I later talked to a guy that owned some automotive paint stores and he told me that you cant do that in a wood shop, too many cellulose fibers floating around.
Interesting mounting concept. "Capacitor Cradles" with cable ties! Maybe 3D print a few plastic versions that can hug and shock mount various diameter caps inside a circular cushion of soft foam rubber?
I thought about cnc -ing some walnut type of cradles but finishing them before Iowa would not happen so these I have on the shelf and it only took about 30 mins to modify.
I like using the ground bars too when needed. I had to use them in the Attitudes because I had so many components at one junction. Very handy, very secure.
Are those copper-oil caps on your website?
A metal screw in the inductor MIGHT make a difference on your design. If you haven't measured it I think it is worth checking.
Beautiful work as always, thanks for sharing.
Most all stainless steel hardware we can purchase is 18-8, 304, or 316. None of them would affect a coil's inductance at all. I work with all of those daily. There are a few (very few) grades of stainless steel that have some magnetic properties. They are very uncommon though.
Went over next-door today and checked out the amp Dino to make sure I won’t need any parts for it which it all looks like it’s working order so after Iowa I’m gonna dig that out and do some home audio amp test see what they produce for power

I am saying this because because I am just a guy who makes cabinets. I do 20 to 30 percent gloss. 80 gloss is beyond me.

Show off!
These are turning out nice. Wish they were mine.

Drivers are going to go so well with that color,
Had to make some custom mounts for these caps. Now to find more of these cable ties.

very 'cool'
That looks like a "bitchin'" cap!

They pop pretty well, it's a pretty cool solution.
One mocked up. Still need some aluminum or copper screws. Now copy, paint
and done.

Has anyone ever told you that your crossovers are a work of art?
Asking for a friend.
Industrial strength XO's for sure . . .
Nice use of electrical panel ground bars.

IME, steel screws will add to value, but brass and stainless-steel won't.

I have aluminum and Copper screws coming.

Those should be fine I would think. I know a lot of aluminum near a coil can reduce its mH value, so be aware of that.

Non-ferrous metals will have an effect on the feild but it will be marginal in comparison. Lenz's law.
Quick test this morning for any interested.

Not sure what grades of SS most bolts are made from, but some grades of SS are ferrous.
I’ll checkout some ss tomorrow also

Craig is correct. I’ll be using SS hardware then . Easy to find.

Getting closer. Waiting on some stainless steel 1/4-28 screws.

That's quite the 'high bar' crossover build..
