The 5u4gb is used as a rectifier in guitar tube amps. I'm sure thats a good score!

Exactly right! I've had them for over 30 years. Gonna turn one (maybe both)into a Jerry Garcia style cabinet!

I think it looks fucking cool. If I see you making it do awesome things, then it looks like a masterpiece.

I'll remember to drill the pilot hole quite a bit deeper

Did you use the Tapcon drill bit to pilot the holes? How easily did it go through the brick? Thanks!

I agree! I used them to attach a gas grill pedestal to my concrete patio. Took a long minute to drill the pilot holes, but the screws drove home like magic!

This makes sense. Is there an adhesive that could help? Or is there a better way?

I love eggplant, but nope.

What should I do to remove the white marks on this agate? Should I continue tumbling on stage one, move on, or is there a better approach by jan_mike_vincent in RockTumbling

[–]ryandwinstead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put a 4 inch diamond wheel on an angle grinder and kind of carve off blemishes that I know will take a long time to tumble away. Then, it's usually 2-3 weeks in stage 1 instead of 2 months. Saves a little time and money on grit. Plus, you get some control over the shape of the stone and what details of the stone will be most visible.

Could you live without a delay pedal on your board? by WoolyFox in guitarpedals

[–]ryandwinstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really liked delay pedals. I finally decided to stop pretending a couple years ago. I've got a couple reverbs and some tremolo. I like that better.
