http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8675978.stm Poor old pirates stole more chain than they could swim with. :cool: When I heard they had a Russian ship and the Russian Navy was on the way, I said to Pam, "this won't go good for the pirates." Then they just let them go? Uhh, didn't sound...

Next, check out those high pressure couplings. :lol: PS. some of you around here use Butane canisters to re-fill your Iolite. Is that can hot? No. Is the can cold? No. And what happens when compressed gas (air) goes from high pressure to lower pressure. Anybody want frozen lips? Ever use a...

First and before all else let's examine that high pressure tubing... :lol:

Ki4mor, since the Pandora has been working properly, you obviously did it right. :) You know the solder joints were solid, there just isn't anything inside to go wrong, so an external source of trouble is almost assured. Since your wall wart is warm you are pretty well assured also that the...

The music sounds familiar. Wonder if they wrote that song. :2c:

I think the cheapo guest solution, is that clear flexible tubing, from the hardware, it should slip or stretch over the outer diameter of the tube which is 1/2". Add 2" of this to any tube and you have a red seat. Either to keep your's separate or signify the fellow who has the flu (etc.)...

I have always liked the Myrtlewood. It is variable, I could see from this fellow's items that he was choosing fine pieces. He goes to Alaska each year, to collect Alaskan Birch. Beautiful, but the trees are narrow and don't yield the lumber dimensions we need. He's also an ex-Plumber, so we...

Chopped up the fancy woods the other day. Not dried well enough, :| so the blocks will season while I schedule some kiln time, likely to loose a few, not happy with the shipment, they substituted for #201 without approval and what they sent in it's place won't yield one PD. So it may be several...

CD is the flame thrower. ;) Beautiful. You have to put me on your growing list. Stay cool next to that flame. :cool: I mean the big flame for making the beautiful glass.

:o You remember the missing shipment? Wow, UPS started a nightmare. Somehow Amazon, and some other packages, have a symbol on their UPS label (it looks like a bow-tie or shoe-laces tied, from the era when packages were tied with string, UPS uniforms still have this insignia). The driver...

Absolutely grand. I sometimes (mostly) have no idea what you speak of, but know for sure, it is energized and intelligent. Right On !:)

Panasonic wrote, "I thought briefly about it and then realised entertaining them (second from the left requests) would add a lot of complexity and hassle to the ordering process so I decided against it." . . . Thanks, we appreciate the best minds. :cool: But, write anytime, think first . :lol...

I like the Alder. Choice stuff. Elk is nice, I'm using a Fancy Maple with Elk, it's a nice 'blend in' shade. You can always 'skin' the bottom and re-hide it in a couple of years, too. I listen to JPR ("Rhythm and News') all day in the shop. :D Like you it's about all we get. I get the...

Welcome to the forum SeiM. A tiny town in Northern Cali? Do you get Jefferson Public Radio? The other 10 leathers are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I have no idea what we will find, but I am always pleased with the stuff from Brettun's. I will put up some pics on the site when I get the goods...

When I find time to turn them, they will be graded and priced. Pictures and buy buttons will be up when units are available. They will be first come first served. We are not taking names or requests. Probably a few weeks before any are available. We just ordered the wood.

Some nice pieces of wood on the way to PD Land. :D Walnut Maple http://purple-days.com/Pandora_Fancy.html may answer some questions.

From our blog: Custom Pandoras We already do several house species. American Cherry, Alder, Ash, Myrtle, and Black Walnut. But some folks want other woods, something with a bit of spice. Ambrosia Maple. Nice. This fellow contacted me, asked about the woods suitability, we have done this for...

Some new keys are pretty bulky. Old flat brass style keys can be duped in plastic in a credit card design,flat and rectangular in the wallet, punch out the pre-cut key in an emergency. Not sure if the still make them but it was a flat and practical solution.

Locked out story: I put an 8-track in my first car and started locking it. Well not 'my' car... So, You don't bust a window on Mom's classic '64 VeeWee. That was one heck of a walk home from the county fair, and the ride to open it up in the morning was a lifelong memory. A 7 mile walk wasn't...

This is about reading, I promise. And I'll get to a book or two in a minute. Jeff, and any of the older set, who are needing reading glasses... having been through surgical lens replacement in both eyes, I had a choice, great distance vision and use glasses for reading OR great reading and...
