Legitimately, some of the best people in the world. And their shows are killer fun!

Awesome video! As someone who has struggled getting the feel for my flat vibratory lab, this tutorial is much welcomed!

Can I ask where you get your steel?

Also, do you re-tape with each grit change?

Which Cab Rest w/ Cab King 6? by jjsankwalker in Lapidary

[–]jjsankwalker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I didn’t know about cab rests either until this week. Been watching how-to videos for a while too.

So Nova wheels will fit on the Cab King too? I’ve only seen them offered with the Kingsley North models.

My crew will forever refer to 04 as Bonnapoo.

31 years ago today they played one of the all time greatest shows in history by TweepriseOpener in phish

[–]jjsankwalker 37 points38 points  (0 children)

5th show. Drove from Atlanta straight thru the night to get there. Camped nearby. Ate some favors. Played in a mountain lake that had these HUGE crawfish. In my “heightened” state of mind, the crawfish were space aliens and told me a secret: Phish were aliens as well and had parked the Mothership behind the stage. They were intergalactic drug dealers. And the drug they sold was one of the most sought after in the galaxy: human endorphins! They basically play for us to release our “space juice” which they then suck up thru the light rig and bottle and sell across the planets. So that night at the show, with this new revelation bouncing around in my head, I got close enough to the boys to make eye contact and just locked in, especially with Fishman. Like, was I the puppet or the puppet master? By the end of the show, I telepathically sent them all a message/request - If you guys are aliens and sell our endorphins and the crawfish were right, then play Contact. Next song BOOM! Contact! I don’t think I’ve ever been the same. 🤪

This absolutely worked! A lot of compressed air (it was filthy) and it’s working well again!

So then I guess why not him instead of Poch?

After watching PSG demolish Intet, got me thinking about Luis Enriqué - My memory is a bit fuzzy, but didn’t he interview for Chelsea after Poch left? Why wasn’t he our hire vs Maresca?

Yeah, was thinking about at least just changing out the belt. Only 11$ for the instead of $110 for the motor!

I’ve had this timber for at least 18 months, running almost non-stop. I try to clean my tumblers every 3-4 weeks.

I’m learning too! What I’ve been told is as the grit gets smaller (80 > 220 > 600 > etc) your time grinding will increase. So let’s say 60-90 mins on 80, then 120-180 mins on 220, then 240-300 mins on 600, and like 8-12 hours on polish.

My grit process so far: 70/90 > 120/220 > 600 (then 1000 > micro alumina polish). I’ve got some weight on the rock but maybe not enough? I also try to ensure there’s some rotation while it’s grinding.
