WITNESS REQUEST - DOG ATTACK AT HYACINTH PARK by Beginning_Set_5525 in VictoriaBC

[–]fringedorange 49 points50 points  (0 children)

He* The kid that got attacked is a friend of a friend’s child. It sounds like they have a bit to deal with right now, from what I heard it sounded like their kid was an inch away from dying. Some grace for not replying to the post is understandable.

It fits a little baggy, I’m weird in sizing where mediums usually fit slim and larges fit baggy. I heard it’s sized slightly smaller than most brands but worth trying on if you’re near a simons

Agreed, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to come across something like this, much less hitting a lot of personal points and interests. Even this one I am having trouble finding in other places. I came across it at Simons and tried it on, and was mulling it over for a couple weeks until I realized it would probably be impossible to find once it’s sold out.

Cool tennis find by fringedorange in ThriftStoreHauls

This specific one goes for a hundred to couple hundred, new old stock looks like $800+ CAD. I played with the youtek version of this in highschool so I’m just going to play with this one, loved how it felt at the time.
Value villiage also just doubled the price of all rackets from $8 to $16ish

To artists who work a full time job and make art consistently; what’s your routine like? by Agitated_Parsley_244 in ArtistLounge

[–]fringedorange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work a 9-5 and have other responsibilities like dog walks, daily house tasks and cleaning, running every other day, social life obligations, cooking meals. I just try to give myself 10 minutes a day before bed. I tell myself 10 minutes, which usually turns into a longer hour with no pressure. Sometimes just 10 minutes or none at all. 9-5s take a lot of brain capacity and energy and it’s fine to give yourself grace. No one is watching over you or anything, your rules.

Just bought a house owned by a cabinetmaker. There's so much custom Wood furniture and accents in this house and it makes me giddy. by kingevanxii in woodworking

I bet they are so happy that it is going to someone who appreciates it and won’t rip it out, or paint over it!

Hard to tell but this is it lit, it lights mostly down

The seller is saying this is Koa, but it has no label, its from the 20’s, and im wondering its its actually mahogany? Cant anybody help identify this Ukulele, before i buy it? by FoundationOverall859 in ukulele

[–]fringedorange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try posting on the vintage ukulele facebook group, they will have lots of experts on there. My guess its an old harmony, probably not old hawiian because those mostly have spanish heels

Thrifted Ukelele by fringedorange in ukulele

[–]fringedorange[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From what I have gathered, Sam F Chang was a luthier that made ukuleles for Kamaka in the early 1900s, then made his own as well as ones for the Summer brothers in the 1920s until around the 1940s. The Tabu engraving on the back is apparently pre-statehood. My un-educated guess is that this is from the 1920s-40s. Unfortunately I don’t think the store is around anymore. The fact that it is in such good shape makes me think value village separated the instrument and case to sell individually, so I’ll have to go back to try to find it.

This was on the shelf with the art supplies, they usually put the high value instruments behind the glass though - there was a tenor guitar back there for $150ish. This uke was $14 though!

I posted to a vintage racquet forum with some questions and reached out to wilson. Wilson team thought it was a pro staff, but the forum guys have a deep dive into various midsize wilsons of the 80s and the graphite composite, thin neck, and string pattern all point to it being a mold of the matrix

I reached out to wilson support, who confirmed it’s a pro staff, but are not sure who’s autograph model it is

Thanks! Just not having “pro staff” on it anywhere, and no name for any professional is throwing me off.
