The best part is how he doesn't oversell it, it just comes out in his usual calm, seemingly completely sane tone.

... and taste??? Did Ted actually test that?

@@alansturgess1324 not likely, but just checking to see if we pay attention :-)

Yep. Caught it and chuckled.

@@footnotedrummer maybe its the sleep depravation but I had a full body belly jiggling laugh over that his comment

And that, of course, is Mary Ford, her performing name.

Making a million a year back then.

@@Samalyzer45 yes and she was a dam good guitarist in here own right , I listen to how high-the moon regularly such a beautiful but strange song ! Cheers

Not sure about ppl forgetting that, if you're in to guitars it's pretty well know.

Mary Ford had one of those lovely warm voices that lent itself perfectly to multi-tracking. Her voice also perfectly fitted the 78 recordings, never quite the same on vinyl. I always feel sad that she had problems and that she and Les split up.

Hard to beat Leslie.

True, but Leslie was a God.

Also: Keith Richards. "Midnight Rambler" with capo on 7th fret... ;)

Didn't Billy Gibbons also play a Les Paul junior?

Slöjd i Swedish.

I bought a pair of Mora knives after seeing them on this channel; they are the sharpest blades I’ve ever used. Feel great in the hand as well.

Danish, too. "Sløjd".

slots involved woodworking, yes, but papermodeling and cardboard modeling as well. Students began as paper, progressed to cardboard and then to wood and eventually sheet metal. It was to teach exacting standards of eye-hand coordination from very young ages. The Charlotte Mason method of homeschool and cottage schools have revived its use and these knives have been used with paper and cardboard as well as wood.

I inherited one of those knives from a friend's father who passed away. They are pretty handy, but not shaped like anything a typical American woodworker sees.

And normally within a few days.

Great explanation there thanks! It made me check your channel for any videos, did you ever consider doing some you sound like a good teacher like Ted.

L Wilton, I have not only repaired pots in this fashion but linear slide faders as well. One thing in your otherwise excellent comment that I will take issue with is, I would never scrape or scratch the conductive metal parts of a potentiometer or fader with a razor blade unless I needed to rough them up for gluing where they had come free from the nylon insulator that the wiper was attached to. A pencil eraser (an ink eraser containing silica or pumice is better) will polish the oxidation off of the metal parts without scratching them, leaving a smooth surface. If they're really badly oxidized, use a fiberglass-bristle "scratch brush" to clean the wiper, preferably one with a softer glass bristle (they can vary, depending where you get the refills from). The nylon disc or block that the wiper is attached to can be notoriously difficult to glue to (I use JB Weld epoxy) and so you will probably have to rough that up as well (scratch it with a dental pick, Exacto knife or miniature awl), or perhaps use the soldering iron to heat the base of the wiper assembly and push it into the plastic slightly, melting the plastic just enough to fuse the wiper base to the nylon, and than put epoxy over it. Obviously you will have to degrease all the parts thoroughly beforehand. If the nylon block or disk that the wiper is mounted to is split, you might be able to bridge the crack with a piece of wire similar to a small staple; heat it with the soldering iron and press into the plastic to bridge the gap and stabilize it. You can probably pretty much forget actually gluing the crack because nothing really sticks to nylon very well. I bought a set of scratch brushes online from Esslinger's, which sells watch and jewelry repair supplies and tools. The German made EuroTools scratch brushes, and the skinny Bergeon ones, are higher quality than the Indian-made cheapos and use refillable inserts. I also have scratch brushes with brass and steel brushes as well, but I almost never use them. It's the fiberglass scratch-brush for the win! When the little fiberglass nubs get too short to work in the handheld tool anymore, I adapt them into a battery powered artist's pencil eraser,and you can use them sort of like a Dremel tool,, for cleaning and polishing more efficiently than doing it by hand. Just one last thing: it's best to wear gloves when you're using the fiberglass scratch brush because little bits of glass fiber will break off and can embed in your fingertips, which is especially annoying if you are a working musician and have gigs within the next few days. Vacuum your workbench thoroughly after using a scratch brush, to pick up any loose bits of glass fiber that are laying around which could scratch a finish or end up in your fingers. Don't let the precautions worry you too much. These are excellent tools and everyone who works with electronics should have them. If you do get a bit of glass fiber stuck in your fingertips, you might be able to find it under high magnification and pull ot out with sticky tape or plastic tweezers; otherwise it'll come out on its own in 3 or 4 days......😖

@@goodun2974 Thanks for the reply! The case I was talking about wasn't the wiper coming off the insulator, though of course that happens, but I've seen the wiper arm itself crack right at the end of the insulator, where it curves down to contact the pot surface. I've usually seen this with wipers that are split into two thin strips, and one but not both will crack. Obviously you need solder rather than glue for that fix. Also, older pots, from the 10s thru the 60s, typically used either Bakelite or phenolic board as the insulator, not nylon or a modern plastic. These are stiffer than nylon or modern thermoplastics, and quite easy to glue to, if that is needed. The reason I mentioned scraping is that sometimes these old pots have antifungal varnish internally on the insulator, which runs down an eighth of an inch or so onto the wiper arm. You need to get this varnish off. An eraser won't do that. A fiberglass pen-brush might, but there would be a huge chance of snapping off the remaining part of the wiper from the pressure.

@@lwilton , interesting ---- I've only seen the antifungal coating on military equipment and military-surplus pots (Clarostat pots in particular). I wonder if a solvent will remove it. I've never seen a wiper-contact fold over or snap off unless something like a small screw or solder ball fell inside the pot (or somebody stuck the spray-can straw too far inside the pot), but cold-worked metal can certainly be unstable and prone to fatiguing. I have yet to try peening the end of a shaft to reattach the plastic disk; I can imagine the possibility of a bakelite disc snapping from the pressure.

@@lwilton ps, we both need to post some videos...... .
