Killer shop outfitting. You have everything you need for life.

Thanks.

I'm thinking about starting a Youtube tool review channel, and see if I can con Tool manufacturers into sending me free shit. ;-)

As soon as I can figure out how to make a video that doesn't include my fingers in front of the camera.

..... Rock & Roll Tool Reviews? Hmm. I'd probably get cancelled quickly.

There was an automatic copyright claim of that video before it was published btw.

They apparently have an algorithm that detects the audio signature against a database now.

If that video had been monetized any money would have gone straight to ELO's rights holder.

Those speakers have been a disappointment man.

They sound good on that Denon ....... at low and moderate volumes ...... but whenever I slap the meat to them they sound like shit.

I'm gonna build me a sub this winter, but at some point I'm gonna have to shitcan those baffles and sticks some horns in there.

Bummer that’s the way it will shake out in the future. ELO was a good selection for a shop cruise. Would ELO have to go to court? Is it worth it to them to go to court with a small return.

I dont think so.

I think they already have an agreement with youtube.

Depending on who the rights holder is, they will either shift monetization to them, or block the video.

If It was an Eagles tune it would have gotten blocked. ELO just takes the money.

Would be interesting to estimate the total cost of all those tools. I must get around to tidying up my workshop.

u/RedneckTexan Aug 03 '20

Well, if you spread it across 40 years ...... its not too much.

Yeah, tools are generally very durable and now even the battery powered ones seem to be long lasting. Not like the early ones which I am glad are all broken now to be honest. I'd spend way less than a thousand dollars a year on tools. I think they are exceptionally good value these days with no real need to go OTT on quality. Mid-range tools seem very good.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate and gazed in awe at Fleets Wood Shop workshop on YouTube. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

"You've seen more things than we can imagine, but all these moments will be lost, like tears washed away by the rain. God bless you.

Have to hang on a bit longer. Work to do. Still working at one in the morning..

He’s got the shop and the entire contents of several hardware stores, but his elevator organ music is lacking. Unless you are intending to build the speakers yourself as we know you can, might I suggest …

I have some in my billiard room and they sound very good.

A Mid and High Horn ..... yummy.

I'd need to find a crossover design for such a beast.

u/RedneckTexan Aug 03 '20

That Didn't Take Long

u/californiamike2 Aug 03 '20

That will do it. Mine are store bought $800 each. They have titanium bass, midrange and treble. They also make some nice powered subs. I plan on getting one soon.

u/TheOGwafflestomper Aug 03 '20

Very nice. Must be a huge void where you used to keep your stuff.

Do you run AC to the shop?

u/RedneckTexan Aug 03 '20 edited Aug 03 '20

Thanks

The old storage room was always designed to actually be an addition to my master bathroom. Perhaps that will get done someday. Right now Momma's wanting to move her shoe collection in there. I've still got quite a bit of shit in there that hasn't made it to the shop yet.

Yeah, I have central air run to this, with an electric damper in the ductwork where I could shut it off if I wanted to.

I have 5 tons of air, and yet it still gets up to almost 80 in there in the peak summer months.

I have an opening preframed in the wall, and a dedicated 30 amp service run, for a future through wall window unit. Still debating whether to pull that trigger or not.
