None of you ever got my reference. Slackers.

I got it totally and was about to elicit a witty response but thought better of it since we may be in mixed company. FWIW I would be happy to get a one way.

You mean "rolling" you into the conversations? I can't believe I just wrote that!

Don't BS us, Cam. You don't have any "special needs" that can't be completely covered by a hot, $1,000-a-night "courtesan," you little white-bread lothario trash. grin

Cam, you'll always be "special" to me, cause you're always up for getting down in the mud to play.


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

See, see what I've wrought!?!? He just pops in (no, no, "buzzes our houses"), dropping surreptitiously-routed F-bombs. Then, just as quickly, is on to his next post to fling crap aboot [sic]. It's all emoticon-free, too! I am old and unneeded overnight.

Heres another update, mostly finished until the clear coat cures for a week or 2. Spent a few hours rubbing sand on it then rubbed it with a sheep at high speed.

Funny I was thinking about that very phrase the other day at work. Perfection is something I strive for but never seem to attain. To me a craftsman is someone who is great at hiding their mistakes. I am glad I did a small speaker first to hone some of the necessary skills though I doubt I will ever get things perfect. It has been fun and frustrating all at the same time and the finished product looks great is a bonus.

The fronts were going to be a dark metallic red originally but a funny thing happened. The magnets messed up the metal in the paint and polarized the particles. May try for a pearl instead for the ones in the living room.


I can say with great certainty that what Axiom charges for real wood is worth every penny. It requires a lot of equipment and skill and time. Lately I have seen quite a few more comments being made about the prices Axiom is now charging for their speakers and I can say first hand that given all the expense of building a speaker like the M80 they are still a great value.
