So the cans are not totally finished, but here are a bunch of pics and a bit of explanation.
It has to be said that everything showed here isn't just a overnight work it have taken months to do (not on full time), and there is a lot of work behind each little stupid detail.
First of all I have removed the grill clothes. Mostly because it looks cooler like this, but it does actually sound better.
Then I changed the cable a bit (still the old Grado cable inside).
With new cable pants.......
.......And a Viablue plug. I have to give this plug some credit; i have now used pailiccs, switchcraft and neutrik, but the viablue is just better than those in every ways.
I made a pair of metal "cup-holders" instead of the plastic yokes.
These are my new rod blocks (I haven't polished them yet). They are made out of tree aluminum parts each. .
Two of the parts are permanently connected to each other with a hinge and the last part is put in place by two small bolts.
I don't like these hinges, they're too vulnerable and they don't match the aluminum but i couldn't find any others, please post if you know where to get some in some non-brass-metal.
You can see on the left hinge that one of the nails is to centered, well everything can't go right.
I have glued some rubber from a cable to the inside of the "half holes" so i can adjust the rods without a screw.
It works like a sandwich.
Urgh.... it's very clear that they need to be polished in this picture.
So can you guess the point of all this metal.
Here you see to original Grado headbands with the pleather slided off.
All the parts lined up.
And here they're put together.
Double headband metallic goodness.
And collapsible!
Still need to be polished!
And here they are with the cups, and this is what's unfinished:
They need metal cups to be finished and actually a friend of mine are making them right now.
I'm also going to make or buy some kind of hardcover for them.
That what all for know hope i don't killed your internet with all these pictures.
