making my own jdisc....
« on: October 17, 2005, 02:28:36 PM »
thinking of using mouse pads for each side of the disc. small disc for small mics, 6 inches. the thickness of a mouse pad seems to be perfect, but are they to dense?

Thats what I thought. This should work pretty good. Found a plastic wire spool at work, cut the ends off(only need one), which is 6 1/2 inches in diameter, and about 1/8 inch thick. Even has holes in the right spots. Two mouse pads and a piece of 3/8 threaded rod for mounting the mic clips. Just need to find one more unused mic clip and use the bottom half for the stand mount and that should do it. A cheap miniature version and identical to the ones seen for sale for 200+ bucks. I'll post some pics when it's done.

Anyone tried something like Dynomat material made for sound dampening in cars?  I'm building another disc:

Wood core, dynomat on the sides, soft fuzzy fabric covering.  The memory foam disc i made works well, it's just not as sturdy as I'd like so I'm gonna play with some different ideas.
Really not very evil at all now...

Dynomat is super thin and may take a few layers.  I'm actually matting the floorboard of my Jeep right now with it.  ;D

that's the plan.  3/4" thickness in total and 17cm spread dead center.  that's what i'm shooting for at least.  maybe i'll pick up some brown bread if i can find some locally, but i doubt it.
