I had a friend who was a fellow shooter and reloader who constantly kidded me, wanting to melt down my tuba to make brass cartridges. He thought that would be "art". :laugh:

Probably?

But open to discussion whether it is found to be meaningful, or if it passes the threshold of Sturgeon's law.

In my haunts, this is a favorite thing to come across:

I was hoping that I’d started a guessing game, but I guess the TF users are either too smart or were utterly bored here.
When I was at Miraphone I took a lot of pictures.

-the first picture is a makeshift holder for the trombone bell cut-outs during the process of brazing and hammering out (or something like that. I kind of forgot. It was a long tour. )

-the second is brass waste

-the third a bell (duh)

-the last is a frame for soldering the valve section for compensating Euphoniums.

Anyway that’s it.

....
Don't think i'm bored. Distracted maybe?
Very reluctant to conclude i'm too smart.

Humor is also something that is subjective, and it's sometimes hard to tell where the bar is. Which is why bartenders are so important.

Any descriptive summary available?

I suppose I wouldn't mind hanging up a 26K like that...as long as it wasn't fastened up there permanently, and could be quickly/easily taken down and utilized.

Even a busker could use that to easily bring in $40,000/year (working 4 - 6 P.M., at strategic locations), and taking Sundays off.

(c. $40/hr, including travel time)
