Surprised you didn't need any kind of filter for the drivers.
That's the beauty of fullrange, you don't need a crossover.
@@JohnHeisz Very nice. Some full range drivers need a notch filter to smooth out the response etc. Nice you found one that actually works well out of the box. Love the old consoles, but don't love how much room they took up. Very much like what you did here. Nice work as always sir.
@@JohnHeisz Some full range speakers have a little crossover type system built into them, usually a capacitor, small coil, and the like..
Oh and John, I've all but completed my version of your grey top saw..
all that's left is to make the support hinges for the drop-down table wing to the left side, which will house my router/jijsaw..
It's looking really good, and I'd like to email you some pictures if I could..
The only issue I have is a bit of sideways flex to the far end of the fence when it's pushed perpendicular. Seems it's moving from the fixing point to the T-bar where it sits on the clamping rail.. It flexes about 2-3mil if pushed, and I did consider the option of a far-end clamp by way of a rod and lever from the front cam handle, but now it's glued together, (with 3 stiffening blocks in it), that's not possible.
I may just make a heftier fence if it gives me the shits..
I'm running a 2.5hp drop saw motor which does 4800 rpm, 1:1 2" pulleys with a belt, and a 12" blade.. Doesn't even slow down through an inch of Spotted Gum Aussie hardwood (2470 on the Janka scale).
I get 94mil of cut depth at 90deg, and 65mil at 45 deg.. :D
Very nice project i think something like this would look a lot cooler under my TV than the store bought thing i have. Any plans on putting that new table saw as a project on makers mob?
am at the third motor on my current table saw but thinking about building the next one.
Using a hidden pico projector in the top, you could turn this into a stealth home theater system. I'm saving this video to my project list. When I'm finally moved into my forever home, I'm building something like this.
or an reverse-throw projector (also know as ultra short throw projectors), those don't need to be more than half a meter from the wall to make close to an 80" picture and since this system is ported in the rear it will need some clearance behind it anyway so half a meter from wall should not be difficult
I like the concept. Being an electronics guy, I'd have done that in my own style, but that's the beauty of DIY anyway... each has the signature of the maker.
That is a work of art. Would love to hear how it sounds. ❤️
Thanks Bonnie. It sounds great, better than I expected.
What amp did you use?
@@spikeafrica4652 I think this is D Class amp, something like Sure TA2024
It sure isn't difficult to get a little envious of his woodworking skills and assortment of equipment. Respect!
It looks like a lot of work went into the design with the Dayton audio drivers. They have a good measurement microphone too for little money. Combine that with measurement software like Arta, VituixCAD and Equalizer APO or a DAW and you have a lot of powerful tools to make it sound exceptional.
If you'd want to make a smaller version of this, Vifa (Peerless by Tymphany) TC9's are hard to beat. Do make sure you have the 8 ohm spec.
@@finnthehuman4928 I'm more leaning towards the typical Breeze Audio style amps that are based on the TPA3116
Just incredible! Thank you, John. I have learned so much watching your videos over the years. This build highlights your shear talent and skill in woodworking. If anyone leaves ones of those "if I had the tools" comments, just block them. This build took talent, experience, and the skill of a craftsman who has clearly mastered his craft. Great video.
Super cool. I, too, grew up with a massive (for a kid) Fisher Stereo cabinet in our living room which facilitated my mastery of the air guitar.
Wow John, this is an beautiful throw-back to when stereos and televisions were considered furniture. I really like how the cherry accents the oak. Also, it is because of your miter saw station video that I went out and got a biscuit joiner a few weeks ago and it was really nice to see you use that in so many configurations in this video. I didn't realize it was so versatile. Thank you for another really great video sir.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I was born in the late 70's and remember console tv's and stereo equipment. I really miss seeing such sexy furniture as that.
You’re something, John. You have my total admiration.
What a great memory lane console! And of course one thing takes to the other and now I´m preparing to hear music from the late 60s and early 70s, Thank you again John.
Somehow I found THIS in my subscription when I myself was searching console stereos ,which led me to Symbol Audio.
Brilliant build !
I love the stereo and I love the jigs you make, everything I see you make is quite unique and very useful. Thanks for sharing such great creative ideas.
A lovely piece, looks beautiful!
