Thunderpants (T50RP mod) Group Buy
The Dragons were completed a couple of weeks ago. I really like doing the carvings and still have a couple of sets to go. One set I spent a long time doing ended up lost in the mail so I'm having to redo them. The poor guy had been waiting ages for them too. I'm sorry all this is taking longer...- smeggy

I've tried a huge number of baffle materials trying to find that 'ideal' material that is rigid, strong, light and relatively easy to work with and the search continues. I even used Corian once and it made a huge dusty mess of my whole shop. I tried paperstone, phenolic sheet, particle board...- smeggy

Yes, those baffles are plexiglass. I haven't used plain wood in a long time as it's prone to split, I've been using high grade ply because it's very stable and strong. I wanted to use plexiglass because of it's industrial strength but the stuff is a real pain to work with so only a few...- smeggy

Yeah, I had all kinds of going wrong for a while and it was incredibly frustrating not being able to give anyone any positive news until I could get it figured out. It's quite a relief to get back to a more normal state where I can get things done again instead of pulling my hair out. It's hard...- smeggy

Hi Guys, sorry for missing Xmas but I haven't forgotten you! So, updates... I'm working around the clock to get these done as quickly as possible, and as with any small startup I've talked to, I've been having my share of problems. I had a couple of custom orders to do which ended up...- smeggy

Hi all, sorry about going dark for a while, I'm slaving away to get things done and it is taking a lot of time but progress is being made and I'm still hoping to get a bunch out before Christmas. This business thing is a lot more involved than I imagined and I'm still having some problems...- smeggy

Thunderpants!
Sorry about that, Funch, I've been getting so buried in mails I've been losing track of some things. I've never had this much to do before and It's proving really difficult to keep up with the volume as well as making phones and knives and everything else going on. I'm not trying to ignore...- smeggy

Ok, I sent the final pricing off to Brenton with confirmations of all materials and options. Only thing I don't currently have is finish preference... gloss, semi, satin, flat etc. I'll assume gloss unless otherwise specified. If you want other than gloss, let me know. Cheers G- smeggy

No problems, actually the macassar has become the hardest to get and most expensive for some reason. I finally tracked down a batch of blackwood and ziricote. You were not the only blackwood buyer and I now have enough blackwood put aside to cover everyone who wanted it and more. Macassar...- smeggy

Hopefully there will be an option on the list for finish and termination, if not I'll add those myself. The final pricing should be done soon and we can get down to business with the final parts I need to order (pads, plugs and some wood) I already have most of what I need here but there are...- smeggy

Thunderpants! A world-class closed planar magnetic headphone by Head-Fi'er "Smeggy" - Head-Fi TV, Episode 012
Yes, getting totally swamped and it'll probably be a little while before I have anything up for sale on the site again due to the orders I have to complete. On the positive side, I have been updating my workshop with bigger and better tools to do things faster and working in batches of parts...- smeggy

Hey all, running a little late here. I'm still in the process of looking through the list, tracking down supplies, rearranging my shop, getting new tools and making phones so it's been a bit hectic here. I have already started on the standard parts, tracked down most of what I need and...- smeggy

I can't extend the GB at this time, I have too many other orders coming in and I'll be buried in work for some time. On the positive side, more headphones and supplies are inbound!- smeggy
