HiFi police

Za novi TV kotiček sem naredil enostavno poličko. Začel sem z dvema trakovoma aluminija preseka 60 x 5 mm in dolžine 280 cm.

How I built a shelf for HiFi and video boxes in our TV corner … I’ve started with two 60 x 5 mm aluminium stripes, 280 cm long.

Trak sem vpel med štiri kose lesa in ga ukrivil z dobro staro metodo “grobe sile”. Dva kosa, vsak ima šest ovinkov, za vsak ovinek sem trikrat vpenjal (ker sem moral kosa na notranjem delu krivine premikati, da nista bila v napoto drug drugemu). Dve uri dela v spodobno vročem dnevu (takrat, ko je K. šivala perlice).

Then I created bends with a good old “brute force” method. I’ve fixed the aluminium between four slabs of wood, used my hands (and weight) to make a partial bend, moved inner two blocks slightly apart, bent some more … Two hours of work on a hot day.

Nastala sta dva lepa nosilca …

The result – two nicely shaped pieces of aluminium.

… ki sem ju presprejal v mat črno.

I’ve sprayed them with matte black …

 

Obešena na zvočnike sta bila videti že kar kulturno …

… and hanged onto the speakers. It looked neat …

 

… a le do trenutka, ko sem nanju postavil zverino od ojačevalca. Potem sta se trakova upognila. Kar krepko.

… but only until I’ve put our heavy amplifier on the shelf. The aluminium was not strong enough to carry it and the whole thing bent quite a lot in the middle.

 

Potreboval sem še podporo v sredini, pa sem vzel dva kosa ukrivljenega železa, ki sta mi ostala od gradnje špalirja.

I had to add a support so I took two pieces of steel which I made for the pear cordon but never used them.

 

Nekaj žaganja, varjenja, brušenja, vrtanja in barvanja, pa sem imel nosilec.

An hour of sawing, welding, grinding, drilling and painting and I had my bracket.

 

Privil sem ga v zid (vijak bom moral še prebarvat) in stanje je bilo takoj boljše.

It’s fixed to the wall with one screw which I still had to paint black.

 

Voila!

Voila!
