[HN] Five billion phones are dead in drawers – carriers want to mine them
  • It would be better to cut out the planned obsolescence of phones. I have a $1000 phone in my hand that is in perfect working condition. In a few months it will no longer receive security updates. I could use this phone for another five years if the manufacturer wasn't so greedy. That would reduce the land fill.

  • Anyone else like small spaces?
  • I am not quite sure how measure. I would say around 20" at the withers, but he is much bigger than any of the other dogs from his litter.

    I have had full sized Aussies before as well. Imagine taking that energy and compressing it to a singularity that is always ready to explode. That is Rufus and I wouldn't trade him for the world.

    This is a regular laying position. Seems cramped to me but what do I know.

    Rufus never slows down!

    This is Rufus. He's a two year old Mini American Shepherd.

    Rosewood and Walnut
  • The pickups are Lace Alumitones. They are ultra-quiet and articulate pickups and have no wire coils. The polished aluminum bar that you see is the conductor of the electromagnet. I also wired a ghost pickup system into the bridge.

    I cut the pickup rings out of sheets of copper and melted silver dust into them. This gives a discoloration from the heat and splashes of silver on the copper substrate. I have been silversmithing for a few decades, but woodworking is always a challenge for me. When you mess up, you can't just melt it down and start over.

  • Rosewood and Walnut

    This is a build from several years back. The body is chambered walnut sandwiched between Brazilian rosewood that was not useable for an acoustic guitar. I made the pickup rings, switch mount, and truss rod cover from copper and silver dust. It's not all polished up because I have played daily for almost five years.
