As some of you know I like to name my speakers with references to Japanese culture or ninja techniques. Yes, I was a fan of those poorly dubbed Kung Fu movies that would run on Saturday afternoon.
With that said, I have never had so many miscues on a single project. I completely destroyed one baffle (both sides) and had to use both sides of the next two baffles, and no more wood for another. I destroyed one of the tops and only had enough wood for one more. I miscut the leftover veneer I was using and barely had enough to finish. Then I had some bizarre blowout on my final flushcut and had to cut a ¼” off the back of the top and replace it. I may chamfer the top to hide it but from 3 feet it not too noticeable. So, long story short I came across what seems to be a perfect reference to this project which has been a ROYAL PAIN IN THE ***! The Kancho, evidently this is a Japanese prank, mostly perpetrated at the grade school level. Let me know what you think in the poll. I must note that when a ninja performs this technique it is know as the “Thousand Years of Pain”
Kancho (カンチョー kanchō?) is a prank often played in Japan; it is performed by clasping the hands together so the index fingers are pointing out and attempting to poke someone sharply in the posterior region when the victim is not looking. It is similar to the wedgie or a goosing, although, as compared to kancho, the former mentioned acts do not involve physical contact that is quite as intimate or direct. A Kancho is often executed simultaneously as the offending party loudly emphasizes the second syllable of "Kan-CHO!".
