[QUOTE="Mark Wilkinson, post: 140641, member: 8989"] Re: 60 Degree DIY Mid Hi Hi Peter, Yes, you provided great disclosure about the design goal and weight from the gitgo. And I share your thoughts that the DIY is optimized for such, and succeeds! Please don't think I was bitching about the weight.... I've known very closely where it would end up. I was really just saying I don't like my decision to use 18mm BB for the inner shell....I knew it added 3-4 lbs vs 15mm, but did it anyway thinking I'd come in at 73lbs. But I never added in the weight of corner rounding fills and waay too many inserts, t-nuts, and bolts making the interchangeable horn thing work...living in denial that all these little pieces of weight wouldn't add up ...hahaha. If I build some more...good chance :)~:-)~:smile:...I think I'll go the 15mm shell, 12mm box, baltic birch route. I get that will shave almost a full 10lbs... [/QUOTE]
