the wood need not be anything special. a softer, heavier (heavier being most important) wood would be best. a low price would be good as well.
and by high quality i mean free of imperfections. no cracks, knots... anything like that.
what type of non powered tools are used to shape wood? where is a cheap place to get them?
i have some wood working tools available to me.... mostly saws, a drill press, and some dremel tools. what attachments are usefull for wood shaping?
also, what is the type of foam used in ear muff type hearing protectors? where can i get it?
i want to mod my ultrasones. i will not be taking the current ear peices apart. i was planning on making some cups to go around them. i would add another backing onto the current one so that i may add more passive ambient noise reduction and so that i may make the housing less likely to vibrant causing coloration of sound. then i was going to add a ring onto that that would allow me to use leather beyedynamic pads in place of the current pads. this would make the can more comfortable. then i would take the rs-1 headband, remove the c-clamp portion and fix a new one of my own making in it's place. the grado on would probably not be able to fit on the new cups.
any tips?
