Hi there.

I have been wanting to have some speaker cabinets build by a carpenter for
a while and have decided I might give it a go, or at least try and
establish the price for such a project.

The cabinet is a relatively simple small scale transmission line, but I
would like it build with some good materials and in a really nice veneer,
something like the stuff used on B&W Signature series. Anyone know a
carpenter to reccomend? It would be extra good if said carpenter was in
South Wales.


Go mad - have a go at building them yourself. Do it in MDF first and then
repeat them in a bit of decent treewood if you like them. Don't
underestimate how hard (or expensive) it is to replicate the superb
(perfect) finish we've come to expect on commercial speakers these days....



Also a metal workshop that would do a run of say 5 pieces of a custom
design enclosure machined from alu or steel would be very usefull.


Any decent (CNC?) shop will do it - but at a cost and a time to suit
themselves. (Think 'second mortgage' here... ;-)
