    New Control Room Desk Pics

    Just put this desk together. I really like the way it looks. Damn thing ways about 200 pounds too. I'll be dropping down the computer monitor shelf in the middle to get a better view of the live room. Can't wait to build in my racks underneath. If anyone's interested I got it at Office Max...

    Trim Around Doors When Using Resilient Channel

    A while back someone asked what to use for trim around doors when your walls have resilient channel installed. In my situation, I used RC1 channel and 5/8" sheetrock on the walls. Where it ends at the door is a "gaping" gap. Found just the thing to fit. It's called "brick mold" and you can...

    Air Conditioning is In

    Yes I finally got it installed. Did everything myself except installing the freon lines and charging the system. That cost me $275. It took me forever but I really saved a lot of $$. My total cost came to about $700. This was with a used 3 ton system. What a difference! Now I can work out...

    Otari Mtr 10ii-c

    Anyone familiar with this deck? What was it's original purpose? There's one on eBay that'll go cheap because it has to be picked up in Charlotte, NC. About 3 or 4 days left on the auction. Hmmm, that's about 400 miles from here. Not out of the question if I could figure out why I need it :D...

    Piezo Plates Dampin Feedback of Acoustic Guitar

    Go Here: http://www.nature.com/nsu/030602/030602-8.html Of course it only has a "slight" effect on the guitar tone by killing some of the natural resonance. Try sticking one of these on someone's $5,000 Martin. :eek: DD
