I don't want to play this game anymore.

Welcome to the forum, slbenz. Thanks for the pic of your system. Don't let these crazy guyz force you to buy an amp that you don't need. (altho, you probably will want an M1.0t at some point)

Welcome Carlton8000. 800 miles! Road Trip.

Welcome Rob.

Thank you very much for stopping by Bob. We look forward to future updates about the new company. Perhaps you could convince Bob Carver to stop by as well.

I like "Eyes of Silver" and of course "Black Water" is a super classic.

Welcome to the forum Matt.

Welcome staticvar. Good to see another member from Alberta.

Welcome to the forum Mike. Tons of good info here.

Welcome winterluver. That is a very nice system you have. There appears to be a mallard duck loose in your house though.

Dave?.................. Dave's not here.

I guess I shouldn't have mentioned my Cutlass. This thread is about Mr cutlass72. PS: Blues Pwr has a cutlass as well. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Cutlass site.

Welcome to the forum, Ron. I have an 86 Cutlass.

Welcome to the forum Sanford. I am a fan of the B&W speakers. I use original 602s in HT and Nautilus 805s in my two channel system. I am not familiar with the CM1 but I looked at the specs/dimensions and it looks pretty small. I would be concerned about inadequate bass response thus causing you to say dammit. Listen to them first for sure and also listen to something a little bigger in size before you decide.

One of my favourite songs; Mother and Child Reunion by Paul Simon. No I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day But the mother and child reu-nion Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine. I cant for the life of me Remember a sadder day I know they say let it be But it just dont work out that way And the course of a lifetime runs Over and over again No I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day But the mother and child reu-nion Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine. I just cant believe its so, And though it seems strange to say I never been laid so low In such a mysterious way And the course of a lifetime runs Over and over again But I would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day When the mother and child reu-nion Is only a motion away, Oh, oh the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away Oh the mother and child reu-nion Is only a moment away

Oldtexasdog; stay.........stay.............stay.............stay..........good boy. Now ........roll over..........

Interesting story. I'll bet he has a few that zumbini doesn't have.

Thank you very much for your comments, everyone. And thank you Rich for the "master builder" award. I am honoured. Here is an "action shot"

My idea to make the CD holder slots involved cutting a whole whack of dado joints in some solid pine. the slots are 1/2 inch in size and separated by 1/4 inch. This was a bit time consuming. I then ripped them into strips 2 5/8 inches wide and glued them into the vertical slots. I had some solid fir laying around and so I cut it into strips, stained them and glued them behind the slotted pine in order to make a "stop". The CD will remain about 5/8 inch proud of the face of the cabinet so they are easy to grab. I then cut a piece of 1/4 inch oak plywood and stained it. this becomes the back and is naied in place. I then use a Danish walnut oil and wet/dry 400 grit sandpaper to smooth the top, sides and shelf. The rest gets oiled but not sanded. Here is the completed project with some close up shots of the trim detail. (good corner only shown) And the completed project; I am estimating that the material cost was about $120 and about 25-30 hours work. It has room for 144 CDs in the slots and space for "double CDs" in the shelf on the bottom. My neighbour stopped by just as I was finishing and he says "could you make me one for my CDs?" He has about 2000 CDs. I said, "NO"

I am posting this in pieces so I don't lose the whole thing if the computer crashes. Once the carcass is together, I cut 1/2 inch strips of solid oak at the table saw and cut them to length. Its a bit time consuming to glue each piece on but I like the results.; I use an oak plywood top with solid wood edging (mitred) and screw it on. I like to make my own simple moldings using the router and then attach them with glue and air nailer. Here is a shot of the completed carcass with all the trim. I like this stage the best. I found a Minwax "walnut" stain the I really like. I leave the stain on for a short time before rubbing it off. I use a wood conditioner before i stain.

I hope this counts as a DIY project. Last week, I decided it was time to build a CD cabinet to house my meager CD collection. I use pretty basic woodworking techniques (dado and rabbet joints) but I am generally happy with the results. I build my projects out of 3/4 inch oak plywood with 1/2 inch solid oak trim. Once I come up with a design, I cut the pieces as such: I then set up my stack dado set and fine tune it to the correct width and go ahead and cut my dado joints and rabbet joints. I test fit everything if it looks good, I will glue it together. Wood glue is extremely strong. I very rarely use screws. If you glue two pieces of wood together and then 15 minutes later you change your mind, you will NOT be able to separate the joint without busting the wood. Here is the glue up;

TIME.... is just one damn thing after another.

Thanks for the extra pic. I guess i was so wide-eyed from the photo that i completely missed the fact that you included the model of the guitar right under the picture. For some reason, the scale made the body look bigger, making me think it was hollow or semi-hollow body.

Now THATS a music collection. Welcome zumbini. Is that a hollow body guitar?

I like the lyrics to "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", especially the openning which is rather profound and introspective for a "rock" song; It's getting to the point, Where I'm no fun anymore. I am sorry. Sometimes it hurts, So badly I must cry out loud. I am lonely. etc.
