How to Build a Guitar: For The New York Times for Kids, the photographer Christopher Payne visited the Martin Guitars factory to see how humans and machines make music.

Happy birthday!

Either that or using strong joints in the corners, and mortising in the slats.

I'd take it over the white walled McMansions shown in most of the rest of the pics. The tile in the fireplace is great.

Is 50" the length? If so, how about a slice from a 16" inner tube. You can get one on Amazon for $12

There was a turntable co back in the 90s that used dental floss for belts because it didn't stretch. https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/analogue-source/162085-diy-turntable-belts-2.html Alternatively, use a double pulley and connect it midway between the motor and platter to utilize available belts.

Awesome. Thanks. Happy to send you a shipping label

Preferably a pair. I'm more of a listener than measurer. Different experiment, actually. Raal will be differential.

Not sure where to put this, so I'll put it here: Does anyone have any single ended output transformers laying around that they would be willing to lend me for some testing? Specs don't matter much. Primary can be anything from 3K5 to 15K, any secondary appropriate for speakers (4 to 16) is fine. I'll clip lead them in, test them for a bit, and then send them back.

Details?

A hammer and a nail set works too.

It's been nearly 6 months since the last time it snowed here ...

Looks reasonable for framing with 2x4's, but probably not for "wood working". The Incra fence above is accurate, and adjustable, to 1/1000"

So sorry to hear, Fitz. What a beautiful cat.

It is the Incra. I think it is like the old saying about democracy, that it's the worst fence available, except for all the others. It can be finicky and difficult to get calibrated, but it allows for doing things that are otherwise impossible. Traditionally, woodworkers don't really measure which makes it anathema to many people as it is purely about working to measurements. But it does suit the way I work, and I'd be lost without it. I did try to have a router table built into my saw table for a while. I tried using the same Incra fence for both, which was a bust. Then I found that the auxiliary router table fence was constantly in the way of the saw, so I removed that for the previously mentioned sliding table (which I am more ambivalent about, but when it is useful, it is very useful). The one accessory I have found that is worth its weight in gold is the JessEm stock guide. also, for the record, we have a Nespresso. I'm not that picky

Don't worry, you'll have to take it apart again when you replace that fence. And again when you add the sliding table.

The curl only kind of shows up in this pic, but it is the best one I have. This is not, actually, ambrosia - it is from a tree that was tapped for syrup. It leaves the same streaking, but with larger holes (which I cut off). This was wood from the $2/bf scrap heap - same wood I made the kitchen counters from.

Mine were about that old. I had to replace them a few years ago as one of the cats chewed through the cable and they weren't replaceable. Fortunately the new ones do have replaceable cables since those have been chewed through, too.

So long as you do the ebonizing with tannin and iron, I'll be OK ... ... looks great, as always.

For some context, the fires, just this year, and just in CA, have already burned an area larger than Connecticut.

Happy birthdays!
