Re: [ATM] Venting Holes in a solid OTA

Good idea but execution gets a bit tougher setting the bevel to the correct
angle for nine sides. I originally did a seven sided OTA and that was just a
really tough angle!

Hi Jack,

> keep to the "free wood is good wood" idea.

It is good indeed. Can you run the strips thru a table saw to make them 
thinner? (and lighter!) With a real thin blade you might make two strips 
from each one? Having such a narrow tube might allow enough light, but will 
force tube currents into your light path. Perhaps better to make a 
nine-sided tube with a little more breathing room.

Good luck,

John
