Kahit magkulambo pa brader may dadapo pa din diyan...
Reality yan... yun tipong ingat na ingat ka tapos may dadapo na insect.

Hehehehe....

[deist]

Kailangan ko na talagang bumisita sa'yo 

Not yet.  Nasa finishing pa.

[deist]

Finally met earlier today mr ironman himself - Edrel Sison. Picked up the PT, OPTs, choke & motor run caps from him. Nice meeting you bro. Till next time for the other stuff.



Solid ang bigat nito! these would need a very sturdy enclosure 

[Gino]

Ironman, ha ha, solid nickname for Edrel. Looks like a nice project you have there.

[deist]

Thanks bro! He makes some of the best traffos in the land, I guess Ironman would suit well 

This project is a SE EL34/6L6/KT88 tube amp, approx. will give 10-14watts-UL & 5-8watts-Triode. I'm looking for someone to collaborate with and build a wooden enclosure for this, I prefer hard wood like narra...

*cough* timber! *cough*

may pesteng ahem

Narra is very hard to acquire brader, it is either very expensive or too young (cut earlier than needed) bec it is illegal. Though I have several pieces in my stock, send me dimensions....

[JoeyGS]

There is dau and molave up going towards tagaytay.  But the challenge is to get the oldest batch

Or making sure it is dry... Kung ako, I like to make one out of walnut or walnut-maple combo.

[JoeyGS]

Right!  Would also support timber's recommendation. Mas stable and guaranteed dry

[Gino]

There is also laser cutting service in Kamias if you want to put some etching on the walnut. You can supply outline friendly file image. Coordination lang kay Timber. This wood really reminds me of fine rifles. Kung kaya checkering that will be awesome (if one likes guns he he.)

Eto Joey konting update...
Almost avoided the jojo curse pero had to make minor touch up before I started the top coat.
Started by preparing the space, then making sure that it was clean. First two coats went in fast.

Then a 3rh and 4th coat went in.

Dami pa ring imperfections, but without a dedicated booth that is expected.

Not an issue anyway as most of the topcoat will be sanded flush

But that happens after two days pa, so its time for me to rest till next week....

[JoeyGS]

Alright! Thanks for the update.  Getting there......

[Gino]

Ang tindi ng process ng speakers mo. You have this blog pa to show people how they came to be. Iyan ang priceless.

[deist]

PM'ed you brader timber...walnut-maple combo with dovetails, pwede! 

Or making sure it is dry... Kung ako, I like to make one out of walnut or walnut-maple combo.

thanks for the suggestions guys, appreciate your input 

[Gino]

This will be another classic build. Deist are you personally going to build the amp?

[deist]

Yes bro. I am personally building the amp. susubok ang isang walang background sa electronics-acounting major na magbuo ng high voltage hifi amp...hmm, sounds like a recipe for disaster 

This will be another classic build. Deist are you personally going to build the amp?

[Gino]

That will be fun. I too have no electronics background apart from childhood and RC tinkering.

I built a headphone tube amp from a kit. ArnoldC was thoughtful enough to make a paint by numbers like assembly manual.

Just be wary of the potential of fully charged capacitors and how to handle them safely. Lastly, let a seasoned expert review your work and power it up the first time.

Sabi ko na kasi eh... inevitable yan... dun pa sa final coat dadapo yun insect diyan...

Tapos yun tipong pipilitin pa maglakad nun insect... or hihingi ng tulong sa ibang insects... ouch!

[JojoD818]

Alright! Thanks for the update.  Getting there......

After Holy Week pa daw matatapos...

[Gino]

Bwahahaha, hayop ka manakot. Sunod-sunod pa. Pero seriously, bummer kung hindi umabot ng Holyweek he he. Pressure, pressure.

[JoeyGS]

Ok lang yun ..... am not in a hurry naman..... Maggie is keeping me company

At saka gagawin pa yung footers niyan

After Holy Week pa daw matatapos...

[JoeyGS]

Sa tingin ko dinedelay lang ni Jojo yan. Kasi pag nagawa na kailangan na siya pumasyal sa Sta. Rosa

Reality yan eh, ewan ko ba sa mga insects na yan ang gusto landing area yun makinis, makintab at malagkit... yun tipong matutuyo na sabay dadapo...

[Gino]

Those are really delicious irons you made Edrel. Ang kikinis.

[edrel sison]

thanks Gino. i hope to hear them one of these days on deist's place match with his alpairs.

[JoeyGS]

Mag audio pilgrimage ka na dito sa sta. Rosa.  Kung ma-timing punta rin si jojod.

thanks Gino. i hope to hear them one of these days on deist's place match with his alpairs.

[Gino]

I do too. I will be watching this build. Edrel-Deist-Timber collaboration. Wow. Did I miss anybody?
