Pretty cool stuff. He has a pretty old school workshop with very heavy cast iron three phase machines. It take a good bit of skill to run them. That was a nice little trick to replace the sanding disk without moving the table. I am surprised he did not have a power feeder on his jointer.



The finishing process was also pretty old school and gives a classic look. I would prefer Awl Grip which is a polyester based high gloss polyurethane topcoat. It is difficult to spray correctly and is very toxic. Guys that work with 700 plus volts DC are not to worried by toxic...lol

I don't know where the Walnut he is using comes from. It looked like eight quarter stock. That cost around $8.00 per board foot in Quartersawn material here.

It is hard to tell much about the amp from the photos. Perhaps Trever could comment on that.
It looked to be mono. 20,000 pounds for stereo ?? You would need a good vinyl and CD collection! I have around 5 or 6 hundred CD's someone need to buy!

Lovely stuff.

EDIT: Those are some heavy transformers.
