Thanks, yeah filing can take a long time and it would be silly to show too much in the videos, just enough to show what's going on;)

:)

Thank you:)

Thanks Marc, First of all I think everyone should know that working with aluminium is not much more difficult than working with wood. You can use your saw and router on the metal, no problems. In the example here, first the parts are rough cut with jigsaw or rotary saw, then they are filed to shape using various files that be purchased as a set at your local hardware store. Once you are happy with the shape, then the finishing process can begin. If you want to achieve a mirror finish on the part then you can start wet sanding straight away with 120 grit to remove all the saw and file marks. Then progress through 180, 240, 600 and 800 grit till you get a nice smooth, matte finish. Then it's on to the buffing wheels. If you have a nice surface (experience will tell you) then you can use the stitched rag buff with the brown compound until you have an even, highly reflective finish. Then to finish off, use the loose rag buff with the white compound to get a very high shine and finish with a soft cotton cloth (by hand) to complete. I learned to polish just by doing it and learning as I went but of coarse it's not rocket science and you will get the hang of it quickly. Good luck.

@@AttilasWorkshop Thank you for the information. I was about to ask the same question. 🙏🏻

Thanks:)

Thanks:)

Thanks.

Watched the video thinking "this headphone stand needs moar struts"...

Thanks:)

Thanks.

Thanks, I'm from Melbourne and Jarrah is the only 'exotic' wood I can get easily (and can afford) here. The good thing is that Jarrah has a broad range of colour and grain;)

@@AttilasWorkshop it definitely is a beautiful timber with a gorgeous grain structure and fantastic colours particularly those reds! stay safe mate

Thanks.

:)

Thanks:)

Thanks:)

Thanks.

Yes, this is something I didn't think of at the time. I've since made a clip on acrylic curved 'foot' that spreads the load;)

It's not very difficult with experience. Wet sand out all the large blemishes then hit the rag buffs on the grinder with polishing compound. You can quickly get a mirror finish:)

Cool thanks.

Cool, have fun:)

Cool, have fun:)

You can buy sheet and plate anywhere. Local metal vendors, scrap merchants, Ebay, Ali express etc.

Cool, glad to provide inspiration:)

Thanks.

Thanks. I am a printer, and have been so since 1984. Basically a machine operator.

Thank you.

Thanks.

You saw the sanding. The polishing is even more boring. But I will show more polishing in a future video.

:)

Cool:)

Thanks.

Thanks.

No. The two parts are glued together with dowel through the aluminium. I guess if you wanted to, you could fix the wood to the metal with epoxy although I,ve never tried it.

I don't know which alloy is best. This was made with marine grade 5083 but I use anything I can get my hands on and have found they all polish up nicely......with enough work;)

Thanks.

Thanks, yes I'm always thinking of new materials and copper and brass are up there;)

@@AttilasWorkshop Copper has gotten so expensive though!
