  • Hi Mal, I've fitted a nice threshold and next have to cut the new jambs to fit. I'm a bit slow, as you know :-P

  • Yes, and what I want to know is why they haven't been delivered yet?!? Someone must be held accountable. Actually, I sort of keep forgetting about them. They've been around quite a while, there was a long study done online some time back. Always …
  • Hah hah For the threshold, I think I'm just going to get a piece of 140x25 merbau and cut it to size/shape. Seems too simple - ?

  • I'll go to Barrenjoey timber and see what they've got. I'm thinking if I can get the threshold (that's the part you tread on right) I can probably just reuse the existing frame. One side is a bit warped but a few screws might straighten it out well …

  • Thanks Mal Is this normally an off the shelf item, or it is custom ordered? PS Paul if you're there, would be very grateful of your help for installation (we will pay!) - tried calling on Sunday but your phone was off.

  • I need to start looking into door frames. Can you get them with the bottom part included as well? Also, would you go to Bunnings or a proper door/window place?

  • Hi Graham, one day I'd like to build my own house. Unlikely, but I have this idea it would be easier than fixing someone else's work. OK, there's been other factors like termites, weather, and poor maintenance (my fault). In theory. Right. We …

  • Good o nigel! Hammer, yes, one at a time. Actually they all departed and went to the great Nest in the Sky a long time ago. Just leaving me to clean up after the party. Graham, thanks! Did I mention this great real estate deal I've got a line …

  • Escher lives on in Sean's kitchen!
  • I've been trying to figure out a joke involving application of herbicide, but can't.
  • Zombie yucca! I think I saw a movie about that once. Or not, all zombie movies are a bit the same to me.
  • I thought you said you would only sell them to someone near to me, who would finish them and then invite me over for a listen. I'm sure you said that.
  • Not successful?! Whaaat! Just kidding If it was a dud (try to avoid by enough design work up front) then I'd recycle the parts into another, not try and sell it. Good thoughts all, thank you. Sorry for slow response, been away, family matt…
  • Nigel, I wish you would read I don't want to go into the speaker business, I don't want to take orders ,I'm just trying to figure out if I can build and document cool projects (that I don't really need) without losing money. GeeEmm said: G…
  • Seano said: Never prejudge, lads. That's the secret. Absolutely. That's why I like going down to the local Library and grabbing a handful of "mostly" random CDs. You never know. You'd think by now I'd be able to just click on one of your…
  • GeeEmm said: I don't see the concern. I think you are over thinking this. Hm... what do you mean "over thinking"? I don't want to be "stuck" with $1500 worth of plate amps and drivers (per project). Just can't afford it.
  • Hah hah. If they keep at it it might eventually give up the ghost. Mine is looking even deader now, nearly time for the obit shot.
  • Finished items, built and measured for a HifiZine article.
  • "hair metal balladry" - is that a genre I should know about? I think my collection is a bit shy there.
  • Awesome. I love getting a packet of new CDs (happens too infrequently......) I found the Gloaming on Rdio but haven't actually listened through headphones yet. Lame I know.
