Now thats funny.

My vision is downright horrible, -5.25 in the left, and -5.75 in the right.

fuxored up glasses will do it, I need to get some new ones here shortly.

It is going to be a very kickass piece of work.

Need to order some 4" pipe, 1.5" square tubing, and .75" square tubing from the local steel place and start work on my new entertainment center.

But I have to go to class in 5min anyways so I just don't care to much.

The guy isn't even talking in English...

So it appears there is a guy here in the Engg library playing World of Warcraft, and using a mic, very annoying.

Just finished watching the movie Kingdom of Heaven. That is a good movie.

Your buying new maggies and I just put mine away behind a couch.

I was kind of thinking of staying on the East Coast, but...need any help? Someone with a business background might come in handy Sure.

Basically I love learning new skills, working with my hands, and tedious work at a desk just bores me to death, I don't work in that environment. This job is like all my hobbies rolled into one place, getting paid for it, and the ability to work on personal projects too.

So I might be here at the college (Kansas State University) for a Long time. I work in the Civil Engg shop, basically we make whatever professors what for research apparatuses, maintenance on the machines, fixing machines, that sort of thing. We have a decent welding, metal, and wood shop, nothing wonderful, couple lathes, horiz and vert bandsaws, table saw, jointer, planar, chop saw, TIG/MIG/ARC welders, plasma torch, etc, etc. I absolutely love this job and this type of work, not working at a desk, the work varies all the time, no routine boring bs to do. We get to make new stuff all the time, decent people, etc, etc. My boss is retiring soon and the two professors that deal with the shop the most want me to take his job when he retires and get trained on the MTS machines to help with the testing of beams out there. So I would work part-time untill my boss retires, then I'd be in charge of the entire shop, be able to finish my degree (EE) then work there full time. They are looking at paying 44k per year which is plenty to keep me here, the living expenses here in Manhattan are not much and I like the town a lot. So I'm seriously thinking of working with this and possibly perusing this job, this would allow me to work in a place with a shop, work with my hands and not at a desk (that would drive me insane, I don't think I could do that), and give me access to a shop that I can use for personal use anytime. What I would dearly love to do is open my own custom home audio/hi-fi shop and build custom home audio speakers and do custom installs for people. This job would allow me to get a business like that off the ground, still have a shop until I can piece one together myself and still work in a job that I enjoy. I just wanted to put my thoughts somewhere, I've been rolling this around in my head for about a week now and not sure what I'm going to do.

Damn, already tired of this class chit already.

The schematic will be on QSC's website.

fudge it, I'm going to bed.

Quarter of a bottle of Johnny Walker Black label and I haven't even felt it...

I figured I might as well post some pictures while I'm building the Mileva's... It will be updated as it progresses. Plans. http://homepage.mac.com/tlinespeakers/FAL/...-1v0-021207.pdf Stacks of lumber The braces. Internal baffles with the 5* angle from the tablesaw. (There is another set too, just didn't photograph them) The sides drying on a back baffle. I'll post more pictures as it progresses.

And I'm out, later ya'll.

Good luck on the final!

I know, but I was in a hurry and didn't have a camera with me Thanks for the compliments guys, I really like the way they turned out and its nice to know that I'm not the only one who likes 'em. Neil: find at either a local community college or your college they will probably do woodworking/cabinetry classes and take a few so you can learn some of the tricks of the trade and get use to using decent equipment. If you have a good teacher its amazing what you can learn. *I've been working with wood for probably 6 years, started out building furniture*

Thats because I built them in about 3hrs. Just put some cherry vinyl laminate that I had laying around on them tonight. Thanks for the compliments guys.

Finally done with the Mileva's, build log updated so go check it out.

Here is the final round of photos. They are up and running in my basement. The subs are running in stereo and are MAW 15's. Basically, it sounds amazing.

While watching the Barret Jackson auction on Speed channel, the roommie was drooling over the '54 vettes because they have one at home sitting in the garage being put together, and he wants it done something awful. Theirs is even a factory black '54 Vette which I understand is very, very, rare.
