Old thread re-hab, again.
I used to work near a place that re-did kithens and bathrooms, installed counter tops of all sorts made from all types of Corian. Going through thier dumpster was the thrill of my week, sometimes.
I made a few small speakers using either solid Corian leftovers or just the baffle or maybe just the sides. Finding scraps that matched, big enough to do anything larger than desktop speakers was not likely. But still one of my all time favorite dumpster dives! Oh, to be young, again, right?
Still an easy, fun and very inert material to work with. I even cobbled together mismatched panels and painted them once. I used metallic blue car paint, left over as well from my '70 Chevelle project.
The tweed grilles I put on them, they were beautiful! And using the little Tangband drivers from Parts Express clearance pages, they sounded pretty good, too, deploying one of thier tiny, 'no case' 20W chip amps for another few bucks.
Working as a photographer at that time, yet I never took pics of MY stuff. I have some lite regrets about not keeping a journal. Photography was always a hobby, but doing it for a living, even though it might be your favorite thing in most cases, seems to take something basal from the pleasures that you can never get back.
