I have run into a slight problem because it is very cold here (20 degrees this morning), so the oil finish is taking a long time to soak in and is not leaching out like it did with the first coat. A heater in the garage is helping, but I just plain screwed up by avoiding getting going on it in timely fashion.

I don't want to have to be wiping the excess if it start seeping when set in place in the warm room, loaded with gear. Come on warming trend.

Very nice rack.
I'm thinking about doing one myself.
It needs to have an Arts & Crafts look which is an issue....

Wish I had your wood working skills.
Very nice work, and it looks like a nice piece to place your gear on.

Okay, finally got things set up preliminarily for a photo. I think it looks rich.



I have the cover off the REF 150, but don't care for the appearance and am putting it back on. I love the glowing tubes, but the industrial look is a bit too much--it's like seeing backstage at the theater with all the rigging, booms and fixtures rather than the magic of sitting in the audience. AR didn't design it to be sexy with its clothes off, just fine sounding. I really can't hear any sonic difference anyway.

The rack came out terrific. It's makes most other racks look wimpy. I agree with you about the cover on the ARC amp.

Clarifixer.......Really nice rack and system. All the hard woodwork paid off big.

I agree, cover that nude AR up.
