Warmoth Webcam

[Fred_Buzz]

Warmoth should have a live webcam. Be fun to watch sound being born. I'd get such a huge kick out of any glimpse of my order being built.

Judging by what little experience I have and from what I've read or been told, making video often takes hours of prep, hours of material and hours of editing to get the minutes of content we're accustomed to seeing. It's partly why it takes weeks or months to film a 90 minute movie. I strongly suspect watching a real-time webcam stream of a working shop would get painfully boring really fast.

Live webcam would still be awesome. I can see where the Warmoth Artisans might not care for it but I still love the idea of seeing my axe being made.

Warmoth is a BIG place. What department would you place the webcam?

Save your pennies, buy some tools, make a lotta firewood, then make your own guitars. Record the process, and watch it when you can't sleep :laughing7:

Could be like traffic cams but body routing and finish/paint would be the most entertaining I'd think.

I know how to make stuff. I design, fabricate and teach patients how to use artificial limbs and braces (everything but eyeballs and ears). I just know there's a time to step back and let a master craftsman do his/her thing. That's why I'd love to be a fly on the wall...

part of this clip shows me in my prosthetics lab.

Interesting, I once met a chap called Minns, who did some work to do with knees as I recall.

The folks who teach how to deal with prosthetics and/or uncooperative limbs are pretty amazing. After an incident resulting in a traumatic brain injury years ago, the doctors didn't think I'd be able to walk again. It was a long row to hoe, but I get around ok now, thanks to the physical therapists. I'll never be a ballet dancer, but I can live with that.

What was thought-provoking were the little rules they'd teach so you could deliberately control things that were previously autonomous. For example, when ascending/descending stairs, it was "good leg goes to heaven, bad leg goes to hell" depending on the direction you were going. In other words, If you led with your good leg going up, or your bad leg going down, it was a helluva lot easier to maintain your balance. How do they come up with that stuff?

 

[stratamania]

Yes, it is really interesting how they figure out all this stuff.  I am amazed that I have a new front tooth on a titanium post.

Having a live webcam on at all times makes most people way too self-conscious to get a really good nap.

No more picking purpleheart boogers  - have to wear an actual respirator.

Fisheye lens!

 

[SustainerPlayer]

Maybe just one cam on your tone worm farm?

No problem...subscribe to the channel, who knows doubleA may shoot some more videos.

 

[aarontunes]

Yep, I will. Next up is the neck department tour.

While you're wandering through the fretting area, I'm really interested in how you guys handle stainless frets and compound radius necks. I pre-radius frets and bin them by position, since they're so non-conformal. I'd love to know if there's an easier way of doing that. I don't even care if you have to kill me after you tell me; I just have to know. I promise I won't tell those pesky Koreans.

 

[swarfrat]

"bin them by position"  I know what you meant but I had to laugh as it sounds like my kid. My four year old is often a source of entertainment as he discovers American English grammar, "manufactoring" what he doesn't already know from what he does. 

"sensored" - the bathroom sink sensored my hands and turned the water on by itself.

and the one applicable here with stainless frets:
"bammed" - it wouldn't fit, so I bammed it again.

You might could radius them all to the largest radius, then run them through again for each position.
