[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7624533, member: 576029"] I figured it makes sense to have a tweeter sphere thread here as well. I started making another set last night, worked on them a bit more tonight. I buy solid wooden spheres ($1.50) - like knobs or post tops, at my local Hobby Lobby. i hollow out a cylinder, (using Forstner bits, hole saws, dremel, etc.), drill a hole for threaded rod, and then... i'm not sure where to go next for a nice finish. tools i use [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/accord/accordkicks2012011.jpg[/IMG] i used double-sided foam tape to hold the sphere in the vice without making marks. works well. [IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/phat_funky_beats/accord/accordkicks2012018.jpg[/IMG] I had to dremel sand the opening a bit larger in order to fit. the Forstner bit was either too small or too large.
