Looking forward to the posts! Need all the help I can get.

My interests are high efficiency speaker building along with general woodworking, audio electronics and simple repair.

Good luck to all!

Hi thoms_here - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Interesting skill set; what's next up on your projects list?

Hi Jon, I'm so glad to find the site, you've done a great job with it!

Next up is trying to find plans for some small 2-way bookshelf speakers that produce big sound with very little power.

Thanks and take care

Hi thoms_here,

Welcome!

That's quite an intriguing hobby you've got; I'd love to see some of your homemade speakers.

Thanks Ken, what a great site!

I wish I would have found you guys a long time ago. My first true love used to be "Iceboat" building. My father-in-law was a world championship "DN Class" Iceboat builder and racer and got me into really fine wood working back in the early 80's. From there I transferred some of those skills into speaker building. I will put up some pics when I get a min.

Take care and thanks for having such a great DIY site!
