In Reply to: A question for Maggie MDF frame experts. posted by Jim Treanor on April 25, 2007 at 16:01:48:
I would think those hardwood dowel sections would not do that much to the totality of the MDF frame. I suggest what you *really* need to do is use some other material! :-))As you've probably noticed, Peter Gunn is using hardwood to good effect (he's posted that there's very little vibration appearing in his hardwood frames) ... but to do this, you need some skills (and tools) which you and I probably don't have! :-))
So are there any other sheet materials which might be suitable - ie. are vibrationaly better damped than MDF (and would allow a large hole to be cut out for the driver)? It doesn't necessarily have to look nice as it could be hidden by the 'sock'!
Regards,
Andy
