J. Phil Thien's Projects

Doing lots of make ready for my HF upgrade when it arrives.   I've read and watched so many posts and videos and seen several different designs -- many of which seem to have the baffle positioned in different locations relative to the intake port.  I know there is a prescribed place to position the baffle such that the baffle work correctly, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried just doing a full disc that is 1 1/8 smaller in radius than the bottom piece -- basically the drop slot going all the way around (a smaller full concentric disc) that would be held in place by the threaded rods? Did it work? Any problems?
