I've been doing my research, and collecting what I need to start veneering my speakers. I'm ready to go now, thanks to joewoodworker.com

I did a lot of reading on their site yesterday, and picked up some really great tips. I needed some veneer tape (part of my veneer was already taped, and has a few splits I need to tape before starting) and found their site.

Read all the tips, then figured why not, they have some of the tools I was looking for.. like rollers and heat glue.. SO.. I ordered the stuff up around noon yesterday...

Decent prices, and I got the stuff I ordered this morning... WOW.. talk about fast service.. I recommend them just form this experiance alone. The tools I ordered were quality stuff too...

I have some of that veneer tape and a veneer saw. I strongly recommend that you do some test runs before you get into the "big" project. It all makes common since but is easy to mess things up royally.

Figured I would start with the backs of the Peaveys and go from there.. I don't have much left for left overs.. I didn't get a saw, but I do have LOTS of razorblades..

I ran into problems when I used the tape the first time. I scratched using the "special tape" and just used painters tape on the ouside of the seam.

Yeah.. I figured painters tape wasn't gonna get it.. so got the perferated tape..

Can you have just one kudo? Do they occur singly in nature, or are they like magnetic monopoles?

hhhmm.. guess we need to look for the man on the mountain to get an answer to that.. :scratch2:

Kudos is neither singular or plural, it's rather like the words "fame" or "renown".

kudos
–noun (used with a singular verb) honor; glory; acclaim: He received kudos from everyone on his performance.

[Origin: 1825–35; irreg. transliteration of Gk kŷdos]


—Usage note In the 19th century, kudos1 entered English as a singular noun, a transliteration of a Greek singular noun kŷdos meaning “praise or renown.” It was at first used largely in academic circles, but it gained wider currency in the 1920s in journalistic use, particularly in headlines: Playwright receives kudos. Kudos given to track record breakers. Kudos is often used, as in these examples, in contexts that do not clearly indicate whether it is singular or plural; and because it ends in -s, the marker of regular plurals in English, kudos has come to be widely regarded and used as a plural noun meaning “accolades” rather than as a singular mass noun meaning “honor or glory.”
The singular form kudo has been produced from kudos by back formation, the same process that gave us the singular pea from pease, originally both singular and plural, sherry from Xeres (an earlier spelling of the Spanish city Jerez), and cherry from the French singular noun cherise. This singular form has developed the meanings “honor” and “statement of praise, accolade.”
Both the singular form kudo and kudos as a plural are today most common in journalistic writing. Some usage guides warn against using them.

Damn.. amazing what you can stir up around here by leaving off an S.. but HEY.. if anyone is going to say it wrong.. or type it wrong.. It's most always gonna be me :D

Sorry I thought you used "kudo" wryly. Wasn't meant to be a grammar lesson (nor a slight).

LOL.. no worries.. if I ain't learnin, I ain't livin..

Another tip, if you are using tape and clamping the veneer do not use the blue masking tape. The pressure wil bond it to the veneer and getting it off is a royal PITA take my word for it. I use it on split veneer when applying it but peel it off before applying the clamps.

Good advice! The tape does take a little getting used to working with.

I was hopeing I can get away without using clamps. I'm hoping with the iron, and a lot of rolling, I can get away without clamps, for the simple fact I don't have enough to even consider it on cabs as big as these..
