You are officially demoted to jamesmjack. P.S. It takes a lot to turn on my oscilloscope!

Because there's no electrical cord attached.

Nice try Tyler, but I know a Jewish Space Laser when I see one.

I'm so disappointed in you Naaman.

He likes to cycle differently too.

Here we go again. I like broiled hamsters on my pizza.

Is that hand grind? Doug would love that, as he doesn't like electricity.

Yes. I really like this cartridge. It's not unlike the Denon, just a bit better detail. Dynamics are better and I feel like the Soundstage is much improved. One of the other added benefits is the taller height of the cartridge body. No shim necessary. I'll keep the Zu/Denon, but honestly unless something happens to the Benz, the Denon won't see much use. This thing is built like a tank as well. The entire motor structure is just so much beefier than the Denon.

I also own and use Japanese hand saws. They have their place.

I never liked The Woodwright's Shop, because I never could imagine myself without having electricity. I'm all for some handwork. Chiseling, scraping, a little hand planing and sanding. But I'm never going to buy or use a bow saw. I have much respect for woodworkers of the past. It's amazing what they could accomplish with the tools they had. But for the same reason that I don't play my records on a wind up Victrola, I don't rely on old technology in the shop if there's a modern tool that will work as well or in many cases better.

My arm isn't active either, but I still seem to get great performance out of it. Now if we're talking personally, my arm can be very active at times.

And I like to take my goods into town with a horse drawn cart.

What do you have against electricity?

^ Insert TICE joke of choice.

Those are some big ass cupcakes!

I think those hinges look just right. I wouldn't go bigger. Looks great. Have you figured out why they call it Zebrawood? Because it smells like a herd of Zebras pissed on it when you cut it.

Looks great!

Are they everything you dreamed of?

I would just glue and clamp, no nails.

Is it proper to mix nationalities like that?

RIP Cicely

V carving? Sounds like some kind of rough, straight sex act. Carve that V bro!

Not sure what a SoundCloud is, but it sounds kinky. I like it.

Vibes are the enemy.

Yeah, definitely only with a bit that has a bearing. Also, you have a guide pin on the router plate. That helps to stabilize the work piece. Not boring at all Naaman. Nice!
