On top of the windows showing the waveform of the recording is the time along the track. Just move our cursor in the window along to where you want...

My understanding is the blue is line which I think is 1V peak to peak and pink microphone is lower. Microphone is likely for a crystal mic which,...

I don't mind the ads since after a few seconds of most you can skip. What I find weird in my case is that this works quite well on my computers, on...

I think a house fire caused by extension cords is people running them under rugs where they get physically damaged over time (broken wires which...

Other things being equal, it is better than the wires in the wall since it is in free air unlike the possibility of it being surrounded by insulation...

Dale, I'm not a big fan of oak bowls because they look like oak but those are lovely pieces - very nice contrasting wood.

I'll do what I do when I watch Jeopardy - my answer was good enough for me to count it as correct and I'll file medullary away in the "maybe I...

I believe you want to extend the shaft from the ball valve, not the handle length itself. If so, I'd get some material, hardwood will work if the...

If it is red oak it should have oak rays coming out from the center and being freshly cut should have a definite oak smell.

My favorite Archie Bunker line, and appropriate for the season, is set at what I believe is a Christmas Eve dinner and Archie is saying grace....

Getting the signals input from something running on the computer can be tricky at times. If you search for something like recording YouTube with...

Tool rest too low as in allowing cutting edge too low. A 1/16 cutting edge too low on a 18" dia piece is less of a problem than 1/16 on a 6" piece.

The first All in the Family I came across was the one where his brother died in his house. Pointed comments about the funeral industry to the extent...

No argument with most of what has been said but a tool rest too low (whatever that is, and it depends on the workpiece diameter) will make a catch...

Jim Becker's advice about not using an ISP's mail service but use Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or .... which are totally independent of the ISP is right on...

Don't know about the others but I've been told the regular electric water heater does not and the elements should be always covered. From what I see...

No direct experience with that configuration but my experience is that a water heater will develop a very slow leak first as it rusts through....

If we are going away for the whole day or more, then the water is turned off. Ball valve makes it easy. I also have audio alarms on the floor by the...

Good point! :)

IMO, if your are interested in sound work on a limited budget or even if you have a good budget, spending time to learn how to setup Audacity to do...

Microphone connector: Pink Line out or headphone: Lime green Stereo line in: Light blue The microphone , pink, would be for low level sounds....

That sounds like a Morse taper for the press fit. Do you have to use a draw bar to keep it in place since usually such mountings come loose without...

Richard makes a good point, dark wood is not ideal under a WB finish as a general rule. I was using "white" wood and generally despise the yellow...

I agree 5 gallons is better than a strong flow but there is nothing guaranteeing the leak will be onto the concrete floor. 5 gallons on a hardwood...

I used to wonder about this a long time ago. I have Oneway Stronghold and Talon chucks and just lock the spindle and use the chuck key. I guess one...

Even the amount of water in a well's pressurized bladder tank could be a disaster on a fancy floor or elsewhere and shutting off the pump does...

Stone wheel wear is a reason you cannot just "set it and forget it" but the rate of wear depends on usage.

Probably a lot of options of which I've used none. You could add a bit more info though. Cell or landline phone? Computer type and OS type such as...

I used it on a vase type vessel of spalted birch about 2" dia x 7" tall. This was water-based gloss and I wanted to keep the whitish appearance of...

How much money have you invested in the lathe? If it's significant then spending a few bucks for a cheap pickup day rental and pallet jack shouldn't...
