  • "Thanks Southern Ray", not the first Saw Blade I've used in a build, and don't be worried about stealing this idea, that's where I first got it from some years back, via something similar to the "Green Pot" build pictured below, and will do a Sound Sample soon, maybe a combo of all the Saw Builds I've done to date! :-)

  • "Thanks UJ', Yep!, spot on assessment, not a lot of Volume unplugged, but definitely Distinctive.

    :-) 

  •  This is Bad-ass. I'd love to hear it. I have access to a  half-ton of old dull circular saw blades. Been wanting to build a resonator using one on a cigar box. Hadn't occurred to me to use a wood bowl. Brilliant! Hate to tell you this, AGP, but I'm gonna steal this idea, (Grin)

  • HA!!!  That catches my fancy.  I didn't even know I had a fancy.   Another cutting edge and fun build from the Ausie Artisan.   I suspect it does not sound very good unplugged, but maybe distinctive.

    Plugged in, it should cut through the mix nicely.
