I totally understand, I've just gotten past the learning curve on copper.. not pex. So I wasn't going to trust my own handiwork with that stuff, being totally new to it.
I bid on a vintage Altec Lancing 421 bass speaker on eBay. The seller was selling as is and had no way to check it with a meter. He mentioned it was from a storage auction, had a few speakers and Hammond organ stuff. From the pics it looked nice so I rolled the dice. Few days later it shows up. 😡 He obviously has no clue how speakers work. He put a bunch of bubble wrap ( the big bubble kind) in the cone, placed cardboard over it, then wrapped the driver in more bubble wrap, then into a box that wasn't quite deep enough for the driver. 🤦🏻♂️
I swear I was sick to my stomach when I saw this, not to mention the VC measured fine. Fuck.
What a sad day.
Went to a local vineyard festival before moving on to a free concert today. I swear it seems our area is yet to be discovered. There was barely anyone at the concert. Felt like room temp outside, can't complain. We saw Bee Taylor, and J & the Causeways, but Red Clay Strays is probably finishing up there about now.
You are one seriously talented badass, Brad! I would be scared to death, having a paint job like those, for fear that I would damage it, every time that I went out for a rip. Glenn
I just flew back in from Denver after the Troublesomefest gig in Grand Lake. Amazing time all around! The people were incredible, and the crew were top notch pros that all brought their A game. I got to hang with a ton of really cool musicians and met a collection of very interesting and eccentric characters... my kind of people! We opened the show with a brand new tune that Rebekah threw our way 2 weeks before the show. We came up with our parts, ran it twice, then took it to the stage.

After investing $80 in a crimping tool, I love using PEX. With zero experience I roughed in my kitchenette in an hour.

You did not get what you paid for in that you bought it as was...
Make a claim with the seller explaining that they did the damage. If they don't take care of you claim with eBay.
That just sucks!
Always a crapshoot on eBay, that's for sure.
Yeah I started a claim.
Tig 'ol middie.

Wow, my query posted in a weird spot. It was in comment to JR. I have no idea what that meant showing orthogonal view of big dome.

Did you lay the flames out, Brad? If so, I might have a cabinet design in mind...
...and I'm fairly sure that has '39 Ford headlight trim.
Yes. It’s been my specialty for 20+ years.

That's awesome, sir!
Fantastic 3D imagery - the white sections going back looks elevated, and in motion.
Very impressive!

That's a nice setup, Drew. I used to have in laws in Hamilton. Makes me want a big plate of getta(sp?)
