Did you put V cuts in the bottom of them? I work with an engineering firm that specialized in audio and they proved that having Vs in the bottom of the stands of electrical equipment and speakers improved the quality.
Look pretty good. (Y)
Off topic, but would you recommend that Corepad thing?

ghetto YES. perfect for my needs, good mouse control
I would've made the stand have a nice wooden triangle instead of an X so that if I change my speakers no matter what they can rest on it.
Yeah, i didnt know how to describe them exactly. This firm had the most amazing sound system I've ever heard, around 200-300k with custom made 10lb cables and everything. It was.Sup wrote:

Good idea, I've bee planning on building my own workstation area for a bit now, will post it here when I'm done.
Shortened the 3m (10feet) long cables to 1.5 (5feet) and sleeved it:
original cable
How do you guys like it?

Looks nice. Would have been nicer to get yellow/proper black shrink plastic at the end with the headphones, but a nice job. At least, if that's what you used. Did you just snip the cable + resolder?
heh to me it looks black but the flash made it look really grey yeah I cut the cable off as the 1/8 jack is a screw-on jack (screws onto the 1/4 jack) and its really impossible to get those anywhere, I wanted to keep itsome_random_panda wrote:

When I get around to building the desk I want to, I'll post it up here, but atm I'm re doing my watercooling set up and doing some pretty major modding on my case to make it fit... so it will be a bit..Sup wrote:

Nice monitors as well, love those (the speakers I mean)
Headphones looks awesome, I need a pair.
Thought I would add something to this section not much but, Wife cracked her blackberry cover screen (not LCD). Ordered a new one and replaced it.

Hmm...
My apartment didn't have a toilet paper roll holder, so I made one...
Its kinda a piece though, because I made it quick and didn't have enough scrap to toss the part I held it by and 3 jaw chucks are no good if you plan to release and flip the workpiece....
I also made this hammer from a couple pieces of barstock and a nylon screw on tip.
OK, not really tech, but is DIY...

Do you work with metal professionally or do you happen to have a lathe handy? Also, how is the texture put on the hammer's handle?VicktorVauhn wrote:

I as well built a hammer (well, a gavel technically) but my friend stole it so no pics.
