A little of this and a little of that

compelling little knife you made there, Tai.

 

[Raymond Richard]

Ita, I like that.........

 

[bluejaunte]

Very nice Tai. When did you get the lathe?

 

[Tai Goo]

Thanks.

Aaron,... haven't gotten laid in a while... not sure I want to. You?

 

[Lorien]

not sure if you wanna get laid? Are you ok?

 

[Tai Goo]

Lorien, yeah I'm O.K. You?

... don't want to get myself in trouble.

Say WHAT? Looks to me like you have been playing on the lathe. I'm not sure where the other reference originated?

Oh, lathe... I thought he said laid. LOL

Yeah, I turned the handle on my new mini lathe, and that little ektara tuning peg off to the right. That's a natural gourd for the ektara body that the knife is setting on. The gourd's not turned. I'm making a one string spike fiddle, just for fun.

Wait, really? :foot:

I saw a cool treadle-powered lathe on The Woodwright's Shop a few decades ago.

Sorry Aaron,... didn't have my reading glasses on.

Nice, I made a film about single stringed guitars and their involvement in blues music. A fiddle sounds like a fun project, cool idea.

I like the knife, the copper really sets it off.

Cool photo, I noticed a few interesting things you did there...

Here’s a couple closer shots of the pommele sapele handle and copper fittings.