I grew up in the 80's and my parents had an old console stereo with a combination tuner & record player in it. The sound was deep and glorious. It wasn't near as fancy or mid century modern looking as the one you built but it was pretty cool. It was a piece of furniture more than anything. It was a monster. What you built is real artwork! I love it.
First Jon Peters, now you... i'm really beginning to like the idea of running the sapwood down the center. I should try it sometime. Turned out really nice.
It's a bold look, for sure. I think it has to be the right project to use it on,
Good to see again, that You care about musical equipment. Thanks for your continuous presence, John.
👌🏻👋🏻
What a great piece. Enjoyed seeing the techniques making it.
Love the style, love the project idea, love that you worked with roough lumber! So many good things in this video.
John, I knew it when I saw that gaff tape. You're still a sound guy at heart. Awesome video. Awesome project. That is one fine stereo!
Fantastic. I have grown to like the simplicity of the 60s also. Loved the video.
Groovy man! She's built like a brick house!
Gorgeous, John! Love it.
Just terrific John! Love the contrasting woods & overall look of that beauty! 👍👍👏👏
Very nice. An inspiration. I’m a leathercrafter with an interest in woodworking and find your vids informative, succinct, and concise. You have a plethora of fine tools as well. Thanks.
Really beautiful piece, John. Love the precision of your work.
Beautiful! Grew up with those myself. All you need now is a digital recreation of an 8 track when is switches tracks in the middle of a song...lol.
It's a wonder those are back in fashion today. The way it worked was the most interesting part, with just a single reel.
I had "Best of the Doobies" on 8-track, cassette, and CD. Sounded by far the best on the 8-track and the songs all fit so there were no interruptions.
Nice work on the modern console John! That really turned out very nice :) Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👍👌😎JP
Awesome! I go around to antique/junk stores and look for garage sales with original stereos. I re-purpose them with modern components. I especially fix ones with built in TVs and record players. The tube TVs are junked and replaced with modern monitors. I would like to see how people use larger TVs with old consoles, though.
BTW, this is an excellent demonstration -- well spoken and paced accordingly.
Great work! Thanks for taking the time to make, film, edit and share.
WOW!!!!!! Thats all I can say!!!!! Not only great and beautiful work on the wood, but awesome work on the electronics as well!!!! You've inspired me again!!!! LOVE IT!!!!
Ha! Back in the 70s I used to earn a bit of extra money converting old console HiFi into home bars. One speaker would be a bottle rack, the other became glass storage and where the turntable was I built a bar tub. Nice to see the concept updated!
Always such interesting projects and fantastically presented. Thanks John!
I love the finished product, looks awesome! I am glad to see you also knew how to design the enclosure for your drivers. I used to be in the audio business and so often, people would just put together an enclosure that looked ok and sounded terrible because they failed to understand the importance of the driver requirements. It seems woodworkers pay attention to detail no matter what the project; audio, video, photography, computers or woodworking.
I love this and it would look great in our contemporary style living room! It’s on my ‘list’ now! Thanks!
Quite beautiful workmanship and I'm envious of your skill! You've tempted me to start with a smaller task in the hope of eventually working up to something on this level. Thanks for sharing so many visual details of the entire project. -Buffy
Absolutely Beautiful !! That is one nice looking unit. I bet it sounds great too!! Thanks for posting the build.
Thanks John! So much one can learn from this build and apply elsewhere.
Thumbs up for still being part of the HTPC era!
With SMART TVs and NETFLIX being common these days, the concept has died off.
Love all of your audio projects John!
Never commented on one of your videos but have been watching you for years. Love your videos and your work.... I guess that means I love you hahaha. Keep up the great work, thanks for the entertainment and education!
Amazing craftsmanship! Thanks, John. I always watch all your videos.
John this is a very professional looking cabinet and yes I do remember these back in the day I am probably a little older than you. Motorola, Sylvania, are a couple that I remember. Your work is most enjoyable you really enjoy your work but it probably isn't work to you but an enjoyment. Reading some of comments including yours I am glad you were pleased with the sound it produced.
Good to hear from you, John.
Awesome job John again beautifully made film spectacular woodwork and I love the commentary you’re a true artist sir thanks again for the awesome content!!!!!
Stunningly beautiful John. What a wonderful thing to have in your house.
Just great job, John!
