Anybody seen these things? Either Bill gave this guy a license or he modified something to get around Bills designs. But damn they look similar

Re: Finishing cabs
Because that's life. Not everything can be "ideal", as corner placement, boundary placement, etc. We have to roll the way we can.

Re: Finishing cabs
Here's a few pics of different angles with Vortex. Don't mind the "pinkish" color, that was from some uplighting we had on the walls in the area... FYI, if any of you are Packer fans, this wedding was actually at Lambeau Field. Two of 12 are built and finished, 2 more will be sprayed this ...

Re: Finishing cabs
On latest builds, been using the new filler putty from Elmer's. Pro grade. Hardens in about 15 minutes. Sands real well. Very well. When done, the sanded portion looks just like wood and is hard as the wood. First two cabinets have been sprayed professionally with Vortex. Hard shell but not slippery...

Re: Has anyone actually used Okoume plywood?
Used it on first trial T30, with good success. 9 ply was what I used, about the same cost as birch, but much lighter and easier to handle. Wound up not being able to get more, so I used what I had in the same locations of the future Tuba's. Don' remember which parts, but they were all the same. The ...

Re: Northern Sound and Light
Been buying from them for a while on big ticket items... always been satisfied. The only thing you need to be cautious of is whether the item is "special" order or not. If special order it clearly states that the item is not returnable. I do miss my old sales rep though, he was great! That...

Wanted to mention what we have been doing with our T30S builds and Duratex. We are carpeting the cabs, to match our DJ booth and such we are currently upgrading. This is done to match everything in the systems, tour cases, etc... but what we have done is actually use Duratex (1-2 coats) on the finis...

Steve... I used Okoume on the very first Tuba Slim prototype (i.e. handle placement, top hats, hardware, etc...) I built. It was lighter... but also a little trickier to work with. Ultimately, I wound up using cabinet grade birch due to availability, and I am planning on building 8 Tuba 30 slims. Di...

Yep... do the same stuff here... vote of confidence... 1) Use the mineral spirits thing (w/ a black rag - - important!) to rub over the seams of the carpeting. Gets the overspray off and makes the seam harder to see. 2) Instead of using black spray under the carpeting, I actually put a rolled on coa...
