Haha this is funny

you only need to use the searh tool that is linked in my signature to find what you are looking for. Granted the damping scheme changed a few times after this pic was taken..but you get the idea.

Thanks. Consequently I stumbled on faust3d's wiki site with illustration (sorry I'm really new to orthos - but am glad I found it after searching for the ''king of mids" headphones):

Since this is the TP (or T50 mods?) thread, I think this will be helpful if updated on the OP, Br777 please? :) unless this is exclusive to TPs.

Thanks for the tips smeggy and sachu! 

Well, If Br777 doesn't mind maybe we'll just keep this as our thread for modding the T50rp. I think I'm going to get my wood tomorrow or friday, so I'll be sure to post pics.

Dis be srrz bizzness yo.

I think I said I'm planning on building these earlier in the thread. Planning since Smeggy first posted the dimensions actually. Won't be able to make them until winter break though.

I think the Leakypants deserve an honorable mention. I want to make a pair of those too.

@Br777, if you could just post those [helpful] links on your OP. Still I hope more people could post their TP photos.

Hey there guys, my search for wood has brought me to ebay

what does everyone think of this?

The main issue that i'm having is not knowing how thick of a piece i need. can somone sugest a thickness for me please? thanks!

I always figured 1- 1 1/2 inch because they look to be about the thickness of an O2 pad.

Yup, about 1 inch give or take. You can always buy the thicker one and saw them in half anyways. something that leaves a margin say 2 inches would be nice too I think, because you'll be able to cut out strips for the mounting brackets as well.

The thickness depends on if you're going to be using a lathe. If you're using a lathe then you need to make sure you have enough thickness so you can turn a tenon and mount it in a jaw chuck. If you have no idea what I'm saying then your probably not using a lathe.

For the lathe users, i'd recommend buying a blank of 3'' in thickness and above so you have room to work with. Also, I'm fairly sure you'll need a 4 jaw chuck so if you don't have one you'd better get one.
