Making wooden rings is a fun and interesting hobby that anyone can
learn fairly quickly, no matter if they have woodworking experience
or not. The process requires very few tools, inexpensive materials,
and just about everyone will be able to turn out a nice looking
ring on their very first effort. Inside these pages are step by
step instructions as well as photographic examples of over fifty
rings, and more than 400 color images that describe every aspect of
the process. This includes detailed chapters on wood selection, as
well as basic construction methods, gluing, inlaying, shaping, and
finishing. Each of these processes is described in detail, complete
with pictures and explanations so that anyone can follow along and
make an excellent looking ring. A wooden ring is more than just a
piece of jewelry, it is a traditional item with historical and
cultural significance. Wooden rings were some of the very first
pieces of jewelry ever made, and they have a tradition that is
almost as old as woodworking itself. Since the discovery of how to
work precious metals, wooden ring making has become a forgotten art
that only a few still practice today. With this book, anyone can
make a truly beautiful and one of a kind ring that is a statement
to craftsmanship and the time honored tradition of woodworking.
This book contains everything I wish I knew when I started
making acoustic guitars over fifteen years ago. It is not an ABC
book, but a companion that teaches many of the things that the
other books leave out. In these pages are instructions for making
tools, cutting blanks, inlaying exotic woods, and hand finishing
guitars. The methods described revolve around doing more with less,
and getting more out of the tools already in the shop. For the
thrifty guitar maker who would rather build something than buy it,
this book is the right choice.
Over 500 pages of text, with more than 1600 pictures and diagrams
to thoroughly and completely explain more than 200 guitar making
topics.
How to use small shop tools to re-saw blanks for guitar making
instead of buying them, saving money and expanding wood
choice.
Instructions for almost 50 tools, templates, and jigs that can be
made right in the shop, saving thousands of dollars in tool costs.
These include an electric side bending iron, fret slot duplicating
jig, four different types of clamps, an inexpensive hide glue pot,
and more.
An explanation of the use and abilities of several common shop
tools, including several specialty tools that are specific to
guitar making.
A detailed section on guitar making theory, which will expand the
understanding of how a guitar works, and how small changes to the
structure can have big effects on tone.
Several step by step guitar making methods that make some of the
more difficult processes easier and smoother in the shop.
How to make inlaying easier by using a few common shop tools, and
how to make several different styles of custom inlay.
Step by step instructions for making a custom soundhole label
using a powerful free program called Pixlr, to add the final touch
to any guitar.
A thorough finishing section that teaches anyone how to apply an
amazing finish without having to buy expensive spray
equipment.
A guitar making and wood working glossary with thorough
definitions and explanations of more than 600 terms."
In 1952 20th century entertainment icon Eddie Cantor survived his
first heart attack. He coins the name cardiactor. Sixty years
later, grandson Brian Gari undergoes a sudden open heart surgery
and has a quadruple bypass. Little did Brian know at two and a half
that his posing with his grandpa for the Heart Fund would end up
being so prophetic. This is Brian's personal story of what you can
expect (and not expect) when undergoing one of the most serious
operations one can ever endure. It is filled with both humor and
sadness when facing one of life's most challenging moments. About
the Author This is Brian's second book. His first, WE BOMBED IN NEW
LONDON: The Inside Story of the Broadway Musical Late Nite Comic,
was published by BearManor Media in 2006 and is available in
paperback, eBook and an audio version. Brian Gari is a composer,
lyricist, author, record producer and performer. He had a musical
on Broadway called Late Nite Comic as well as songs recorded by
everyone from Margaret Whiting to pop music legends, the Tokens
& Lesley Gore. He has written the liner notes for a huge array
of artists such as Neil Sedaka & the Beach Boys. He has
recorded 12 solo albums and produced all the releases on Eddie
Cantor.
WE BOMBED IN NEW LONDON tells the true story of one man's tenacious
plight to get his musical mounted. From its romantic inception to
its eventual demise and then the score's resurrection in cabarets
and recordings, this book takes you on a journey through the ups
and downs of the theatrical world with all its excitement,
disappointment, laughter and hope. Packed with memorabilia,
including rare photos and interviews, this book documents
composer/lyricist Brian Gari's minute by minute development of his
musical. Fortunately, he saved every scrap of paper, tape and
calendar to account accurately for why and when certain steps were
taken that eventually led to the sad dissolution of this promising
musical. Brian Gari began his songwriting career at age 12 with his
first song published at 15 and recorded at 17. He signed with
Vanguard Records in 1975 and has recorded eight solo CDs to date.
In 1987 his first musical, Late Nite Comic, arrived on Broadway.
With over 800 songs to date, he is currently at work on his next
musical, which is about his legendary grandfather, Eddie Cantor.
This is his first book.
