Jetzt müsst ihr mir aber schon mal erklären, wie an mir als Fan von #Surrogat eine so unfassbare geile Band wie #Shellac komplett vorbei gehen konnte? Den Namen hatte ich natürlich schon gehört, aber noch keinen Song von ihnen, sonst hätte ich die Discographie mit Sicherheit komplett im Schrank stehen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bICUEDqVBPY
Some years ago I built this sweet little 4w valve amp, based on a #Fender #5F1 circuit. This weekend I gave it 3 coats of shellac, to get that classic Fender tweed vibe. I was so happy with the results that I got out the #Fuji camera, put on a vintage Soviet #Helios lens and took a few sun dappled shots. I now envy the relicing team at Fender, who I imagine sit around smoking, drinking coffee and inhaling the rich walnut aroma of turpentine and #shellac all day.

Records from the renowned collection of the late Joe Bussard are being put up for auction. So far there are only five records listed, but it's likely there are many more treasures to come. Bussard's collection of 78s may have been the largest in the world.

This took way longer than I thought, but the box I was making with #handtools is finally done. Tried using #shellac for the first time, completely messed up and had to re-finish the lid as you can clearly see, but overall pretty happy with how it looks 😊

The most expensive part of "fine" woodworking is not the material, but the labor for the finishing.
A good #shellac work (French polish) requires HUNDREDS of hours.
Even if you give the ébéniste 10 $/hr (less than flipping burgers), 100 hrs are always over $1000.
Can people afford it, to have a nice table?
Or people will turn toward formica with a fancy photo of wood printed on it, which just "looks like" expensive?

As I sit in the crowded travel trailer I live in - my only music choices being digital - I miss that ritual fiercely. I still dance a little sometimes, but not as much as I would if it didn't make my whole "house" rock back and forth.
I miss the ritual of putting some vinyl (or later shellac) on the turntable, and looking at the cover art, liner notes, and lyrics as I listened. Or singing and/or dancing as I listened. My room with bookshelves that held not just books but music recordings.
The first record I bought with my own money was a 45rpm. I can't remember which.
The first LP I bought with my own money was Nilsson's "The Point".
My first stereo console was a gift. My current stereo console (unfortunately in storage) is a 1966 KLH/Garrard that was a gift to my dad upon his graduation.
