Pretty cool stuff. He has a pretty old school workshop with very heavy cast iron three phase machines. It take a good bit of skill to run them. That was a nice little trick to replace the sanding disk without moving the table. I am surprised he did not have a power feeder on his jointer.
The finishing process was also pretty old school and gives a classic look. I would prefer Awl Grip which is a polyester based high gloss polyurethane topcoat. It is difficult to spray correctly and is very toxic. Guys that work with 700 plus volts DC are not to worried by toxic...lol
I don't know where the Walnut he is using comes from. It looked like eight quarter stock. That cost around $8.00 per board foot in Quartersawn material here.
It is hard to tell much about the amp from the photos. Perhaps Trever could comment on that. It looked to be mono. 20,000 pounds for stereo ?? You would need a good vinyl and CD collection! I have around 5 or 6 hundred CD's someone need to buy!
Lovely stuff.

EDIT: Those are some heavy transformers.

New location, new environment, new music coming soon
Seize the moo-ment If you feel like you’ve herd all these cow puns before, you probably have deja-moo
What an amazing workshop he has ..... every tool and machine you could ever want. But, with all of the tools he has available he still uses the lid of a paint tin to draw the rounded corners

I can attest to that. My brother's got a similarly old school workshop with a lot of very heavy and very powerful 3-phase equipment, as well as the Red Seal certification to know how to use it without losing digits.

I dunno, I'm comfortable with 700+ volts, but I still try to avoid toxic stuff. 700 volts is only dangerous if you touch it, while toxic spray is dangerous just being near it.

Looking at the back of it, there are two sets of speaker outputs (looks like 4 and 8-ohm outputs) and two RCA inputs (as well as two output transformers), so it is a stereo amp. From a quick Google search, a 300B tube puts out around 8 watts, but the 300B tube is known to be low-noise and very accurate, so it probably sounds at least as nice as it looks.

Hah! I'd probably do the same myself. If it works, why not?

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