Beautiful project. I regret that I missed my window on the classic console stereos as I could have had several for free about 15 years ago when elderly people were downsizing. They never really sounded very good though. Instead I scored an old Yamaha receiver from a relative after they upgraded to a new one that has HDMI and I bought a pair of Polk Audio book shelf speakers from Craigslist for $35. It sounds fantastic and I took an old laptop, installed Ubuntu and use it to stream music, podcasts, play videos, old radio broadcasts and it's an incredible MP3 player. No records, cassette tapes or CDs taking up room either. I've got them on a nice sideboard but I like what you've done and I'm tempted.
Lovely job. I always look forward to watching your videos. You make it look so effortless.
Lovely to see real skill and craftsmanship.
Absolutely beautiful John you are incredible at what you do thank you for the videos
Excellent and beautiful. Speaker building is one of my hobbies so I enjoyed this.
Beautiful work John!
Your videos are always interesting, full of helpful tips, and your editing is next level these days! Thank you for the excellent content.
Beautiful work!!!
Gorgeous piece, great job John 👍🏻
That is stunning. Great work.
Beautiful job! Thanks.
Wow! Absolutely stunning work John!
Turned out great John, awesome work! 😃👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻
lovely craftsmanship and video mate... rock on
Hey John! The console came out beautifully! I was born in the early 60s also And I had a Pioneer System. A great record collection From Cat Stevens to the Rollings stones. The Alman Brothers Eat a Peach was played so many times, I wore it out! I regretable sold my collection when Cassettes tapes were the thing. I upgraded the system to discs when they came out. I was given a Bose System which I mainly use now in the shop. It's funny to see trends like albums coming back around again. Cheers.
That is a beautiful piece of kit. I brought a 1960s Ferguson Radiogram (here in the UK) back in the early 90s. It cost me about £20, made of walnut and still had the original price tag hanging on the back. It had the owners manual too. I used it as an alarm clock (attached to a timer) whilst I was at Uni. I still have it to this day, but although it lives in my loft now, I could never part with it.
Well worth the wait, it looks great. Here I am stressing about my next project, a stitching pony that I plan to leave rough.
Beautiful work
It's amazing! Retro style rules!!!
Really nice work John!
very nice! i was born 1958, and can remember for this stuff ;) Greetings from germany
Finally!! Thanks for the video John. Awesome!
Rome wasn't the only thing that wasn't built in a day :)
I’ve been talking about doing something like this for years. I can’t fit a console in my place so I never did it. This is awesome. I might try and upgrade the internals on an antique radio if I find a nice looking one for cheap enough.
beautifully and thoughtfully done!
Hi John, long time viewer. Thanks for always having great quality content. While I know I will probably never build this since its before my time, but it has inspired me for my own build that I am working on. Thank you, keep them coming! :)
This is the first video I've seen of yours. Thank you
I really like this build John!!!
Great job!!💪🏼👊🏼👍🏻❤️
Love it. Great job and great idea!!
Wow! I have to say that I nearly never comment any videos that I watch on youtube, but this your build looks very beatiful and useful! I wish I had time, skill and place where I could build things :) Keep doing videos!
beautiful
That thing is stunning. Well done.
Very nice john your design is way better than the old Consoles we grew up with
Very nice piece of furniture John! Enjoyed the build and video, great as always
The way you butterfly'd those panels looks really great.
Really nice build John! Love the classic style with the modern tech.... :)
Gorgeous!
I want to make one of these now. I’d make the base a subwoofer enclosure and audiophile quality mid/high range speakers up top with some vintage tan speaker grill cloth or maybe a guitar amplifier type mesh cloth to cover the drivers. Thanks for sharing, this is an awesome idea.
Nice ... a year ago I was given the guts and speakers including the boards they were mounted too from a old Fisher Ambassador... once I got it all working I built a cabinet as close as possible to the original .... it was fun...
Beautiful work as always
Stunning.
Absolutely beautiful - subscribed.
Brilliant job 👍
Really nice!
Looked cool!
Excelente diseño.. eres muy detallista y tus publicaciones son muy inspiradoras... Gracias por compartir tu trabajo..saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Adding the cherry to the front of the speakers was worth the extra time as it looks beautiful !
Looks awesome! Nice job man
Awesome, this is your masterpiece for sure!
Very beautiful. I love the dark stain colour
Great job
Beautiful
Cool project!! 👍
Awesome job, on both the console and the video editing
Incredible!!!!
