Great job. I wish I had your abilities.

You have more patience than I.

 

[JonTee]

Truly inspirational! You made quick work out of a project that will probably take me a better part of a month. Nice:thmbsp:!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments. I really enjoy wood working and refinishing in particular. I like the instant gratification of seeing what you have done. Also, I enjoy bringing a speaker or piece of gear back to it's original splendar.

Great work, Wards - now you understand why I say I would rather work on the cases than on the electronics. Wood talks to you.

Here is a pic with one of the original tweeters installed. I just taped the DIY foam ring inplace. I'm buying a set of tweeters from a fellow member and have factory foam coming for them.

As a famous band leader use to say " Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful" I'll say one other thing seeing those is getting me antsy to get started on a pair of Genisis Model II's I've been kicking around wanting to do.
A great big thanks.
