l want to build a solid wood turntable
I once had big plans on building my own tt using purpleheart. As my first project, I fashioned a motor enclosure out of 3" purpleheart. It had been in my home for a couple years acclimating to it's environment. One day, while listening, I kept hearing distortion. Yep, the enclosure had cracked. For this reason, I abandoned my use of only wood in a tt project. |
Good reading here. https://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=22593.60 The photos get a bit more exciting around page 6. |
twoleftears, Thanks for the link, that was fascinating. I must say though that the turntable in the finish was really ugly. The top looked like an old parquet floor that needed replacing, and that veneer he put on the side just looked terrible and had no visual relation to the top. Shame after so much work. He should have had the whole thing professionally veneered for all of the great work that he did. |
