swt61 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I just finished making the Wenge trim piece to overlay the damaged plinth on the Mitsubishi LT-30 that I bought a few months back. I'm happy with the way it turned out. There is a very slight lip that I milled that covers the top edge of the plinth where there were a few chips. Most of the damage had been at the corner of the plinth where something had struck it and crumpled the MDF. Here's a couple before and some afters...

hungrych Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 That's awesome! I should do that for my Denon DP-750 if I ever get it set up, since it has some edge damage too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I think I have material to make 2 more, so I'm thinking that I might hold onto them for future arm pods, and then I would fabricate other custom plates to fit the cutout of the particular arm I'm using. why not I'm thinking...

swt61 Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Yeah that sounds like a good idea. So is your arm pod going to be separate from your plinth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 WOWSERS!!! That looks really sweet. I think I will do that with my old Dual CS721. Let's see; Wood? Check. Tools? Check. Skill? I'll get back to you on that one \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is your arm pod going to be separate from your plinth? heh, there is no DIY table......... must not deviate........ There needs to be some sort of coupling between the arm and table, but the Nottingham approach of minimal coupling seems to be my cup of tea.

I'll get back to you on that one \ It's a great project to build some skill with. Just remember to check the accuracy of your 45 degree blade angle with a speed square. Take the time to lock it in at exactly 45 degrees, and the rest will fall into place. I like to use a perfectly square block of wood to clamp my corners to when gluing up the miters. Just use some wax paper to keep the work from sticking to the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
