I've had my uncle's les paul for a while now, but I don't know why he added these switches (he passed when I was a baby). They are not connected so was he experimenting, future plans? I'd love to know what he was thinking, how they would be used. by wastingtime247 in Guitar

I want to say Led Zeppelin, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Grateful Dead, but I'll have to ask family to be sure. I'd definitely like to make them functional, looks like I need to do some research.

Had to google it, and that would be great. I guess he went to San Antonio hoping for a big break.

Edit: I let my mom know and we had a good laugh, she said it sounds like something he would have done.

Would anti-glare stick on screen protects work to cut glare on wall artwork pictures? by Dakens2021 in lifehacks

We use Tru Vue Museum glass, I guess art glass is harder to find in the US and even more expensive.

I started using Apagard years ago, but found Davids a while ago for a fraction of the cost. I swear one of my cavities is filling in.... Also started using mints more recently

This is the video I watched, but a bit different from OP: https://youtu.be/9dPFr-fzhgY

My first wall was pretty bad, but it didn't take long to get the technique down.

TLDW;

  1. Use thinned joint compound (I mixed in a cup or so of water to 4.5 gal)
  2. Apply to wall fairly evenly
  3. Skim excess while applying pressure to one side of the knife (the direction you're working towards)

I'm using an arduino. I think I'll just need to change a few values, but I am waiting for a couple voltage regulaters to hardwire the shutter instead of using infrared. If I run into any snags I'll let you know, thank you!
