Doing Things Wrong

Mitre Box

image

I made this little mitre box. It goes in 5-degree steps from 0 to 45 degrees. I don't know if that will actually be useful, but it gives me something to play with. Although I made it with the saw shown, I would use it with a fret saw, which is narrower and runs in the slots nicely. The important thing is not that the angles are super accurate, but that they are repeatable. I think.

Not sure if I will ever use this for anything.

He forgot to mention "remastering", where great old recordings are piped through a compressor to end up sounding just like today's shite. This is especially ironic for Beatles recordings. The Beatles and George Martin went to great lengths and used a lot of tricks to get the maximum dynamic range out of the primitive recording equipment of the day, and largely succeeded. Only to have the life squashed out of it by money-grubbing record companies who want to sell you the new "remastered" (ruined) version. The original Beatles recordings sound much better, especially the CDs; if you have them, hold on to them !!!
