si Anthony(diy_master) tumatanggap ata ng veneering job, baka mas makamura sa kanya.

[kayee]

sir sa handyman store meron silang sell na veneer, and  and watch ng youtube how to apply yung veneer thru ironing boss......

[camoteque]

Used real wood veneer in this JBL paragon cabinet restoration. Purchased the veneers from Brightyear Plywood near Munoz, Q.C.  They are not expensive and you can buy them in small strips 8' long.









An open baffle full range project which used real wood veneer




Fertin driver installed.

Kung gagastos ka rin, I suggest use real wood veneer than synthetic. Mas maganda siya.

Wow, very nicely done. For keeps ang design..

Actually, the design was from Voxativ Ampeggio. But owner used Fertin field coil drivers instead of the original Voxativ.

I don't have a spray gun. Can that veneer be waxed or something easy to do?

Brightyear is near what road on Edsa. Hanapin ko sa Maps. Also if coming from Timog QC, will it be on my side or the going back side?

If you're coming from Balintawak, you will reach Brightyear before reaching the former Bonanza. I think it is also before Kaingin Road.

You can even use Linseed Oil because it's real wood.

I see. If I come out of Roosevelt to Edsa, I already missed it? So in Edsa its on the side of Roosevelt and Waltermart Muñoz.

If you're coming from Roosevelt then EDSA, go back to Balintawak. Make a U-turn after you see Kaingin Rd. on the left. If I'm not mistaken, there is an overpass in Kaingin so that's your landmark. So southbound ka na ngayon. Brightyear is on the side of Waltermart but before Kaingin Rd.

Got it. Thanks Camotecue.

[deist]

@camoteque - love the JBL paragon cabinets. very good quality of work 

[tony]

Sir Tony hanapin ko po yung tel number. will PM you..

thanks...

[camoteque]

Got it. Thanks Camotecue.

No problem. Clarification lang. Ka-side lang siya ng Waltermart at hindi nasa right side ha. Before reaching Kaingin and Munoz kung galing ka Balintawak.

Thanks.

@camoteque, re the wood veneers you use; adhesive back ba sya?

[Gino]

Onga pala, I have polyurethane finish. Will I have to sand this down to bare wood to glue the veneer or will smooth enough sandind do for prep?

I also have precut speakers holes and ports on the boxes, can I cut the vinyl after applying on the box fronts? Is it thin enough for that procedure?

[camoteque]

@camoteque, re the wood veneers you use; adhesive back ba sya?

They are not. You can use contact cement.

[deist]

ok. thanks!

The veneer is very very thin. They can be easily cut.

Better sand it down if it is still possible. If you can't, at least make it rough enough so the contact cement will still stick.

[Gino]

If contact cement is used, what happens when panels meet? Can't sand contact cement. Can wood glue be used?

Veneer is so thin (maybe 2 or 3 pieces of bond paper thk only). When they meet in corners, it's unlike what you see when two thicker ply meet that you need to make a 45 degree cut. You can use wood glue but it takes time to dry unlike contact cement.

Stick your sand paper to a block of wood and use it in sanding corners.

Great. Thanks for the assistance. I'll drive to Muñoz when I am well.

ganda sir, what do you think of this voxativ design?

[camoteque]

ganda sir, what do you think of this voxativ design?

Yan actually ang inspiration ng owner ng fertin though the voxativ is a backloaded horn, if  I'm correct.
As in all things in audio, me compromise din yang backloaded horn. Yung iba type yan, yung iba ayaw naman nila. Inaadvice ba ni David  Dicks ang ganyang design? Gusto mo subukan baka magwork.

hindi namn sir nag advice ng ganyan si d.dicks. ang ganda lang ng design. wala din ako idea kung anu magiging sq pag AN or MA ang ilagay. but the piano finish certainly looks very good on the eyes... curious lang sa magiging outcome. do you think sir its a good project?

ayan na, bagay yn sa place mo sir shrek...

[camoteque]

My friend and I tried  AN 8"  in a backloaded horn designed for lowthers. Forgot the specific design. With ANs, sound is very thin.

You can copy the voxativ look but make it a BR or TL instead.
