Beautiful, but too emotional, to enjoy in a normal sense. Never seen anything like it... Thanks.

Funny, the bass player is playing from sheet of music. :/ Sorta seems there is a script. Anyway I ran across something that robots can do that I have never seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI06lujiD7E&feature=player_embedded I'm not sure what the applications would be, but certainly more...

I enjoy tools and just added another to the shop. Didn't really 'need' it, just had to have it, kinda thing. Good sharpening stones are getting expensive and harder to find. Sandpaper has been an alternative sharpening surface for a long while. Grandpa introduced me to Crocus Cloth when I was...

A music box is a good analogy. But a jack in the box with bobbing head comes to mind. Lwein, 'aesthetic judgement'? I hate Picasso, and many other modern artists. If a computer judges it as 'pleasing', who programmed the thing? Sorry I think electrons can't make up their mind without 'original...

That is my point about improvisation. Improvisation vs. Random numbers generated within a set of pre-defined patterns or mathematical formulae. Improv is nurtured, not programmed. And Improvisation can be one monkey two sticks (or even one) on a 5 gallon pail, but the monkey must...

Artificial intelligence? Bahhh! You play a moog, it is synthetic sound, played and directed and created by a human mind. I have a synth upstairs, it is not a percussion instrument like a piano, though it can sound like one, and has a keyboard like one, it makes synthetic sounds, but I play...

:uhoh: :2c: :peace: Oh, it's so cute and shiny. And his little head makes 'him' so.... (anthropomorphic). Bahhhh! Come on... Music as we know it is based on 'music theory' and is basically a mathematical algorithm. So, sure it might stay in key or on theme and in time. But improvise? I didn't...

If you want to do tiny amounts say, half a load. suck that much up , but be sure to use gravity to your advantage, don't turn it over and let it fall out, , hold at a slight upward angle, apply heat to tube with the PD slightly above the load. Once heat hits it it will 'freeze' in place and you...

Sorry, about the confusion with the Myrtlewood buy button. It was up for a bit, then I took it down while we found a new Laser and Wood man. It's back up. I forgot about it till now. Thanks. BDB, I really enjoy hearing that the build was fun and the instructions were good. I think a decent...

I think the issue with a vinyl would be finding an adhesive. Yes, the leather makes a non-skid surface too, but I think cork might be ideal for the vegan set. I have had requests for vegan PDs and have thought about a suitable material many times, but never hit on cork :duh: Coasters etc. are...

Nilo, go to our FAQ page, http://purple-days.com/FAQ.html scroll down to "Can I load it wrong". Look at the picture. Take a pinch of material and stick it in that end, fill the 'bowl' then lightly tamp with your fingertip. turn the 'bowl' over. Does any fall out? No? then it won't fall out. Yes...

The leather is protective. It can be cleaned like a shoe sole. It can stand up to a little water after using a leather protector such as Buzz-Butter. Bare wood seems a bad choice. It also covers the plywood and body joint. The plywood is Birch and will not match the body, so some sort of...

Pretty funny to see someone, sitting at a computer, who can't use Google. :rolleyes: Making claims that Polypropylene is linked to Bisphenol. :lol: Of course it's not true, but if you say you saw it (but now can't find it :lol: ), or your Grandpa told you, it's a fact. :rolleyes: What a joke. I...

What you have is a break in continuity, not a short. A short, where the two wires are in contact will cause harm to a wall power supply, but a broken wire is like a switch in the off position, it won't cause a problem. Stress relief is intended to help but it's not indestructable. Wire bends...

Yes, all Myrtlewood and Western Maple will come from our new partner (sub-contractor). All Cherry , Alder, Ash and Walnut (woods) will continue to come from our 'Mom and Pop' Idaho source. Most wood will be turned 'up the street' but I like wood turning and will continue to do some units and...

Having worked with wood for 45 years or more I know there is a certain amount of waste (lots). I hate to see it, but accept it. And accept a certain amount of 'slip ups', I'm not unreasonable. But at some point you know it's time to find a better partner. Our new fellow makes products for over...

New developments in our ongoing quest for the best. We are always looking at ways to improve. :cool: In an effort to speed production of Purple-Days and to keep some of the dust out of the Shop we have been using our local Laser and Wood man to do some turning for us. I give them a sample...

'normal solder' might include anything including Lead (Pb) a known poison. A fresh iron may cost $10, a new tip for an older gun may be just a few $ ... Why risk exposure? Most cars in good condition should be able to sit without the motor running for many hours, but if you are running heaters...

No problem High, I think lower temps are pretty cool for med users. Pammy has difficulties that make a lower temp vapor a requirement, she loves Clear Dome's 'Lily' stem, want's a shorty for the road (not fancy), the glass lowers the temp and is soo cool... I think you need good heat transfer at...

I think you could tool the Horse Leather. That would be pretty cool, turn it over and see tooling like a saddle or western belt. A nice floral rosetta. A little green rosetta... he hums softly... a tiny green rosetta. :cool:
