These vintage cabs are more tower shaped than other monkey coffins. The removable rear baffle is handy for reworking as well. I helped build some Zingers in the same cabs a few years ago.

I have one too. Very frickin cool.

Question: when you overspend, you can just use a pencil to rewind back into the card?

I ordered a Shaper Origin CNC router last week and it and several accessories arrived today. I recently attended a demonstration at the Woodsmith store and was impressed with what you could do with it. It was pricey but the build quality is first rate. It’s designed in the US and assembled by Festool in Germany.

Wow, can’t wait to see what you do with it!

Nice, like that it is open ended and not bound by table size or anything. Looking forward to your actual use!

To serve and protect. Yeah right.
Google maps had us get off 69 because of a crash and road closure. So we’re cutting through these back roads, farm land as far as the eye can see. We pass what I thought was the road back to 69. Couple hundred yards, we turn around. We head back to the road, wife’s driving, asks what’s the speed limit, I say Google maps doesn’t say because I’m turning us around to get back to the express way. She says a car just did a U turn behind us. Yup fucking Po Po. He pulls us over right at the stop sign to get back to the express way. Says 59 in a 45, license and registration. We tell him what happened, he doesn’t care at all. We wait, he comes back with a ticket. My wife’s birthday is tomorrow, we were a bit lost, obviously not from here, nothing. To serve and protect. :fu:t2:to you deputy dipshit.

Fascinating interview by Rick Beato (as usual), this time with engineer Eddie Kramer. Hendrix, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, etc.

Happy with the sound for now. Weather finally stopped raining, decided to put a couple of coats of Osmo 1101 clear satin on.

Wow those look great!

I’ve been going through the Shaper Origin getting started videos and made my first cuts with it this afternoon. I found you can do a lot with the built in tools, it has very good dust collection if you remember to turn on the vacuum cleaner and it’s very accurate.

My first attempt to engrave a letter had the depth set way to deep. Decimal point location apparently matters. The demo is a little tool holder for the 1/4" shank bits and I put way too big of offset in to make the hole bigger. Other than that it went pretty well.

The block was designed to be 2 x 3 inches.


Setting the depth to deep left a perfect S on the backside.

Yeah, the pic doesn’t do it justice. That Osmo stuff really sets off the beauty of walnut.

Looks like Rosewood!
