Stop in for a cup of coffee

so where do the molds come from?
Hand made by me. They start out as a plug or foamboard that I shape into what I want then cover them in a coat of bondo.
Sand smooth and prep with a special wax and mold release, then fiberglass over that and when dry I have a mold.

"The Lord's Prayer":



Since it's a cappella, it sounds like crap if the TT isn't spinning at exactly the right speed.

Once I get everything up and running again I'll start looking for a good replacement for "Little Saint Nick". (Thankfully I have...what...360+ days?)

Got an amazon turntable last christmas. Put on Dark Side of the Moon. It was off, 5.4% too fast. I couldnt stand listening to it. I finally sold it. Oh, there’s an app for that.
 
Hey.
I think i forgot something. Was a good Christmas. Lots of good food.
Got another dump of snow,4” in 3 hours. Never finished plowing from the storm. Got most of it cleaned up today until plow truck ran outta gas.

Thumb kit landed for my lil hoe, but hoses dont fit my machine. Went to parts store. Had 2 we could chop off wrong fittings and crimp new ones. Except the young lad whacked both ends off the one hose, misunderstood what i wanted. kinda screwed me. I managed to find something to avert the disaster but required me to fabricate an adapter from the chopped off fitting and one of the hose plugs.
Silver solder to the rescue!

I couldnt be upset with the young man, as i stood there watching him chop off the good fitting. I was daydreaming.
I told him **** happens, been there. End result is i got it done, hydraulic thumb works and im almost done with the upgrades.
