The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

ITS ON BACKWARDS IN THE PICTURE! Classic...

Yes! This fossil has some great stories and knowledge. I'll swing by

I am making advertising and all my customers have been super happy so far. I try to warn people about low fidelity but they don't really care although I have had some really dumb questions directed at me. For example a guy came over and cut some drum and bass stuff. Then he said OK now can we lay do...

I find special super secret picnic plates from100% poly-vinyl-chloride made in a good plate factory in black shaggy.. Still a pain in the ads but I love doing everything by hand and my wife mows the lawn with scissors. Not even joking

What are those washers you got on the head? Is that for weight? Do they come with the setup? I agree, this is a sweet piece. I think I'm gonna stick with my k8 until Dana comes along though. If you don't get that joke you're not a real troll. Cheers

When the corner of your cutting head gets bumped by the drive pin, stripping both mounting screws! I am kidding. Click the above link for aardvark mastering's RIAA stuff. That guy is really cool and knows his stuff inside and out and has made some crazy innovations. Yep

"shoulda used more tape" congrats Bryan that looks great

Oh dude you know it's something easy don't give up!

Good luck experimenting and innovating while getting toxic fumes everywhere lol. "giant later" I vote against lasers dude ALL THE WAY.

Am radio at best. More like Edison's "photophone" very angular. I actually watched the interview. Cringe! This guy has no Idea what in the Dickens he's talking about

Haha! Dr. Evil and his giant "laser"

When a customer asks you that, you gotta do one of those crescendo laughs where it starts as just a chuckle and and ends in full on belly laugh with convulsions and mild tears. And, as you're catching your breath and wiping the tears from your eyes, you pour them a snifter of your finest Porter and ...

I walked into oreillys auto parts the other day to get some transmission fluid and decided to get some disc wax. Out of 5 employees on duty I just asked this one dude if there was a better, classier wax than turtle. He said well what are you using it for? I said well buddy I cut records. And I swear...

Get the k8

My wife just said "eww even I know that's sloppy" that's a rad picture though. I was finally able to log back in because I'm bad with computers. I am/have building a few moving iron mono heads also. No testing yet though. My first attempt was surprisingly successful! Although i know little to nothin...

Seconded. Go see Len. He's one of like 10 or less real old school trolls left in the world who really know their shit. Depending on what you're working on I might rank him at #1 or 2. I live up in Eugene Oregon about 18 hr drive up if you head to Portland and wanna see what a real Frankenstein works...

Sticky. Great video - notice the intoxication levels of this dude over the 6 hr course, very troll. This is what you need to know about moving iron heads, including that they're the same as magnetic reproducers. I just got a reproduced head labeled October 13, 1925 from preservation in CT. (right ne...

Its just something you gotta mess with. Do it yourself.

The swarf is a mess and the cuts sound like crap and it'll wear your needle down too fast. Just do lexan or whatever.

Ok so I live in Oregon where weed is legal and they are making fancy presses and extruders and shit for hash. Also hemp fiber cellulose. Which has got me thinkin records and cutting and whatnot. Also, cutting on acrylic sucks don't do it.
