The Monkey Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Dew eet, Dinny! If I had just a little bit more room on my desk...But I think the wife would kill me.
tyrion Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 I will let you know how the A5's are when they arrive. They are smaller than the Quads.
Salt Peanuts Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Yeah they would probably replace the HK soundsticks hooked up to the Mac Pro. Can you send me the contact info for this guy? Damn, this really is turning out to be a Quad week here. If I had just a little bit more room on my desk...But I think the wife would kill me. I hear ya. I'm tempted as hell, but with few upcoming house renovations/repairs, no fun fund for me here unless I sell things and I'm too lazy.
The Monkey Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 I will let you know how the A5's are when they arrive. They are smaller than the Quads. We have bamboo floors, so the WAF would be better, but I have the A2s and I'm not a huge fan. Quads or nothing!
n_maher Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 We have bamboo floors, so the WAF would be better, but I have the A2s and I'm not a huge fan. Quads or nothing! Solution - contact the seller of the 12's (since he's a dealer) and tell him to hunt you down a pair of 11L's. Also, get off your ass and list one of the DAC's on Audiogon.
VPI Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 I got a pair in Rosewood. I have been tempted by all the praise they get here. They will undoubtedly beat out my soundsticks.
morphsci Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 We have bamboo floors, so the WAF would be better, but I have the A2s and I'm not a huge fan. Quads or nothing! The A2s are not a good indication of what the A5s sound like.
VPI Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 I guess it is a good thing I cleaned up the desk last night as my Quads have already been delivered. Now I just have to see if they will work in the limited space I have for them.
Salt Peanuts Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 What finish is that? EDIT - Never mind, I missed your earlier post stating it's Rosewood.

Salt Peanuts Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 Amazon.com: All New Square Foot Gardening: Grow More in Less Space! (9781591862024): Mr. Mel Bartholomew: Books
Salt Peanuts Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 As in no yard? I haven't read through the whole thing yet (I had it on loan from library until yesterday) but if I remember correctly, the book does talk about making smaller (1'x1' or 2'x2') boxes w/ bottom (and drainage holes) to use on decks/patios. I should have my copy tomorrow.
Salt Peanuts Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 no yard, no deck or patio all my plants are potted. Balcony? I'll check to see if it talks about indoor/potted plants. I either skipped or didn't read carefully if the information didn't pertain to me so it's a real possibility the book talks about it and I just don't remember it.
Salt Peanuts Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 Well, if it's any consolation, I have a backyard that is only green because moss grows on it - not enough sunlight as the backyard is surrounded by trees (state forests). My gardens will be going on the front yard where it actually gets some sunlight.
luvdunhill Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 very soon, this once I figured out how to get it home: Woodcraft is going to honor the 10% off Jet, Powermatic thingy they were having a while back.. which is strange, as it's not on their website, but looks like they'll be hooking me up. This the next model up from the one Dr. Wood recommended, which gives a total of 12" native resaw capacity with no riser block, and a two speed drive system. From talking around, people recommended the two speed for metalworking. The speeds are 1500/3000 SFPM with a 105" blade. Also, has a blade guard that the lower model didn't as well as blade tracking window, which seems handy. Anyways, I'm really excited about getting my second star on my man card.. I heard the main requirement was a 250 lb tool for the second star... ... oh and a house.

Due to modern technology decreasing the weight of tools and other expensive stuff the rule has been changed to a cost based formula.
mypasswordis Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 I heard the main requirement was a 250 lb tool for the second star... Give me 40 years and a couple thousand Big Macs and I'll get it done.
Pars Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 Congrats on the new house Marc. Oh, yeah, nice bandsaw also
luvdunhill Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 yeah, waiting for funding right now... and debating on whether or not to head over there and use the fact that I social engineered the garage code to get in before we get the keys
n_maher Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 (edited) very soon, this once I figured out how to get it home: http://www.woodcraft.com/Images/products/842967.jpgNice! I should be picking up something similar in the next week or so once I settle in on what exactly I need. I might go with a smaller, bench sized one since I'll primarily be cutting aluminum with it and won't need more than 6" or so. Although it's equally likely that mine will look like this: ... oh and a house. Congrats again and best of luck with the move. [edit]and since it just arrived, the last thing I bought was this: Edited March 26, 2010 by n_maher
Voltron Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 no yard, no deck or patio all my plants are potted. All your plants are belong to us! And congrats on the house Marc!
