Westminsters

Hi Folks an Easter update...they are home,my arms a couple of inches longer than they were yesterday.
I will now spend the weekend fitting the moldings which should be a nice relaxing job and then fit the bases which i have made detachable to take a few pounds of the weight for moving them which i hope won't be for a while now.

Heres some pics-

Dave, i will post some more info on the cross overs as i think they will be subject to some adjustments when the drivers are fitted-i will hopefully have a chance to hear the Pass amps that you are using soon so really looking forward to that!

Best Si.

Keep em coming!

Yes I cannot wait to see them finished!

Do you take commissions or do lessons in wood butchering

Hi all,

Had a busy weekend, Girlfriend went to London so out came the saws!...and the hoover.

The solid oak mouldings have all been cut and fitted, they just need a good sand, then 2 coats of the polyx oil and a buff up with the drill. I studied the original mouldings closely and it was hard to work out how they may have been cut so artistic license here, a little different to the originals but very close, mine have a slight lip into the tops and also a slight angle on the edges of top and bottom to echo the finish on the vertical front mouldings, I'm very pleased with them.
All other panels apart from the fronts have been pre finished-the Osmo polyx oil is a really nice finish, not too reflective, just a satin finish that lets the grain come out nicely while drying very hard so very protective.
I also put a driver loosely in place to get an idea of how that area will look, the bases also still need to be attached and the backs also...nearly there.

Best Si.:)

I have often wondered why Tannoy only do the walnut finish and not oak or ash too. I can safely say that these will look BETTER than the originals IMO.

Superb.

Very Nice Work Simon......love that look. All power to you. I know how much work there is in those boxes. Good work mate!

Gobsmacked, they look fantasic. :stalks:
