boomana Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 i'm not a fan of that yellow end cap, myself. I didn't really look that closely. I wouldn't like a yellow end cap. handle #3 now belongs to jacob. Nice.
shellylh Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 if it's still available, handle #3 on this page. it's pretty much exactly the dimensions i would want on a custom handle, and i think it looks really nice, while staying understated. Pretty nice handles there! I like #13.
Dusty Chalk Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 That's some nice wood. (wiggles eyebrows)
swt61 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 I need to buy one of these to disect how it's built. Dr. Wood may need Jacob to help me pick out a good knife, as mine are crap. I think I can tackle the handle part though.
diebenkorn Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 a toyota transmission and will soon be acquiring a 8th gen civic or accord.
swt61 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) here is a traditional style. octagonal is also traditional. i can send you the octagonal handle from my Mizuno, once i have the new handle on it, though i'd prefer you didn't cut it up. All I really need Jacob is a good view of the end that attaches to the knife, and the tab (if you will) of the knife that slides into the handle. I think I like the look of the octagonal best.

jvlgato Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 One ticket to Hilary Hahn. Jealous. Even without all access.
Dusty Chalk Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Looks like it's a bunch of solo violin works: link.
Dusty Chalk Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 What? Oh. (ahem) I mean, it looks like a bunch of piano and violin works. (See above link.)
mypasswordis Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 I meant that I don't like Valentina Lisitsa's playing. And no, don't take it in the way that I am somehow misogynistic again. I think she's part of this era's "bang bang" style of playing as fast and "virtuosic" as you can and just banging out notes, without regard for beauty or nuance. Other notables: Lang Lang and Evgeny Kissin.
Dusty Chalk Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 No, I won't make that mistake again. I thought the frowny faces were because I didn't notice her. So I take it you're not interested in going? (Kinda late, but I could probably find a seat nearby if you do want to go. But I also didn't think you'd want to spend $75+ right now. But all you violinists are in the same club, so y'all let each other in to your concerts for free anyway, right?)
swt61 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Haven't yet used it, but I'll keep you posted if it is indeed a bargain at $110.00 less than the Fein. So I've used this tool a lot in the last few days, and it's awesome! One big bonus that I hadn't even thought of is as a sheetrock saw. I had to cut out a large portion of a wall, to insulate for sound deadening, and the semi round blade cut through the sheetrock like butter. It was easy to follow my guide lines, and very little dust to clean up. Was great for cutting out around switches and power outlets too. It also has worked great for cutting back base trim in place, cutting off the excess of door shims, and even cutting through 1/2" plywood. I see a lot of uses for this little tool. Finally, something at Harbor Freight that I can hardily recommend!
Duggeh Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 A tank of petrol. Thanks to events in Libya, it's now at what you guys would call $8 a gallon.
Beefy Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 And for the UK, it is probably all fucking speculators driving the prices up But I wouldn't want to be in Italy right now - they apparently get 25% of their oil from Libya. And for a country already in deep crap economically, an oil supply squeeze could be catastrophic.
mypasswordis Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 But all you violinists are in the same club, so y'all let each other in to your concerts for free anyway, right?) Hah, in the profession it's more like violinists and musicians in general pride themselves in being busy with another gig and thus not being able to attend. After all, more work means more success. I will be busy, but for engineering related stuff. I'm sure the concert will be nice, enjoy.
swt61 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 A tank of petrol. Thanks to events in Libya, it's now at what you guys would call $8 a gallon. Rumor is that it'll jump over $5.00 a gallon here.
Aimless1 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 They're all drive offs in Ohio any way, aren't they? Came home with the Canon s95 today.
morphsci Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 They're all drive offs in Ohio any way, aren't they? Came home with the Canon s95 today. Nice buy. I think you will like it.
