Yes, they are metal pipes/fittings that I got from Lowe's (local hardware store). I used a spray paint with the term "hammered" in the name, it gives a nice textured metal coating, since they don't look this nice off the store shelves!

I used strong dish soap and a scrub brush to get them dirt and grease free, then assembled and put them in the oven at 200 degrees (F) for 30 minutes to dry. Then put on rubber gloves to handle (no skin oils) and painted them. Have had no issues with the paint chipping off or anything like that.

Flat top stoves are so challenging to keep looking perfectly clean!

We were left a rectangle of our quartz countertop material when we built our house, so I decided to make a noodle board to cover the stove (it's never been actually used to make noodles...)

 

This was a fun and challenging build!

I ordered some cheap single board amps and power supplies from AliExpress and used a DSP so each speaker (mid/tweet/sub) has their own dedicated amp and fine tune control ability for the frequency drop-offs, gain, etc.

They sound amazing!

I was literally just looking into this as well!

Like I'm signed up to beehaw, but say if I go to sh.itjust.works I can view communities, but subscribe asks to login

Yeah, I'm on the Tropical Weather discord and they announced they're going dark, likely for good.

Multiple devs, but yeah...same here, I'm done with reddit.

Sync was amazing! Not a chance in hell I'll use anything else.

I decided to setup a recurring donation to Beehaw in place of my reddit subscription.

In principle, I'm over reddit even if that backtracked. I've been reddit free for 4 days now.
