Finnegan is helping in my shop.

I hope to build 6sn7 amps again soon and he tends to be right in the middle of the builds.

A new way to improve SD?

Woodstock happens to be my dogs name. Here is Finnegan reacting to something @bcowen said. He can't exactly cover his face with his paws. Woodstock is trying to pretend he does not know of Bill.

That cat looks a lot like Finnegan. Here he is helping with some rosewood as I added splines.
I am having a hard time listening to other tubes besides Melz right now. This morn I am back to a 1969 1578, 50's and 60's versions are my favorite in that style of tube. I keep Melz in padded cases, Finnegan proof.

Where are Finnegan's safety glasses? Is this an employee failure or a management issue?

Management for sure.

I can trust him with pieces of wood, tubes are another matter. The boxes they come in are not enough protection so I have to use large padded boxes.

As far as Melz 1578's, they appear to have the same construction for a 30 year period yet they sound so different. Enhanced mids in the later tubes but very nice to listen to with some vocals. It turned out to be a round mica Melz I sent you in the tube challenge, I found it the other day. I had pulled it so as not to send it to Jason at Schiit.

I am listening to an excellent recording of the Hollies, Long Cool Woman in a black dress.
That song requires an older Melz for my ears, a 63.

Oh and Finnegan will not be close by as I use a kataba saw to flush cut the splines.

Love that song...and haven't heard it in ages. Haven't ever heard an excellent recording of it either...you streaming it or do you have a disc?

Streaming it from Tidal in Master mode, I like it a bit better than the CD quality version even though it might be slightly lossy.

Oh, well I guess everything is cool then. I thought Tom had put him to work sanding. If *I* was managing, I'd definitely pawn that task off on some unfortunate underling.

I spent at least a day sanding ebony for the top on FLTWS's meter box. After you work with that, most any other wood is a pleasure to sand. Most everything is relative.

Been reading a couple of articles about "Shou Sugi Ban" finishing. Might look nice?

* "Shou sugi ban (焼杉板) is the art of preserving and finishing wood using fire". Art, Fire, in the same sentence, how can that not be a good thing.

Preserving the wood is not a big factor since my work is for indoor usage but I do like that affect. I could try it on lesser expensive light wood but it is not something I would try on expensive hardwoods.
