@horatio

I got a new camera so i took a picture of my hatchet- its a Jay Haide - "Guadagnini" copy - and it plays way better than I do. (note the non C&V bow..)

Sweet-looking fiddle! I’ve read good things about the Haide products, @jetboy. I’ll try to post a decent photo of my Eastman Strad, and perhaps my old Czech Strad. I reset the Czech fiddle’s soundpost Friday. Only took a half hour this time!

I was inspired by you and took a look for some old fiddles to practice restoring... be fun to try my hand. But looking for something I can pick up for $50 but has half a chance of sounding ok when I finish. slim pickings around here. probably have a better chance if I hit estate sales and such.

Sage MUSKY Fly Rod Blank 1190-4 MUSKEY | MudHole.com

Building an 11 weight Sage "Musky" fly rod from a blank this winter.

Certainly less expensive than a prebuilt and I can customize handles and guides.

Bring on the bruiser northerns and muskies next summer.

What camera head is that on your telecine?

My other hobby besides softball coaching is kids photography that I started last year - well, at least my kids playing sports.

Got a bit into 8 mm film a couple of years ago. Hence my avatar pic.
But mostly just to watch and edit the old family films, then get them transferred.
I like these old Swiss machines.
Bolex 18-5 - standard 8, on top
and an M8 , which I found complete and near mint. It sounds like a turbo jet taking off when you fire it up.

very nice bolex. I was into 16mm for a while and had a couple projectors I liked to use in projects. I loved just getting old films from junk stores and salvage places- some are amazing and many have never been digitized. So you are seeing something truly unique.

I still have my kodak pageant. Common model but like bicycles, sometimes they are common because they were so good. still works great!
