Dannyalcatraz Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 About 10 years ago, I bought my first slip-resistant, leather slip-on work shoes to wear in my kitchen. I instantly felt more secure in my kitchen with their purchase. After I wore them out, I replaced them, and have done so repeatedly a few times. 4 Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

Be safe! That'd be a non-metal protective toe shoe. That also has the benefit of not feeling like the toe-box is freezing in cold conditions like we often have here in New York! The last work boots I bought a few years ago (for a while now I've had an office job, not requiring safety shoes or boots) are 8" or 10" (I can't recall) all leather, water resistant, steel-toe, slip resistant, and electric shock resistant, too- plus really comfy! Nice boots! 3 Quote Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thethirdapple Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 8 hours ago, surfergirl said: Composite toe This is a reinforced “plastic” toe shield. Unlike steel toe, which can also literally chop your toes off if crushed, will not cause your toes to freeze in winter(tropical climate excluded) 🙃, nor risk conducting electricity. And a lot lighter which makes a difference when wearing them everyday. Gotta love our toes!!!

Stokely Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 re: shoes I work from home but for a while we had two elderly pets and let's just say it was best that all rugs were taken up. Hard tile in the house, so I followed the lead of my young adult son and got..... crocs! Man, they are like teams of small angelic porters under my feet floating me around! The band makes fun of me because I wore them to practice, but pffffffttt on them! And if I want, I'll wear jorts to practice too (I'd have to actually go buy some). They are just jealous of my beatific smile, their shoes only cause them consternation. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is so cool! 💡 Jennifer, I really think that you should go into making fiberglass guitars- either fully fiberglass, or fiberglass bodies with wooden necks and/or fretboards. They'd be resistant to the effects of climate and weather, right? You might call your brand Surfergirl, with a theme and vibe as surfy and Hawaiian as you and your family are. I want to live in a world where you're doing that! 3 Quote Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to live in a world where you're doing that! There are a lot of reasons I probably won't do that. I don't have a lot of space and I have 3 outside interests, 2 of which other people depend on me. There's a dirty little secret about the surfboard industry, not really a secret inside, it's not very environmentally friendly. Polyurethane foam and fiberglass are the main issues. They're are alternatives, but they have issues that need to be worked out. If I start my own business I will use hemp, flax and, if I can get it, basalt instead of fiberglass to glass boards. 4 1 1 Quote Jennifer S.

Does anyone use these materials and the process you have in mind to make surfboards? Can a somewhat foam like interior and harder shell like exterior be made, that would be light and have some pleasant acoustic qualities? 2 Quote Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are being used by small builders, less than two hundred boards a year. Basalt could possibly be used as a hard shell. I've read some data on it today, from the 20% I understood it appears to fall between fiberglass and carbon fiber. 2 Quote Jennifer S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertbluesman Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I used to shape and glass surf boards. I learned it from a dude from Solana Beach California. His name was Hank Byzak and the name of his brand was Pure Fun Surfboards He also built and sold Encinitas brand surf boards. I took that knowledge back east with me and taught several of the local surfers there how to accomplish shaping and glassing. Several of those dudes still make surfboards to this day. The materials were toxic as can be, so I quit shaping and glassing. Learning to do the curves and rails was a big help & when I got out west here, I used to work up in Scottsdale Az and Carefree Az making Bee Hive fireplaces for the rich folk. Hank taught me the secret to creating curves, and I used that skill to make all kinds of curved walls out of masonry. 6 1 Quote dbm If it sounds good, it is good !! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=143231&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someday I'll hafta rig up an exposed reverb pan like that on a stand, next to a Strymon El Capistan (also on a stand), for easy access to wild echo and reverb manipulations and freak-out sessions... I can get a lot of similar "sustainer" and 'bowed' sounds with either my crazy Sustainiac Model C "acoustic feedback generator" (physical vibration, not magnetic) from Maniac Music; or, even with an electric fan blowing across the strings to vibrate them (works best with active EMG pickups or the like). So, I'll leave the magnetic-pickup-driver type sustainers to everybody else, and go my own way... Cool, though! 2 Quote Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a set of exposed springs I pulled from an old Standel amp many decades ago, mounted on a wood frame (nice lacquered oak,) & wired to a 1/4" jack. I used it a lot in the early aughts, into my multiple loops & FX. 2 1 Quote Scott Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, play a Sustainer Guitar through the Aeolian Reverb, and you've got some otherworldly sounds . . . 2 1 Quote "Monsters are real, and Ghosts are real too.

Me too, autoharp with the chord bars removed. I used to bottleneck on the strings, while picking up various combinations of clusters with a humbucker in my right hand. I had it tuned to an E major. Very cool device. 2 Quote Scott Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
