My favourite corner in the world...

I almost agree. You need another Coke.

Head-Fi gear and Coke are my two addictions.

Beautiful work!! How do you plan to finish the wood?

You have a couple tools I oogled for decades but never sprung for (larger/stronger table saw w/wide & deep table; oscillating sander; probably more I can't see).

This is made from a 200+ year old white oak lost in an ice storm years ago. I still have a little quarter sawn left and plan to finish with Rubio Monocoat.

Finished my woodworking project - 2" thick Black Walnut Live Edge shelf. Figured I needed something to hold the 70+lbs of Woo Audio WA5-LE...

Impressive !! What are you using for the legs?

1" Glavanized 5" threaded pipe, into floor-mount fittings, and pipe caps. About $80 in parts at the hardware store.

That's a very handsome slab of wood! Did you sand & seal the exposed edges?

 

[Pharmaboy]

ah, the Kuro!

Is that a Kuro?

My first high-def TV was a 720p 42" Kuro. Still have it; the picture is still terrific looking. At that time nothing else came close to plasma IMHO.

To this day the Kuro occasionally pops up in video reviews as a comparator (from the old days) to some newbie OLED or QLED design.

Yessir. Sanded, coated with Danish Oil, then 3-4 coats of Polycrilic (clear).

Yes, those old plasma 720p 42” still look good! They quit making them due to cost, not enough profit for manufacturers. I also have a 42” 1080p plasma that I will keep forever!
