Re: Another Audio Bench...

my arms grew about an inch in mass after rubbing the shelves :sweat: but I do like the final result.

then I started another piece until it was flat and squre to the desired dimensions and drilled the holes for the threaded insert nut that will hold the spikes.

where did you get the threaded inserts? Been looking for it at the new bolt shelves at Wilcon but they don't even know what it is.

Re: Another Audio Bench...

@timber,
agh! hand rubbed??? that was painstaking hand rubbing...but whoah! look at the result!
clap clap clap!

btw are those spikes available locally? i doubt kung meron sa raon.i dont know now..spikes i believe became a fad when cd's were available to the public and since the entry of what hifi mag maybe 25 years ago.

thanks.

Re: Another Audio Bench...

Ding, the threaded screws are readily available in To Suy and most screw and nut stores...

Doc, the spikes came from the US during online 4 shipment, I ordered 5 sets for my use but opted I didn't really need them, so they get sold for builds like such...

Re: Another Audio Bench...

Sorry. This is probably the wrong thread to ask this but I did a search and could not find an existing one.

Would anyone know of screw shops in the Antipolo, Marikina, Cainta area?

If you're in a hurry and willing to spend a fortune, meron sa Robinson's Metro East. Pics in this thread:

If not, I'm going to Binondo tomorrow. Pwede kong isabay na yung kailangan mo.

you can use a T-nut in replacement of that, but often they carry them, just tell them you need a threaded insert. bring a matching screw that you need them for, else time for a Binondo trip 😀

Re: Another Audio Bench...

TNut won't work for me. I plan to use it to screw my TS onto the stand I made. Since I'd be lifting it occasionally, TNut may come loose if I lift it the wrong way ; i.e. holding the TS instead of the stand. Right now, I'm using an ordinary screw.

I also plan to use threaded inserts. in the future when I make my workbench to screw the benchtop to the legs.

Thanks. Tamad lang kasi ako magpunta Binondo. I recall though there were some funny shop names there like Screw City or Screw King long ago.

Re: Another Audio Bench...

like the thread title say, here comes another one, wait... here comes two in the making....
started with rough Mahogany as usual, rough cut to length for easier handling...

and started power planning one side flat...

yun lang muna:fartysmile1f:
I need six shelves and I have materials cut for four shelves only, will cut another two tomorrow before I continue... the good thing about this build is I'm growing muscles :showoff:
