Re: The Little Box that Sings
Yes, that is the one. I bought the digital version that included a link to download a DVD image that contained demonstrations that illustrated his work in more detail. Hardcopies included the disc I believe. The text itself has background history and provides more detail into his work as well which ...

Re: The Little Box that Sings
Here is another video for those so inclined. I searched high and low for this since I first saw it on PBS in 1981.
A book was released that dives deeper into his research shortly after his passing in 2001. I believe it is still available on Amazon.

Re: Sanding belt cleaners
Years ago I came across an article about using laundry detergent to soak/clean sanding belts. I tried it and had good success. As I recall I mixed a 60% water and 40% detergent. (We were using Tide liquid at the time) Basically used a small jar and coiled the belt like Dan. I soaked mine for a coupl...

El Cheapo scaper
I had a few trashed utility knife blades and decided to give one a handle. Took me all of 10 minutes. I plan on shaping a couple more for specific jobs. EZ sharpening and the blades I have are decent steel and roll a hook quite nice.

Re: Wild Wood Gallery - Inspiration
Wow, lots of great looking stuff there.
This is some walnut I found when I first moved here many years ago. Some gunstock company felled a HUGE walnut.
I grabbed some of what was left over. Lots of bowls and boxes. I use this for pick guards and headstock veneers.

Re: Lute Progress - Test runs for cutting the rosette
Looking good there.
Hey Martin are you using the scalpel to cut all the way through the wood or using a jewlers saw to cut the areas out and following up with the scalpel for clean up?
Looks like a good job for some nice tunes and and maybe a glass of something to ease the nerves.....
