Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II


“For those who want the moon but can't afford it or those who can afford it but like to have fun and work with their hands, I'm willing to give out a recipe for a true high-end 'table which is easy to do, and fun to make as sky's the limit on design/creativity! The cost of materials, including 'table, is roughly $200 (depending, more or less), and add to that a Rega tonearm. The results are astonishing. I'll even tell/show you how to make chipboard look like marble and fool and impress all your friends. If there's interest I'll get on with this project, if not, I'll just continue making them in my basement. The next one I make will have a Corian top and have a zebra stripe pattern! Fun! Any takers?”

Let the saga continue. Sail on, oh ships of Lenco!

That's why I went with Corian some years ago. Good looking, not too bad to work with, fairly easily shaped, very dead and dense with good mass.

Enjoy,

I'm still in Greece, the weather and company are just too fine, and last summer was, quite frankly, crappy, time to make up for it, so I keep adding weeks to my initial 3-week voyage. Staying away from Da Net as its a holiday, and also because availability is so spotty on this isolated and undeveloped Greek island. I'll be stopping by in Athens on the way back to discuss record players and shop for vinyl in Monastiraki :-)!! See ya all next week, for real this time ;-)!! Lots of excellent audio experiments to begin the moment I return, and already being set up to boot. Can't keep a good analog-er down. Thanks to Dave for passing on my news, and apologies to everyone for constantly changing my itinerary. See you soon for more audio adventures!! Yamas, time for my daily Greek salad :-).
