Teres update

I guess I spoke too soon again. I caught Kevin yesterday before he left, ordered the mc stepup, and got it today. Is that customer service or what!!!! I'm going to build it in about 10 minutes. Also got the two base halves glued up today, and prepped it for the lead shot. I'll try to get some pictures up tomorrow of my progress.

Also had a new interesting idea for a Corian (STaron actually, 'cause that's what I use. But, nobody knows the name & Corian is kind of the universal name for solid surface material) base that I may start on in two weeks. Gotta get this one done first.

Pics of yesterday's work is here:

Remember freewebspace is a PITA, so expect a couple of popups.

OK just a quick update. I need to drill the sensor hole, then veneer the plinth. I loaded the arm board with shot today. Looks real good with cocobolo plugs in ebony! I also shaved it a little thinner, just to be on the safe side. Every fit together nicely. I left the plinth about 5/16 bigger than the plans all the way around. I decided to put a couple of ebony dot inlays under the sensor ring on the plinth. Now you have to look for the sensor. Hoping to get final sanding done tomorrow. I took a couple of pics but left my camera at the shop. I'll try and get them up tomorrow.

Getting there. I was going to have a vinyl party on Sunday. Then today I decided to re-do the venner. Just wasn't quite there, IMHO. I came up with a better design. So, a couple of more days. Everything else looks spectacular. Arm board, done. Sub base, done.

Anyone close to Eastern North CArolina is welcome to come on over for the unveiling. Should be next weekend, 23-25 Jan.

OK. I am going to post a few pictures here in a few minutes. Here's where I'm at. The base is done. The armboard is done. The plinth is all veneered, and just needs the final scraping and sanding before the finish is put on. I went with amber shellac on everything. Then, after I steel wooled it out, I rubbed it down with parrafin oil with a little bit of pumice in it. I hope the pics will show the depth of finish on the arm board and base.

I'm starting to get real exited. Everything should be set up this week, and I'm going to have a bring your favorte album party next Saturday. Y'all 're invited!
