I hate to interrupt the learned discourse of the political
scientologists but I came across a worthwhile article in the February
edition of Antiques (The Magazine).
http://www.magazineantiques.com/
The article is about the case furniture of Eliphalet Chapin (1741 -
1807), who did most of his work in the area of East Windsor,
Connecticut. Gorgeous photographs of Chapin's work, as well as that
of others who were influenced by him.
There are detail shots, including one of the underside of a chest of
drawers, the caption of which I have excerpted here:
"...The front feet are blind dovetailed together and supported with a
rabbeted quarter-round horizontal block inserted in a groove in the
top of the ogee foot. The shaped bracket supporting the rear foot is
attached with a row of small exposed dovetails. The feet splay out at
an angle of about seven degrees, measured from the rear..."
Hot damn! Makes a man want to turn off Norm, Roy and David (the
father, son and holy ghost) and high off to the shop for some plain
and fancy wood butchering. Turn on a little Bach or Mozart and tune
up that dovetail saw until you can get to within a gnat's noogie of
the scribe line.
There is a point to this:
Sometimes the best wooddorking magazines ain't wooddorking magazines
at all.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled drooling contest of the
witless bombastardi.

Some of them have nice pictures, but the antiques magazines will go
into a bit of depth about finishes and joinery.
Another area that can bear fruit is the auction house catalogues that
are printed when significant collections go up for bid.

Yes, Wish You Were Here is up there, and other than the obvious DSotM,
I've been gettin back into "Obsured by clouds". Nothing after
The Wall does a whole lot for me, though.

I have an old album of theirs called "Relics" that I bought in the
cut-out bin about 30 years ago. It is basically their music before
they went all electronic. Not a bad listen.

No you're not, I like 'em! <G>
I like Squizz and other heavy stuff on XM.
If I've got a CD in, it's often Godsmack, Rammstein (which scares my
wife <G>), Korn, White Zombie, Papa Roach, Saliva, and Zac's BLS for new
stuff, or Metallica, Accept (The original angry Germans!), Ozzy, Priest,
Maiden, etc... for classics.
Other times, I'm in a Little Feat, Allman Bros., or even Zydeco mood...
I can't imagine working without music. Varying the tune to the tasks
keeps the whole thing flowing.

Yep. :-)
I'm more likely to have old rock (late 60's to early 70's) or some
jazz (mostly guitar-oriented "fusion") on when I'm working. Plus some
Texana/Americana stuff like James McMurtry, Townes Van Zandt, Robert
Earl Keen, etc.

I will try Mozart next time I cut a dove-tail.. The Who just isn't

I am pretty much into all things Floyd. Maybe over the top even. I
got into them big time with DSOTM & have ended up buying about 8 or 9
different iterations of that album plus the CD versions. Ran out of
copies to buy so got the album cover tattooed on my leg. I think you
have to take Floyd as Floyd, and then after the split you have the
"Gilmour Floyd" and Waters. Two different styles and you either like
it or not. I like both myself, and listen to both probably equally.
As far as a favourite album goes, there probably isn't one. What I
listen to depends a lot on mood.
P.
Yeah, Syd was pretty much all of Piper at the Gates & then Dave showed
up starting on Saucerful of Secrets. (or maybe it was Obscured??) I
can't remember which album it was, or possibly it could be the DVD of
Roger Waters "In The Flesh", but Roger before or after Shine On
mentions that it is for Syd. It is too bad about the split of Floyd &
Waters. They had a great thing together, but as you alluded, there is
really no bad Pink Floyd. Or Roger Waters for that matter. Of course
there are a few billion people who would disagree, but what do they
know eh? :-)

Wow, how could I have missed this thread? I caught that one bit you've
quoted above, and I was getting ready to fire up a reply to point out the
same thing you did in the message I was already reading. :)
I agree with the OP that you either like post-Waters Floyd or you don't, but
I don't. Never have been able to get into it at all.
I've been thinking about Floyd a lot ever since I heard the "new" song by
some band named Korn. Every time I hear the DJ announce it that way, I
want to call the radio station and remind them that Pink Floyd recorded
more songs than Money, Wish You Were Here, and Comfortably Numb, including
that "new" one those young upstarts are covering.
They at least did it justice though, and I heard an interview with one of
the band dudes talking about how they had put it together to try to be
respectful of the original, yet with a Korn-ish feel. I'd say they pulled
it off pretty well. It's listenable, and I don't normally listen to Korn,
or their style of music. Hell, I might even say Korn did that synthesis of
mostly Another Brick in the Wall better than Faux Floyd does.
And my OWWR, I have a hybrid of the best of DSOTM with all of WYWH that
stays in my shop CD player. I haven't switched discs in years.

Hi Paul,
Not to pick Nits, but there is a third iteration of the band. First really,
when Syd Barrett was with the band. (Barrett, Waters, Mason, and
Wright-Floyd?) Got to thinking about this the other day at work. Funny how
things work isn't it? (OWWR) My turn table (Technics SL-B2 sits on a wooden
table top over my amp (Kenwood KR6400) beside the CD changer (Pioneer
PD-M550).

They've _all_ named their bloody axes "Eugene", and act surprised when

You could be right, Paul, but, if I recall correctly, wasn't it Gilmour who
wrote "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"? This is supposed to be the bands homage
(if you will) to Syd. At least that is the story I have always heard. If
you will look at A Saucerful Of Secrets, you will see shared writing credit
given to Gilmour on track 5 (The title track). Track 7 Jugband Blues is
written by Syd. I may be wrong, but I think this the first time that David
shows up with the band. Please don't misunderstand, I am not saying that
the band improved or has better songs after any of the changes. I love all
of Pink Floyd's music! That's why I am trying to collect the whole catalog.
I find very calming sanding while listening to Echoes or Comfortably Numb.
In fact, while making the wife's desk nameplate, I was listening to Umma
Gumma and Atom Heart Mother. Kind of kooky, but there it is. 8-)

But he picks up a Wummen House Magazine of SomeSortOrAnother whilst on the

albeit in a modern style.
Inspirationally speaking, paging through "Home" magazines might just pay off

Nah, Beethoven for the heavy stuff, Bach for clarity, and Mozart for
Saturday night.
When the workshop radio went on the fritz, I fixed it so that only the
classical station would play.

Well, that's cool. I guess it just never made its way to any local record
stores.
Not that I visit record stores very often. I already have (almost)
everything Floyd did, and what else is there? A bunch of weird looking
kids with metal things sticking out of their faces, mostly. I'm too old
for record stores.
