New Photos and Slideshows

April 10, 2019

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

After going through a bunch of WordPress slideshow plugins before I finally found a good one, I have started adding new photos of my projects. Eventually, each one will start out with a slideshow of the finished product, followed by whatever build details I have for it. Some of them are quite lengthy.

For this, I built a photo stand that holds each piece at a good angle under the workshop lights. This will make the job of re-photographing everything much faster and easier.

Brownsville Violin Bass

This is probably the cheapest violin bass on earth, and I got a discount on top of that because it had a persistent buzz that turned out to be a bad string. "Brownsville" is a house brand for Sam Ash, where I bought it on a whim. The scale is about 30.5". It's a beauty, isn't it?
