Using the Serifdraw program again I made an approximate shape of an old logo from the 1930's. I used the water based 'diamond hard' clear varnish. Practice on a spare piece of wood first, wipe it off quickly if it goes wrong and re apply, try again.įour coats of varnish add a bit of depth and durability. The comb you have to rock up and down as you scrape the varnish partly off. There is a primer that gives the overall tone as shown in the pictures and then a coloured varnish that you have limited time to apply and scrape using a 'comb' provided in the kit. You have to be methodical with this method, use masking tape to protect where you don't want it to go or to create fake edges where panels meet. I would like to have a go one day at recreating the old Bakelite radio effect but this will take time to sort out so thats for much later on and on something else.
ART DECO 15 INCH SPEAKERAMP FULL
I used the 'Oak' Brushwood kit (now discontinued they told me in B+Q, luckily I had nearly a full kit in the shed).
ART DECO 15 INCH SPEAKERAMP HOW TO
There are plenty of good tutorials on how to achieve a this effect. I may put it in another design later but for now its in this and its staying. The sub is a bit restricted in this case design of mine, but seems to still work very well. The music and effects in films are now reproduced much better than my local cinema. If the speaker is not airtight it will not blow your socks of properly. Use the right glue suggested, even if you have never heard of it and have 10 gallons of PVA available. you get a 3D file too so that you can look around and inside it in Sketchup. You really do need to read the very detailed plans, more than once. The centre port vents at the back of the cab and is helped by being near the wall when in position. I'm not inclined to take it apart just for images. I forgot to take pictures of of my Tabletuba before I put it inside. Maybe its different now, but a little research on the sites forum is always helpful. The only problem is that the recommended speakers were only available in the USA at the time I made it. Inside it has an 8 inch JBL GTO car speaker, larger speakers can be put in. The band speakers were excellent, so when I eventually had the chance of my own mini cinema I bought the plans that make a 'Tabletuba'. I made some PA speakers for my band using plans I purchased from the this guy: The fit isn't perfect but thats where car body filler and sanding comes in. The finished and trimmed semi-circles were then glued onto the inner frame. But I thought that ply would be more durable in the long run as furniture gets knocked about by kids, hoovers, etc.Īdditionally I don't use MDF anymore unless I have to, the dust when sanding and cutting is deadly. You can see that I added screws where I could, these were removed the next day and the holes were filled in.The PVA glue slid and made it swivel/skid a but but I got there in the end. I then wrestled the ply tight further onto it using a mixture of clamps and/or masking tape. This bit wasn't easy, it took a few attempts.įlexible 4mm ply at was bent over a single semi-circle curve in the middle.Ī screw held the starting point secure. as possible.ġ8 inch curves of ply were used for the frame of the lower base ends. So whatever I made it needed to look simple and cool and hiding as much untidy wiring etc. The rear speakers are not really seen but the front ones are always on view, along with wires and extra amplifiers. The speakers I already had for my surround sound consisted of old hifi speakers, car speakers and a home made subwoofer I made from design plans I purchased off the net.

This Instructable is more of a guide for your ideas than an outright detailed 'how to'. This is all work in progress, I'm not a joiner, I'm not an electrician, I'm not a sound engineer, etc, it is a bit rough around the edges so please don't criticise if your standards are far superior to mine. Iv'e always liked the designs of old radiograms and old radios so I did some research and came up with a few sketches/combinations. There are 2 rear speakers behind the camera not shown. This is a surround sound speaker cabinet to house various speakers required for 5.1 surround.
