This is a hanger bolt. The wood screw end goes into the leg, while the threaded end goes into the top.

Got it stained and milled 1/16" deep, round recesses in the top for the Bigfoot Isolation feet to seat into, otherwise they tend to slide around. Will start the clearcoat process tomorrow. I'm expecting not to have to worry about flies landing in my clearcoat, since they seem to greatly prefer Pence's head.

Your best bet may be to hire Wilco to follow her around.

I'm using charcoal briquettes and Catcoon poop.

The top is made up of two pieces of 1/2" plywood, with T-nuts buried in between the two. The legs have threaded inserts that screw into the T-nuts. Very solid if not exactly beautiful. It should look better when stained Black.

I got bored today and decided not to wait for Milo. Just a down and dirty TT stand. The bottom shelf is morticed into the legs, then attached with trim screws that I covered with plugs (plugs still need to be cut flush and sanded). It should hold enough records, as I plan to limit myself this time around. I have a Cherry slab (cutting board) that the TT actually sets on. The Cherry slab will sit on top of this stand with my Hudson HiFi Bigfoot silicone isolation feet between the two surfaces. I plan to Ebonize the stand, then finish with Arm-R-Seal (much to Doug's dismay).

I believe that Amazon music let's you store your own music files in your cloud locker. There's always the chance that I'm mistaken.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't still use iTunes?

RIP Mr. Nash.

I hear that Fred had quite the libido.

This is exactly why I started my new business... T.I.C.E. Terminating Incompatible Contemporary Equipment. All you need to do is package up that pesky, unused gear, and ship it to me for proper disposal. We are a zero landfill disposal business, so you need feel no guilt whatsoever.

Wow. RIP Eddie.

I think that if you have a cell mate that's not the side that you need to worry about locking!

If that's not an audio store, that person has a problem.

I'm hoping the next M&O joint is a turntable stand, with record storage underneath. I haven't discussed this with Milo yet.

You're just gaining valuable experience for old age. I feel that way every time I go into a different room.

I find myself increasingly enjoying the fiddling. It takes me back to a lost time. I'm even getting back into vinyl, partly because of the fussy nature. I like the preparation before listening. It makes it more of an event. Background music has its place, but I find myself wanting to let the music take me somewhere, not unlike when I was a teenager and would get lost in music, and the hobby of audio. I would spend a lot of time fiddling with my gear, taping sessions and so on. My friends would bring over albums and we'd spend hours listening and recording them. They learned that if they bought the album for me to keep, I'd make them a better cassette tape of it than they could buy. Music has always pulled me through life. It took me to a better place, or helped me grieve some of the things I felt I couldn't control. It kept me company before I learned how to be a social being. I guess it's an old friend.

So should we call that Twang Chung?

You must live in one of those cold places. I remember stocking up on models to build in winter.

My point is that generally, as the title of this thread alludes to, we have a favorite headphone that we use most of the time. For me it's the K1000, and I'll walk through the house to listen to them first.

It's gonna take a pretty big tortilla!

Nice choice!
