For some clarity, I did not make the speakers, but attempted to match the wood as closely as I could for the credenza.

If you have more than one floor in your house your WiFi antenna are likely pointed improperly. The signal comes out of the sides so have some horizontal.

Who cares. This is some beautiful craftsmanship. Really like the design!

Not to mention you want the tweeters to be at ear level for the best listening experience. Unless they sit on the floor they're just plain doing it wrong. Does this person not know anything?! /s

Middle vertical and outsides at 45 degrees

It is a single story home. I'm sure there is a more ideal setup, but it seems to be working fine for my brother's purposes.

That tasteful chamfer around the record cubbies that jives with the bevel of the speakers tho.

That is a quality piece.

Sound & Fury isn't the Sturgill Simpson album I'd have chosen, but any Sturgill Simpson is better than no Sturgill Simpson.

Excellent craftsmanship. I am highly jealous of that entire setup as I sit over here with my particle-board record player stand and my crappy 5-in1 Victrola turntable.

There are quite a few Sturgill albums in the house!

Beautiful work!very nice design too. Is the carcass all miter joints? That’s great skill. Did you glue them? Is there dowels or biscuits or anything holding them together?

The one I did is just glue on the miters but I wish I had the skills and tools to reinforce them

[-] DontHurtMe23@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The outside corners are indeed all miter joints. In hindsight, I'd do splines. I did reinforce the bottom miters with dowels, but the top miters were tight enough that I felt comfortable with just glue.

Fantabulous.

Is that a credenza?

Like I see a gorgeous hi-fi cabinet, but...is that what a credenza is? I thought a credenza was basically the bottom cabinet of a dining room cupboard, without the upper hutch.

Hi Bixby: what's the definition of a credenza?

[-] DontHurtMe23@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

That's a good question that I don't know the answer to. Credenza seems like the sexy marketing term, like how so much stuff is "mid century modern" now!
