Indeed it is!

Made stained pine covers for the 5 exposed beams today.
Kind of a signature look for the room. Tomorrow they go up.

The beams are a nice touch!

How are you going to attach them? Will you hide the attachments?

Inch and a half finishing nails into the 3/4" pine at an angle. Toenailed I believe is the term. The nails are small enough you'd be hard pressed to see em.

This all looks awesome! Looking forward to seeing the finished product (and hearing the eventual products from the finished product!).

Finished the beams today. Had to put out a small sample of the flooring to
see what we have. Decided to stain the control room window wood the same.

Looks awesome!! Keep up the good work.

This is the geek part. Look at these soldering joints with the cool shrink wrap over eachl!! I'm not even high off the fumes. Each cable from this panel is 54 feet. On to the next panel. Each cable on the four panels gets tested before they're screwed into place. Doing this instal ourselves is saving me $1600.

The Geek Part, indeed! Brings back fond memories of my first job in the "bigtime" studio biz. I got hired off the street to wire panels at the Record Plant Sausalito in 1972. I don't remember exactly why, but I also ended up MAKING the panels ....... hacksawing them out of 3/16" aluminum sheet, smoothing and truing the edges with a file and a bench vise. Then punching the holes for the XLR connectors with a Greenlee punch, after laying out the pattern. Maybe the boys were getting low on funds after they paid the Westlake Audio bill! Needless to say, the mic and headphone panels did NOT have the sexy engraved white lettering and numbering ..... maybe some Dymo labels?

My initial hourly pay was ....... $2 per ........

Another great story Mike. $2 per hour, and a hacksaw! That's called old school on the job training. They don't do that any more.
