Wow nico....wicked!

 

[Kees]

Wow! 
Those are by far the most beautiful I've ever seen.
Congratulations, well done!

 

[nickchen]

Thank you.

  I'm expecting reduced demand for my other woods in future...

 

[apatN]

Niiiiice work. You should dub them "Cow-cups". 

 

[nickchen]

Quite an idea...

 

[Dar_T]

I don't know if this has been answered and I don't have the patience to sift through 88 pages but can the liberators be plastic? I found some that are the perfect size but are plastic not wood. Also do you just use hot glue to attach them?

 

[gknix]

You can use tape, glue, bluetac to attach them. It's up to you if you want to make it a permanent or reversible mod.
 
Plastic HAS been done before(I think), but wood is the most preferred way. Someone named the plastic or I think it was PVC pipe? mod called the MS-100 mod I believe. But the pads were not the Salad bowls, so I have no idea what it'll be like

Anybody have an opinion on if the aluminum set on jaben would sound good. You would probably have to drill the 3 holes and attach some dampening in the aluminum, but other than that do you think they would sound asgood as a wood set?

 

[apatN]

^ IMO I don't believe in different materials for distancers. Perhaps if you don't dampen the inner side of the distancers, then yes, they could well make a difference. However, I strongly prefer distancers with felt in them. With felt installed the chosen material should not matter all that much.
