This is a bandsaw blade. It is a long circular band.
In the 90s, when I was renovating my colonial home built in 1916, there were some timber fretwork corners in a typical delicate design of the time.
I made a new door opening, and I was shocked at the prices of laser cut fretwork, even if I could get them to make the exact same design.
So in my usual fashion, I bought a BANDSAW (about $200 from memory) and the timber and cut out the designs myself, saving about $800 in the process.
I sold that house in 1997, and a few months ago, I had occasion to visit the house adjacent to it, and saw the current owner of my old place.
When I announced I was the person who had spent four years renovating the house, I was warmly welcomed and given a tour of the place, and was pleased to see the fretwork still holding up well in the door openings.
The owner was keen to see any photos I had of the house prior to the make-over. Now where were they again . . . .

The former LNWR Bicester London Road station, later renamed Bicester Town has reopened this week after a complete rebuild as part of the new Chiltern Railways Oxford - London route. The rebuilt station has been renamed Bicester Village. This is how the station looked at the very end of the BR era in March 1997 with the remains of the station building providing a rather tatty back wall for the platform. It was later tidied up a little but was removed along with the rest of the platform during the rebuilding in 2014.

.... to visit Mezzojuso gives a little bit the feeling of being abroad (while being in Sicily ...) a lively particular feeling; here we are inside a Church with Orthodox rite: I thank this very kind man for giving me the possibility to portray him .....
.... visitare Mezzojuso dona la sensazione stranissima e vivacissima di trovarsi un po' all'estero, pur stando in Sicilia; qui siamo all'interno di una Chiesa di Rito Ortodosso: ringrazio questo gentilissimo signore per avermi concesso la possibilità di ritrarlo ....

Mezzojuso was built by the Albanians, Arbëreshëc, mostly military people established near an uninhabited house, during the migration of Albanians in Italy; on1501 they came from Albania and they had brought with them their language, customs and the Orthodox rite. From 2 to 4 August 1862 Mezzojuso welcomes Garibaldi: this is to reconnect this long and short at the same time my report, to some passages of this feast: the characteristic carnival of Mezzojuso. The "Master of Field" is the name of this carnival representation and it take the name from the principal character: this is a love story, albeit in key easygoing, which contains the re-enactment of the assault the Count of Modica made to the Castle to capture the White Queen of Navarra. The representation begins with the arrival of the royal procession, made up of the King, the Queen, by the dignitaries of the Court, from the Dame, the Secretary, by guards and by the Moors, and the "Master of Home" soul procession . Performed a dance in the square, the group go up on a stage (which is the castle); after inside the "castle" begins a dance party; therefore appear masks tied to tradition, u Rimitu, the Wizards, the gardener; comes the Master of Field, wearing a red wax mask with a hooked nose and prominent lower lip, a white shirt full of colored ribbons, pants and red coat, he squirms and shake, with his left arm to the side and in the right arm he brings a short wooden sword. Appear numerous characters, the Drummer, the Ambassador, Garibaldi and his Boys, the Captain of Artillery, the Baron and Baroness on two donkeys, followed by their men on horses and mules loaded with firewood, trunks, various paraphernalia for manufacturing cheese, so the gardener, with laurel wreaths, then the Cavalry, formed by a dozen knights who throw sweets over the spectators.The "Foforio" kidnap the wealthy and releases them after paying a small ransom (in return will be able to eat and drink at will). There are Magicians who go in search of "Treasure" and they finally found it: a bedpan full of macaroni and sausage, shouting "forio forio maccarrunario" eat them with their hands. The war rages, with Garibaldi and his Boys clashes against the Saracens (with imaginative alienation of historical periods); The Master of Field goes up on the scale that leads to the castle, meets with the King that hurts him on the head, and he falls backward (from a good height ...) to be taken from the boys that in the meantime they were prepared under the stairs; But the Master of Field is not dead and he healed his wounds, he with army of Garibaldi climb stealthily for "fake scale" and, taking advantage of the moment of confusion, they surrounding the Court and bind the King: the Field of Master removes the mask, finally embracing the Queen, managing to crown their secret dream of love, and so ends the great feast of Mezzojuso, with the procession that will march in the streets the country and ... the king in chains....

