Guest RodN Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Thanks for the links JA,yes some bedtime reading. Mint has also let me know that Aranmar may take anything from 4-6 months to completethese one of projects Rod if your out there,how long did your sub cabinets take?? Must be patient Looks like a Chrissy pressie I wonder if we can generate a Tsunami for Port Phillip Bay [/b] A long time Joz - 3/4 months from memory. But once he starts they get done pretty quick. It's just hard getting him to start without showing up and I live 1 hour away from him so it was hard to get over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joz Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 Whoo hoo!! My veneer has finally arrived and is now at Aranmar. So here are some pics of the progress. I can't believe it finally happenning.YIPPEE!! Also another pic of the driver for scale. The two subs will be side by side under th PJ screen and will be a total of 2.4 mters wide. So at this stage the bracing is yet to go in as are the ports,which are huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gat474 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I was Aranmar on Tuesday and John was pointing out those nice JBL drivers in his front room. He mentioned something about some bloke putting them in separate cabinets to go under a screen. I suspected it might be someone from this forum. Good luck with the Aranmar boxes. He really does a nice job. The dog is friendly too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelWC Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hi Joz, Congrats on your new toy as these will be some serious sounding and looking subs. I do have 3 questions I like to ask. 1. The veneer looks wonderful, are these the burled cut Bubinga veneer ?. 2. Looking at one of your earlier picture and correct me if I wrong, but it looks like they routered a V grove into a large sheet of already veneered piece of wood and with tape on the other side (to stop splitting) they then fold along that grove to form a 90 degree bend. This then keeps the same continuous wood grain pattern along each sides of the box. Is this right ? – if so then I must give it a try. 3. Why are some of the circular cut out in the bracing routered in should a way they look like it is flared ? It is so inspiring just looking at these pictures, thanks for sharing. Cheers Michael.

terry j Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Michael the box is prepared on what is known as a V-cutter. It is a very long table that has adjustable stops along it. You lay your prepared board on it, this case has been veneered,and also has edge veneer. The front and back edges have been rebated for the two baffles to fit in. The machine has a set of saws at 90 degrees to each other which can extend across the table. The table moves along and when the table reaches the preset stop the saws come across and cut the v shape you made out. The table then moves along to the next cut etc etc. The saw height is very accurately adjustable, and it cuts away everything and 'just knicks' the tape which then allows you to fold the box with glue in the v-cuts and Bob is your uncle. The tape is not to prevent chipping from routering but to hold it together and provide a depth to cut to, and is obviously applied at all the v points prior to laying on the table. When the box has been folded you get all the corners (except one of course) with continuous wood grain, and perfectly formed front and back rebates, and the baffles then just drop in. I seriously doubt you could get a repeatable accurate job using a router, and especially (for example) on a job of this thickness. I do know how to tell you how to do cuts on a normal table saw if you'd like (although unlike the v-cut they grain is not continuous) but you will have mitred joints from pre veneered board. Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
