DOH!

Actually - this is Palmer's Cat here - pictured in a local newpaper;


The cat didn't enjoy travelling in a banana box and escaped.
Mr Temperton told the court he had joked he would toss it out the window.

Woof(er)!

My T39 @ 14, BP102 loaded come in between 44 and 48 pounds. That's with 1/2" ply, and 1/4" braces. Great job as always.

Maybe a layer of rubber between the plates on either side on the wood would dampen the vibrations. If the vibration is caused by the movement of air, maybe you need wheels with brakes that can be applied when in use.

How do other manufactures handle there wheels that vibrate?

I agree with just getting a hand truck for the subs. (saves on each sub cost)
Actually it comes in handy when loading in the rest of the gear anyway.

OK - sound check done - refer Review section.

I'd never give up the wheels on my T39s. After spending $600-700 on a pair of subs.....what's another $20?

$20 just for the cost of the wheels - not much. All the other stuff you have to do on the T39 lite though when clients are trying to screw you to the floor over price - that's another story.

Build it like normal and run the trusty siamese saw through the corner?

Yeah, I guess building 'em for someone else is a different issue. The wheels did take a while and some thought to get 'em right.....but it was my time for my boxes, so I didn't mind. I can see how it kinda' cuts into the profits on a client build.

Most of the guys I know just wrap some thin string round one end of the axle - the casters dont spin quite so freely but they don't rattle much either.

Here's my solution.....

I took wooden paint stirrers, cut a couple of two inch sections off the end, glued one piece on each side, then covered with some rat fur....a little glue and some staples.

Then just shove 'em between the wheel and the housing. It's a compression fit. Real easy to put 'em in and take 'em out.....since it's already got a handle.

I love the picture titles - "Castor Silencers" - a brand new product hits town

Very clever Bruce. It's a great idea. . .easy to make and cheap too!

Ok....all right...fine then...yes...just maybe...I might be influenced in putting wheels on subs if clients insist and are willing to pay extra for not only the structural mods but also "Castor Silencers" ....

The offer of a collapsible hand cart however will always precede.....

Taking the absolute shortest amount of time for constrution and using the cheapest materials ---> MDF so thick it does not need bracing, or moulded plastic; simple as that.
