Re: Metal cutters: Ok. I have the profile

I prefer silver picks but every time I make one I lose it immediately. Wich is weird because I don't leave the house with them.
I like the stubby jazz picks but they wear quickly.
I've been experimenting with bone picks I like the feel bit i can't get the plinking sound to stop.

When numbers get too big carpenters switch to feet and inches because we can only count so high.

Re: Wish me luck

The thing is they use standard measurements for a lot of things. I just brought my tape with me. The funny thing is I realized the nailers i was cutting were the same sizes for the cabinets i used to build. So I have those memorized now. Oh I got ratted out by the kid training me. I was kinda pissed...

Re: Wish me luck

Guess I'll have agree to disagree about the metrics. There's. Lot of advantages to it. Having mm on a tape measure is not one of them

Re: Wish me luck

Not sure how much longer I can do this. Just was told we have to work late tonight. I have no problem working late just not without any notice. Very disrespectful. Guess I'm spoiled I'm used to special treatment because of my talents.

Re: Wish me luck

Re: Wish me luck

Probably because every time I talk to friends or family they want something from me so I just avoid em anymore. Ha! Ain't it true. I never talk with the family (wife's anyway) since the ONLY time they call me is when they want something. :roll: Leeches. I really don't mind helping out when I have i...

Re: What do you believe regarding the sound of passive components?

You guys made fun of it and called it a hodgepodge of parts :( . if you're trying to sell an amp you'll be way better off investing in making it look good than sound good. I had some hifi speakers I built...
