So the top and back are now on. I have to wait until tomorrow before a side can go on (and the bottom) as firstly I need to finish painting the inside of the port and secondly I...

RIP Hifiman Sundara. They lasted just over two years @ 8 hours per day. I got them on special for £130 as I'd set myself a limit of £150. The reason I've done that is money doesn't buy longevity. I've already worn a set of Grado RS2E to the bone, rebuilt them and then wore them out again, blown...

OK so a quick update. My groin area became really bad again. It was peeling and bleeding. I went to the hospital and they did a biopsy. It came back as a fungal infection. Thing is, the initial infection I had was very misleading and thus why I am still here in pain 4 months later. I am hoping I...
