Hi everybody welcome back
In this episode I am making speaker #feet from #brass and bamboo plywood.
The brass is relative thick for eastatics but mostly for dampening vibrations. The bamboo base is nice and firm to rest the brass on.
One reason why brass dampens vibrations because it is softer than a steel but yet hard and strong enough to withstand a pike of a speaker feet. At the end of the video you can see the setup of a whole.
Copper and aluminium have similar hardness properties but are different materials in properties.
The bamboo is a high value wood and quite hard and it suits this application therefore the material choice.
The feet are about 45 mm in square, almost 2 inches.
The brass gets cut and a fitting piece of bamboo gets cut to the brass size. Here I specifically used a rip blade and adequate feed speed not to burn the bamboo or the blade.
Then some sanding of the materials for glueing. A few bamboo pieces needed to be thinner so a planer made quick work of that.
The glue is thick Poly urethane and is suitable for different material bonding.
The excess glue gets sanded away and finishes the sides. The rougher sides compliment the smooth topside in my opinion.
Then a small dibbed gets drilled.
At that point the little feet got finished!
Thanks for watching!
