Make you bids ladies and gentlemen – how long would take to complete my midbass horn.

We broke the wall last Fridays and this Friday we made firth plywood cut. When I said “we” I meant truly not my carpenter and me but just my carpenter as my part of work at this point is just to walk around the bother my carpenter with predictions how he will fuck up. My carpenter woks 5 day per week, from 10AM to 5PM. He borough the machines in my home and set up as shop in one of the basement rooms. In that room he will cut the wood, glue the sections, then the section will be brought to the listening room, connected, the horns  will be beefed up, finished, lifted and installed in the attic. Then the room’s wall will be refinished.

My carpenter thinks that he would need 2 weeks to finish the job. I think that he is dreaming. I think that from where we now we are a good 4-5 weeks to be through. Since we agreed to make the wok for a fixed price then the money is not the factor for my carpenter to make it longer. Still I feel that on September 1 the project will not be compete. I hope I am wrong of cause.

Interesting that to cut the wood is much more complicated then I thought.  The problem is not with the multiple sections and multiple small plated but with the fact that each plate has to have proper angle on it’s sides to be properly glued to the neighboring sections. That all make it kind of complicated and my carpenter unfortunately is more thinking then cutting the wood. Sure, it is not as unfortunately as I am trying to make it, in fact I am a fortunate that I have not a moron carpenter. Still, thinking does not advance the time line and there is a LOT of work ahead of us. So, I think that if in the end of August we will be closing the project then I will be very lucky. I certainly do not in this project any 2-3 weeks of work.
