Trio 12 end table build

[johnnyfamous]

I have begun the box, I made a few modifications from the CSS plans. To add a little height my box is 19"x19"x22. I plan on putting it between a couple arm chairs and want it high enough to hold a lamp and drink.

The other deviation, I had Bob send me a Bash 300 with the kit instead of the 500. With a three year old and a new born, my budget is tight and the $100.00 i saved can go to diapers
my volume levels are always low (cant wake the little ones) so i figured aside from the decrease in max volume the combination would still be a good replacement for the current 15 year old 10" junker i bought from future shop years ago. I am selling it cheap if anyones interested

Your thoughts on the difference between the 300 or 500 would be interesting?

[mwmkravchenko]

Difference? What difference?

Here's the long and the short of it. Every doubling of power input raises the volume by 3 db. The same is true for halving the power = less 3 db. The good side is that 3 db is where most people just notice a difference.

Nice box!

Looks strudy and good quality pics.

Your well on the the way to Boomdom!

Since you won't be pushing the sub to it's limits you'll do fine with the Bash 300 amp. Keep the pics coming!

I ordered my solid wood veneer off ebay, a great scource for unusual veneer is small quantities. If you have lots of cash you might be best off with vinyl backed veneer in a 4x8 sheet, but still then you dont get the rare stuff.

pictured bellow are birds eye maple that I plan on using on the top and macassar ebony with a figured pattern, very rare. in fact I have never seen ebony with a figure before.

I also won on ebay some inlay strips that I plan on using as a divider between the two woods.

As someone with young children, I can appreciate the need to save that extra cash! Diapers are NOT cheap! Good looking build!

I lika the veneer!

Is this your first time veneering or are you an old Pro?

You sure have good taste that's for sure. Beautifull stuff.

LOL, i want the ditto house!

Pro would be a stretch. I have had allot of wood working and finishing experience both professionally and personally. I dont generally do things by the book, but opt for my own way using the limited tools that I have learning along the way.

have a look at the speakers I built in the link on my signature. I used the same veneering methods I plan to use here.

This will however be my first inlay. I plan to build a guitar one day and wanted to practice inlays so I thought this would be a good opportunity to learn.
