Belle Klipsch ... Refinish

[mudshark]

LOL ....Thats what I'm talkin about

 

[laatsch55]

SHIT had to rethink that ..... It was 34 years ago .... dam dam dam. A little more on topic I had my first Klipsch experience in 73 ... WAS HOOKED couldn't afford em but was hooked

On topic is futile.....you will be assimilated....

True Ron, any dummie can pull up to a crane and have shit set with a crane...takes a man to back up a 16 foot ramp with 120,000lb draworks just outside your back window and stop just before you drive off the end and then push the drawtool off your bed and on to the rig floor.....that's FUCKIN RIG MOVIN.....your basic 10,000 ft , 30 load rig could be laying down the derrick when you pulled up in the morning and that sucker could be completely tore down, moved 60 miles and rigged up and drilling the mouse hole and rat hole before dark......in the dead of winter. Now it takes em a fuckin week....

Your oldschool Lee, I almost like to think of you like John Wayne in that movie Hell Fires or whatever it was called about the dudes that put out the well fires. I could see you in that role easily

 

[mudshark]

LOL ... I'm good DIGGIN IT

 

[laatsch55]

Oh yeah, blowin shit up is a hobby of mine......God's truth. Ask any of the workover crews around here. I'll wait until they are seriously involved doing something then break out the big propane torch and a can of ether.....now THAT get's their attention...

 

[mudshark]

Thats funny .... worked in one shop .... They didnt know what to think of me, they heated with wood used to grab a half can of either when no one was lookin and toss it in the wood stove and then just go back to work HELL I even would go past em with a can of spray paint and paint a line on the floor in front of em when they asked why I told em I just wanted to see if they were movin

 

[laatsch55]

Nothing like a large mushroom fireball first thing in the morning....

 

[laatsch55]

The secret is a HALF CAN of ether, a full one is not near as noisy...a bigger fireball for sure but not as noisy...

 

[laatsch55]

A cup of liquid nitrogen in a 2 liter pepsi bottle and screw the cap on and set in the sunlight.....THAT'S A GOOD ONE....

 

[mudshark]

Thats no shit .... the stove was a home built POS 3'x4' 6' tall but it heated the shop pretty fair ... it was all fun and game till I blew the door off then I had to stop, made your heart race and man what a cloud of ash ... even tho I knew it was comin it was still a fuckin rush .... never seen the fire ball bet its NICE

 

[laatsch55]

On a clear dark night.....simply awesome...

 

[Gepetto]

And I thought I was coming to this thread to figure out how to refinish my speakers...

That is the beauty of Phoenix. Never know where the thread has twisted

 

[laatsch55]

Now that's funny.....Joe....you OF ALL PEOPLE know better than that!!

 

[Gepetto]

You bet I do Lee.

 

[mudshark]

Well Joe .... I really tried to keep it on track ..... NOT but we had fun playin with the pencils on the bench there ...... kinda like a regular conversation wanderin all over the place

The first speaker is done, the weather is not right to do the second one, yet so we gotta talk about something. Might as well be something warm since the reason for holding off on the second Belle was cold.

Nice work on that first one. I always liked the finish on Klipsch speakers. It is like they use a couple more finer grades of sandpaper before they are done compared to the rough wood used on other speakers.

Now back to the fireball discussions.
