What did you do in your garage today..?

Forum Sponsor
Just finishing up one of the last items on my sohc project. Cleaning and buffing up the switch gear. As an Industrial Designer my sense of form follows function leads me to a preference for a minimalist design. Taking this to the Nth degree I ground out all of the text. Look close and you can see that I was so anal that on the red indicator switch I sanded the text off the top and removed the now superfluous second arrow.
For some reason the photo doesn't do my polishing justice. Both pieces look like chrome.

I had a pair of old school Mission bookshelf speakers and recently picked up a like new Yamaha amp with Bluetooth for $100 on Kijiji.Got an unlimited amount of music and podcasts on Spotify without having to swap out cd’s with my greasy hands.Best $100 I’ve ever spent.Does anyone still use cd’s ?

Yes. My new player holds 6 as compared to the 5 in my previous stereo.

I just tried to play a Neil Young song out in my garage and realized that he pulled his catalog from Spotify, so not exactly a perfect set up. Some might disagree.

I have his Decade album on cassette if that helps....
 
I needed some sound deadening mat for a a few keyboards I'm working on, but only ended up using like 1.5ft2 of the 36ft2 the box came with. Not uncommon people have gutted their Jeeps and plastered sound deadening everywhere as apparently if you do everywhere (floor, wheel wells, inside doors) it makes a noticeable difference. So tonight I've gutted the interior from the front seats back so tomorrow I can lay out and stick down some sound deadening. Hopefully it makes a difference. Luckily Jeeps are pretty easy to take apart, so I won't be into for too much time if it doesn't.

Here is kindof the look I'm going for (stolen image from the JL forum)

Yes it does make a difference. I have my CX7 partially done as well because I like clear music and hate any rattles whatsoever.

Do you have rollers? how warm is matt? This is an 80/20 program, fill in the field and if you have time/matt/energy left work on all the fiddly bits and cuts.

Yeah I bought a roller with it. Works well to make the stuff stick. Mat is just room temp.

I get what you mean. Having small areas without matt on it shouldn't change anything, but in my head I need to cover everything blue.

Yeah I forgot to mention it’s much easier to work with when it’s warm. Even in the summer it’s best to leave it in the sun for a bit so it’s pliable.
