Wow that veneering and rebating is superb. Much respect for your talent and patience. I loved the industrial looking strength of the veneer press as well. thanks alan, im really enjoying it to be honest,from about 94-2005 i had a cabinet making and antique restoring business,just me and my dad. i loved every minute of it and doing the plinth is reminding me of that time of my life. happy days.

Great work Jamie, This will look a stunner when its all reassembled. Any Idea when you may get it finished? Mind you the process/ project is half the fun?

thanks jimbo,well it will probably be about a month for the plinth,ive got the feet to design and make,probably a 2 piece panzerholz affair then the filling of the underneath with my secrect damping material lol and then begins the polishing.im also on the waiting list to visit angus at some point soon to talk bearing options for the tts,i have a design id like to run past him.

Great job Jamie and I would fully support the idea of a separate arm pillar. One way of doing this without too much fuss is to use a fixing bar which slots into a hole in the plinth base but within a damped slider block which can be used to fix the position of the arm. The other, as Simon suggests is to cut a deep groove between the line of where the arm mount will be and the plinth, but then plug that gap with absorption material like sorbathane sheet or strips. Personally I would probably have left more material within the base if there had been no real need to remove it but it may have become rather a heavy beast to move then!

thanks paul and scotty, so this weekends work has been to tidy up the underside,i choose satin black and gave it 4 coats.when the plinth is finished you will only see the side edges so i concentrated on them more.
its now ready for my secret sauce! the reason why all that material was removed from underneath,the plug has also been made. i start tomorrow

whoa im getting a bit excited now,question. what do you do with 10kg of newplast? lol
this stuff has very good damping properties so should compliment the panzerholz well. i just hope i can get the plug out when its done |
