So that's where all my electricity has gone...

Brilliant, that looks great. It makes me feel a lot happier about me doing it. Was the blade a coarse one (e.g. 20 tooth) or a find toothed one (circa 80 tooth) or something in the middle. Also why isn't it raining where you are? Not fair. Rob

As I'm an idiot I pasted this in the wrong chat. This is one way to cut a sheet of plywood down from 1440 x 660 for pieces for the 8" Basschat speaker. There are others but this does it in six cuts if you can stack the pieces, click on it to expand. If you have your own guide rail BUT it's not 1.3m long, you can also use cut 3 first, then cut 4, place them on top of each other to do cut 1. Still the same number of cuts. Apparently my circular saw will do 66mm of cuts with the blade at 90 degrees. It's a relatively cheap Makita (for Makita) https://amzn.eu/d/j6vA5Sf My guide is only 1m long so I do the same cut pattern as @tauzero. Your local timber merchant may have their own way to cut this. my local one has a sign adjacent to the very large table saw, saying this is highly dangerous equipment and under no circumstances tell the operator how to do his job So 24mm of plywood should be no problem and neither should 36mm of plywood (mmmmm...). It has an 80 tooth wheel on so it does very nice fine cuts and I have absolutely no idea if that makes a difference or not on the depth. If anybody can say for certain it's OK to cut 36mm of plywood without it destroying the 80T blade or motor? I'll have try when the weather gets better. Currently we appear to be doing our best to emulate Noah's flood in North Yorkshire. One day of decent weather and two weeks of rain and another week forecast. My poor dog never seems to have enough time to get dry from each walk

I have a feeling this came up a year or so ago. Might be a different one though. Stromness is as difficult to get to as can be and the chances of somebody actually going to collect was minimal. I replied and said I was in the area as I was diving Scapa Flow for the WW 1 German wrecks, I was a scuba diver and have dived Scapa a fair few times so if they asked any questions I could answer them, and would love to see it. Never got a response. Ping them and ask Rob

Now I'm confused. What are you losing here? The USB on the PreSonus is connected to one of the four USB interfaces on the Pi 5 (or 4). So you still have three USB interfaces left on the Raspberry. The other interface on the Presonus is in use as it's doing the I/O to the Pi which is what it should be doing. @tauzero wants to use the Presonus interface What am I missing? Rob

Deleted as in wrong thread. Apologies

Havana is very, very nice. Lovely architecture, very friendly people. Well recommended. I reached Havana via Houston.

Fair point so I'll look a little earlier for dates in April as well and we'll ignore the last week of May

Deleted as I stupidly posted this in wrong thread. Apologies

OK. Let's speak off line and work out how to it technically as this may bore people 😊

Hi, I'm looking at doing the third annual NW and Scotland Bass Bash and Petting Zoo for 2026. This would be at the Clapham village hall in Clapham https://claphamcumnewbyvillagehall.org.uk/ We are on the NW tip of North Yorkshire, 20 mins from the M6. Parking is easy and we would have the whole hall again. Currently the following days are available, so I'm trying to work out which ones to do. I've moved this forward to avoid clashes with the Midlands Bass Bash Saturday April 4th 2026 Sunday April 5th 2026 Sunday April 18th 2026 Sunday April 19th 2026 Saturday April 25th 2026 Sunday April 26th 2026 Saturday May 9th 2026 Sunday May 10th 2026 Sunday May 17th 2026 If I can workout a poll, I'll do this to make it easier. Rob

That sounds sensible.

So if I build two cabs they're twice as good 😊?
