      So glad to see you comment that!!! One day I hope to look back fondly at this playlist and to be honest I'll probably NEED the details there in order to really remember everything from start to finish. I'm already forgetting how I approached some steps, having to go back and look lol. I can only imagine what it'll be like after 5 years or more

  • @pjtruslow
    @pjtruslow Рік тому +1

    hey EXO, you really need to make sure you have a riving knife at a minimum when using a table saw. it's the steel "knife" that goes behind the blade. when you finished the cut on the table saw at 14 minutes, it looks like you don't have one.
    Without a riving knife, pieces of wood can rotate as you finish the cut, and bind between the blade and fence and get launched by the backside of the blade. The riving knife keeps the wood from rotating between it and the fence when you finish the cut, and is kind of the bare minimum if you aren't able or don't want to use a full guard.
    I'm not trying to tell you that you are doing stuff wrong, you're doing great work on this project, just don't want you getting hurt.

    Hey brother, here is a welding tip. After welding, if you aren’t feeling too good, it could be from the welding fumes. Drink milk, if doesn’t bother your chrones. For some reason drinking milk helps you to recover.

    EXO I’ve been watching you for a wile now. This looks like a great build. I’m a welder fabricator by trade. I’m building stereo systems as a hobby. I noticed something in this episode that I wanted to bring to your attention. You are grinding your welds in the same room your Storting speakers. Your making iron powder. It will find its way in your speaker. The magnetic field will snatch it right out of the air. Just looking out for you dude. Have a great day.

    • @kellypg

    • @JasonWW2000
      @JasonWW2000 Рік тому

      It should not be a problem. Iron powder does not float through of the air like dust. The powder would need to be thrown towards the speaker to within about two or three feet and then it would get pulled to the exterior of the magnet. Again this would not be any type of serious problem. He has plenty of distance and no direct path for the powder to be thrown towards the speakers.

    I’d like to make a suggestion for the back wall on top of using the 3 inches thick of wood, use some stout angle iron as reinforcement for the back on the amp side and it will also act as the mounting points for the amps with room behind to run the cables

    Your enthusiasm and determination are totally inspiring! Can't wait to see you finish this build! Maybe others have said it before but I HIGHLY recommend you wear a respirator when you're grinding steel or cutting wood. I only had to be blowing metal snot rockets one time to learn that lesson. Unless you wear a respirator, you are 100% breathing in that material and the last thing you need is some crazy health problems down the road caused by all that dust. Harbor Freight even sells respirators!
