Tiny speaker update

I'm still working on the very small speakers my friend sent me home with the other day. They're Goodwins Maxims, and I think I will be able to make them look beautiful (see the speaker to the right). The wood is NOT walnut, but I'm adding a bit of red mahogany stain to make the sides, tops, and bottoms look good. The sound of these speakers is incredible, especially for the size. I am not surprised that they're commanding 700 Euros on the used market. Wish me continued luck. How is your Saturday treating you?

Quiet day. Getting dinner going and football games on. Looks like some extra candy there to help you with your project.

Exactly. But I didn't have any kids come by after Horse Jr. left.

@wolfgirl569 Especially given that I tend to wear no clothing when at home alone.

If I did a though cleaning here, I believe I could reduce the probability of my apartment crashing through to the one below during the next 5.0 or greater earthquake.

Are you going to keep them, or sell them after you refinish them?

They were going to go back to the wife of the fella that passed away. But our bass player has become so enamored of them, he may keep them. They are REALLY good.

You'd get more work done if you weren't eating all those candy bars.

@porwest I will be barring the door. In fact I may eat them all up right now. Just to avoid conflict. Or maybe I'll brew up some coffee.

@TheHorse If they are mini peanut butter cups I am coming over and raiding your fridge. Those things are my nemesis.

It was a Fall California day today, 63 degrees F and not particularly uncomfortable.

What make cleaning "deep"? Do you think about philosophy while cleaning?

Mine was quiet too. The speaker on the right reflects (more or less) what they will look like when done.

Until ten minutes ago, I would have said no. But I gobbled up a small Snickers bar while sanding a surface on the unfinished one just now.
