Show Me Your ThunderPantses!

[ujamerstand]

huh. I learn something new everyday. I've been advised to protect the wooden finishes of my headphones with lemon oil. I didn't know there would be nuances between treatment of different finishes. So say my wood piece has been applied a layer of grain filler and polished, do I have to do anything to protect this finish?

[butte]

woohoo...that was close..lucky that i haven't bought anything yet, and even more lucky that i haven't apply anything yet on the W1000.

guess that dust it is the way to go now..

thanks a million brother..

If grain filler is the only thing on the wood I'd recommend a finish, lacquer, Tung Oil or something similar to add a protective coat. Unless it's Cocobolo, which polishes up great and really doesn't need any finish. If they have grain filler I'm assuming they're Mahogany or a similar wood?

Because he couldn't spell derriere?

i did grain filler -> a wipe on poly it wont need any upkeep

[ujamerstand]

Didn't expect to see you here momomo. I'll keep that in mind.

haha..will try to use it in the future..

it's something to do with my nickname during university time and the way how they pronounce it in my place, so I did carry on using it..

hope you don't mind atothex..

If it's good enough for the British Museum...

The stuff I use - a little goes a long way.

Not sure how easy this stuff is to get abroad. I had to send a cheque to the guy - who clearly operates out of his home, for some of this stuff.

Oh - and don't let the missus start using it to polish your furniture with it. Unless you love that furniture very very much. I seem to remember it's around $15 for the 200ml can.

if i ruled the universe, all "delicately treated" woods would be finished in tung-oil. i prefer poly on my floors and marine spar varnish on my not-so-domesticated rough-n-tough snow-shoes though.

How about those DIY Thunderpants?

Here's one of mine. The Jarrah Burl Pants!

What are "DIY Thunderpants"? Does that mean Thunderpants not DIY'd by Smeg?

[Dusty Chalk]

Well, if one got Smeggy to do it, then one didn't do it one's self...

[grawk]

There are 2 ways to look at it. 1, flattering to smeggy that someone thought enough of his work to copy it, and 2, grounds for shovelling. I think both should apply.

Indeed. Which reminds me that someone needs to do a Beatles remake entitled "Jacob's Silver Shovel." I think it has possibilities.

[HeadphoneAddict]

I would think Smeggy would encourage people to use his design, as long as they don't profit from it or try to pass it off as his own work.

[Smeggy]

heh, I posted rough plans and how-to's over there so people could make their own if they wanted.

[grawk]

ok, I won't shovel him then

[swt61]

I don't think he should be allowed to use the same name. However since they are definitely an homage to Smeggy, I think he should just have to lose the first two letters.

[Fitz]

I think I speak for everyone when I say we don't want to hear about someone making DIY Smeggy Underpants though.

[Bigrock2150]

Yikes, I didn't know my post would cause so much controversy. I'm from Head-fi and Smegggy has been helping us (around 5-6 people) as we make our own Thunderpants.

Please don't "shovel" me? I'll have to check what that means but I think I get the point. I don't plan on selling them nor do I plan on changing what I call them. I think smeggy knows that I have no intention of smearing his name in anyway.

That alone usually does the trick.

[The Monkey]

I think this one is going to be ok.

[Dusty Chalk]

I think since it's Smeggy-approved, I'm going to have to disagree with you on that.

[swt61]

I think you missed the joke.

[Smeggy]

it was pretty cool at the seattle meet last saturday, I took four sets, one I did with black leather cups made as an experiment and gave them as a door/raffle prize and Alex of Audeze wanted to borrow a set, he has my testers now so I came home two sets lighter it was fun meet and good to get back into it and meet old and new buds between all the other shit I have to do.

All in all a good day.
