Is it overly complicated? In other words, could some measurements and a simple drawing convey the design parameters? I've built some complex, and very nice thresholds with just that.

Ah, the kitty just wants a meal and a warm bed.

I'm assuming he meant a table saw. I've built hundreds of thresholds, but I can't open your file, so not sure if it's a complicated build or not.

Just watched episode one. Off to a fine start.

One thing I've done in the past to replicate a textured finish, is to paint the shelf Black, then with a pin or exacto knife, open up the spray hole. Test first, but it should give you a nice splatter texture as the finale coat. Even better if the sheen is a little different. That's best with spray epoxy.

Do not use a water or latex based paint on MDF, at least not before sealing the MDF. Spray paint is going to give you the best finish. But you can use an enamel paint with a brush. Just use 500 grit sand paper in between coats.

Interesting.

Does retipping always include a new cantilever, or if it's in good shape can just the stylus be replaced?

I think yours will always be the crown jewel Ken. Wish I still had a picture of it.

RIP Charlie Pride. He became a huge Country Music star at a time when a Black Country singer was unheard of. He did it with a positive attitude and a bucket load of class. They wouldn't even put his picture on his first two albums. Covid-19 sucks ass!

That was fast! Beautiful! So happy to see it working! It looks better as a turntable than a giant, very expensive paperweight. Any chance the cartridges can be retipped? BTW, those headphone stands on your subwoofer are beautiful too!

All good advice. I myself opted to buy a platter, tonearm and motor, then build everything else from scratch. But the OP has already purchased a table.

For Doug...

Nothing says Christmas like a dead, rotting King on a skull thrown.

I always do my own driving.

I can't wait to not buy it.

Funny, I just had Grillos with my sandwich.

As most things Kreg, they're well thought out.

I think my favorite album of Mrs. Wells was Lonely Street.

Damn, I was busy today and forgot to look. Glad you caught this Nate. Happy Birthday to one of my favorite HCers! Hope you had a great day Todd!

The Record Doctor V seems quite reasonable at $199.00.
