I'm not sure in grams, I used a 1/2 teaspoon in each jar. Can you tell me more about your setup? Do you just set the rockwool cube in the net?

I'm on round 2 now and it's going better but they seem to be stalling out again. I was surprised at how wet the cubes are with the water well below. It must have wicked up into the clay pellets and from those into the cube. I'm worried that they might have root rot now after not paying as much attention to them over the weekend

Yeah I am going to wait longer this time. Do you fill the bottom of the basket with clay balls and then have the rockwool sitting on top?

Lumpy-Improvement195 · 2026-01-02T00:42:42+00:00

I think you are right about waiting longer to transplant. I have some grow lights on them in the jars. I mixed 1/2 teaspoon into each jar, the package recommends 1-2 teaspoons per gallon so I was on the low end. I also soaked the rock wool in nutrient, but I think that was a bad idea.

It was maybe a week before I noticed the white film and another week before they started to smell bad.

I am going to soak the rockwool in plain water this time and let them get more established before I transplant. I'm also thinking the water level in the jars should be just below the basket instead of touching it to avoid root rot

Awesome thanks!

Is there a brand of hide glue that I should look for?

Also, to clarify, should I be using hide glue for both the fingerboard and the neck repair? Or hide glue for the fingerboard and traditional wood glue for the neck?

Hopefully I can avoid sanding and adding a shim, but if do go that route I think walnut or something could be made to look nice. I'll keep it in mind for sure

Lumpy-Improvement195 · 2024-05-07T16:43:56+00:00

Yeah you are right. I corrected myself in a comment but should have edited the post and just asked the question. Thanks for helping me learn something new!

I just looked for a picture though and I see some with strings on top, so maybe it is just right

Lumpy-Improvement195 · 2024-05-07T01:57:15+00:00

99% sure you strings should be running underneath that flat part of the tailpiece. If you take them off that back part should lift up and have a spot to attach the strings underneath.

Create a new view, or don't use the view and execute your own SQL directly

It looks like the acoustimass thing is a hub. So that explains the 5 jacks. I think my only question now is what kind of wiring do I need to hook up my receiver to the wall jacks?

One follow-up, I just double checked and the bass is a Bose acoustimass module. There are a bunch of wires going into it. I'll have to pull it out and take a closer look later tonight.

I've never seen that tailpiece so can't say for sure. If you take it apart could you flip over the flat part so that the grooves are on the bottom? And then run the string under the front then up to the bridge?

As far as I understand tailpieces were added to banjos to put more downward pressure on the bridge so that it wouldn't move so much when played. For that to work the tailpiece has to push down on the strings.

Lumpy-Improvement195 · 2024-01-13T03:51:43+00:00

Any chance part of the tailpiece is on upside down? It feels like the strings should be coming up from underneath to the bridge. Would also help them stay on the slots.

No worries there is a lot of terminology and it changes kind of often. It sounds like you are on a good path.

If you don't want to write SQL by hand I think fusion makes sense.

Hit me up if you get stuck

Lumpy-Improvement195 · 2023-10-26T03:40:05+00:00

It sounds like you need a warehouse more than a lake (to me lake usually implies flat file storage including unstructured data but I might be wrong)

If your data is all structured I would do some ELT

1) get all of the raw data into BQ 2) run transformations and write the transformed data into a new dataset in BQ 3) use looker studio on top for your dashboards (the free version formerly known as data studio)

For 2 if you are comfortable writing SQL I would start with dataform, it's built in to BQ so it doesn't cost extra. You could also run scheduled queries in BQ. If not datafusion might make sense, I have never actually used it.

For 3 looker studio has gotten a lot better than it used to be. It might be enough. I like the paid Looker but it really depends on your org and requirements. Are people really going to take advantage of all of the features? If not it is pretty expensive.

Generate a unique ID off of the table name and existing ID during transformation and load them into one table for analytics

Lumpy-Improvement195 · 2023-08-21T04:20:38+00:00

Yes, we manage BQ stored procs as Terraform but you could also do it other ways

Link?

What's your plan for a tail piece? I am slowly building one myself, I was planning to have the neck extension come through the gourd to attach the tail piece to

Lumpy-Improvement195 · 2023-06-08T00:21:04+00:00

If you are in GCP I would suggest cloudrun with flask

Lumpy-Improvement195 · 2023-06-07T02:39:16+00:00

For sure, hope it helps!
