Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I have a large pair of speakers that I want to get timber vaneered. I was wondering if anyone in the Melboune area that is good at vaneering, would be interested in doing it for me for a reasonable fee.
I tried vaneering many years ago and did not get the professional results I was hoping for. These speakers are very expensive vintage Tannoy's so I a really want them to come up professional.
As I said, I am happy to pay for a good job. Thanks.
Tony.
can you post some pictures and dimensions of the speakers?
No problems. I will do this tomorrow afternoon. I can tell you now they are big. 1 mtre high x 700mm wide, 450mm deep. I will post more exact measurements and pics tomorrow. Thank you for your reply..
Tony
depends on what you call a reasonable fee
lets see , quality veneer not the pre glued stuff about 100, three hour labour to cut and fit and glue and clamp,
sanding another hour, refinishing another 4 hours
lets say 10 hours with picking up materials and removing and refitting fronts $600 plus veneer $100 ish
$700 the pair?

He did say proffessional:D
2 boxes 1 metre high?

PS I cant do it cos I'm a city worker these days, but that would have been my ballpark quote.
not going to make an estimate until I see actual pictures of the speakers and what needs to be done to them, but Astrid's price is not unreasonable for a professional job. Depending on if the back was to be done or not, there is almost 4sq mtrs of veneer in there.
Lets see those pics.
Where d'e go?:D
The "for a reasonable fee" is a dead give away

I think you freaked him out. :wacko: I would've probably freaked him out even more.;)Quote:

one question, what are they made of ? a lot of vintage speakers, even good ones were made of laminated chipboard, dont think you can reveneer that.
