Damn Lee... I didnt realize you were doing all that... Building the board one piece at a time.. WOW !!!! I can remember thinking a machine MUST do all that stuff... LOL !!!

Don't know bout that, but it was MANGLED!!!

 

[Gepetto]

That Lee...he is a machine!

Glad to see you got time to get that board holder fired up Lee.

 

[laatsch55]

Yep took about 30 minutes on the 6 jawed Monarch to cut down some standoffs to fit. Saves a lot of time, just pull, turn and release compared to loosen nut with wrench (2 sides), position board, tighten nut with wrench(both sides). much better. The board is held very well by Mr. Pana Vice.

more evidence

got "Even in the Quietest Moments" ggoing in the background. I start low and as the album progresses, I keep turning it up, until the last one which is Mach8

can'tlisten to "Fools Overture" without crying, ever since I decided that was the song that would be played when we scattered Levi's ashes..................................what does war do to a kid that couldn't keep a fish to show anybody if he wasn't in shouting range because that would mean killing it. I have led, ushered, herded, cajoled, or whatever it took to get all manner of flying and crawly things out of the house unharmed under Levi's supervision. he really couldn't hurt a fly..... and yet we expect those gentle souls to kill as coldly and mercilessly as any other mercenary that we field, whatever it does to em.................it's not compatible with who they are..................

 

[laatsch55]

His ashes will be scattered in Sunlight Basin , just this side of Yellowstone Park. Perhaps that will heal the Vi Guy's soul.

I wonder how this album would sound if Simon Posford of "Shpongle" and "Younger Brother" produced and engineered it. It's already goosepimple stuff.......................

 

[laatsch55]

Joe, your board has taken cymbals out of the schuss area and brought them back to the "ringing" place.

 

[laatsch55]

This board is shaping up to be the tidiest I have done to date. Finally found my stash of TO-5 insulators. Matching date codes on the 1304's, and matching codes on the 1305's. Very cool.