Mezzojuso fu costruito dagli albanesi, gli arbëreshë, principalmente militari stabilitisi nelle vicinanze di un casale disabitato, durante la migrazione degli albanesi in Italia; essi provenivano dall'Albania e avevano portato con se lingua, usi e il rito ortodosso, nel 1501 stabilizzarono la loro posizione nella zona. Dal 2 al 4 agosto 1862 Mezzojuso accoglie Garibaldi: questo per ricollegare questo breve incipt su alcuni passaggi di questo report, lungo e breve al tempo stesso, sul caratteristico carnevale di Mezzojuso, unico nel suo genere. Il "Mastro di Campo", questo il nome della rappresentazione carnascialesca, è il personaggio dal quale prende il nome questa storia d'amore, seppur in chiave scanzonata, che racchiude in sè la rievocazione dell'assalto che il Conte di Modica fece al Castello per conquistare la regina Bianca di Navarra. La rappresentazione inizia con l'arrivo del corteo reale, composto dal Re, dalla Regina, dai Dignitari di Corte, dalle Dame, dal Segretario, dall’Artificiere, da alcune guardie e dai Mori, mentre Il "Mastru ri Casa" anima il corteo. Eseguita una danza nella piazza, il gruppo sale su un palco che ne rappresenta il castello, e subito dopo sul "castello" ha inizio una festa danzante; appaiono quindi le maschere legate alla tradizione, u Rimitu, i Maghi, le Giardiniere; arriva il Mastro di Campo a cavallo, che indossa una maschera di cera rossa con il naso adunco ed il labbro inferiore prominente, una camicia bianca piena di nastri colorati, pantaloni e mantello rosso: egli si dimena, si agita, con la testa ben alta, il braccio sinistro al fianco e nel destro una piccola spada di legno. Compaiono numerosi personaggi, il Tammurinaru, l’Ambasciatore, Garibaldi con i Garibaldini, il Capitano d’Artiglieria, il Barone e la Baronessa su due asini, seguiti dai loro uomini sopra cavalli e muli carichi di legna, bauli, armamentari vari per la produzione del formaggio, quindi le Giardiniere, con le corone di alloro, infine la Cavalleria, formata da una decina di cavalieri che lanciano sopra gli spettatori confetti a più non posso, mentre nella piazza l'artiglieria spara "colpi di cannone". Il Foforio sequestra i più abbienti e li rilascia dietro il pagamento di un piccolo riscatto (in cambio potranno mangiare e bere a volontà). Ci sono i Maghi che vanno in cerca della "truvatura", scavano ed ecco finalmente la trovano: un cantaru pieno di maccheroni e salsiccia che, al grido di “forio forio maccarrunario”, mangiano con le mani. La guerra impazza, Garibaldi coi Garibaldini si scontra contro i Saraceni (con fantasiosa alienazione dei periodi storici); il Mastro di Campo sale sulla scala che conduce al castello, si scontra con il Re e rimane ferito in fronte, ed ecco che braccia allargate cade all'indietro (da una buona altezza...) per essere preso dai figuranti che nel frattempo si erano preparati sotto la scala; però Il Mastro di Campo non è morto e, guarito dalle ferite, si riporta in piazza con il suo esercito di Garibaldini, quindi salgono furtivamente per la "scala fausa"(un'ingrsso posteriore e nascosto)e, approfittando dell’attimo di confusione, circondano la Corte e incatenano il Re: il Mastro di Campo, tolta la maschera, finalmente abbraccia la Regina, riuscendo a coronare il loro segreto sogno d'amore, e termina così la grande festa di Mezzojuso, col corteo che sfilerà per le strade del paese ed...il re in catene.

A 'new' bit of 'old' railway has been created near Pleck Junction at Walsall, as Network Rail has created what is known as 'Up Dudley Siding' to enable merry-go-round trains to and from Rugeley Power Station to run round instead of having to use nearby Bescot yard with the attendant operational issues. The siding is situated on what was the old 'South Staffordshire Line' from Pleck Junction via Dudley to Stourbridge which was 'mothballed' some years ago.On 8th April 2015 Freightliner Heavy hall service 6M66 0349 Immingham Import Terminal-Rugeley Power Station has just arrived in the loop and Class 66/6 No. 66616 has just detached ahead of running round the train. The head shunt is located just before the line passes beneath the M6 Motorway, roughly where No. 66616 is presently standing. Meanwhile, on the mainline from Besot, London Midland Class 350 No. 350231 approaches with 2A11 0850 Wolverhampton-Walsall via Birmingham New Street. Copyright John Whitehouse - all rights reserved

A bit more Linotopia. What's happening here though?
No scary paintwork, stripes, superchargers, giant wheels, cat-suited women, skulls or neon.
Well, even back in in heady 'crazy days' before he was 'normalised' by our own Mad Physicist, Lino built a normal car. Not completely standard - there is a grey toolbox in the tray.
This car was apparently built under request for someone who won some competition or something, and they were obviously more normal than LIno is, and requested the 1968 Chevrolet C10 Pickup in red.
So why is this model here now, built by me?
LUGNuts 72nd build challenge, - 'LUGNuts 6th Anniversary', - where all previous 71 challenges are available for inspiration for the months activities. In this case Challenge 9, - 'Haulin Ass', - the challenge that Lino had originally offered this car up for, and a full-dose of Challenge 25, - 'I Wanna Be Like You', this time much more easy, given that the car is..... normal.

The instruments we use changes the way we play. The track was recorded and played live directly on the iPad using Orphion’s “3rds Matrix” grid.
The natural position of my right hand touches A4 and A#4. The natural position of my left hand touches F4 and D4. By shifting my hands a note to the left and to the top right, I get RH: F4 F#4 LH: C#4 A#3 and then RH: A#4 B4 LH: F#4 D#4.
The whole song are essentially repeated notes of the following
1L: D4 F4 1R: A4 A#4
2L: A#3 C#4 2R: F4 F#4
3L: D#4 F#4 3R: A#4 B4
I don't know what key these are in. I just play. And so while as a classically trained pianist I am conscious of the notes and key signature when I play on a conventional keyboard, Orphion’s seemingly illogical layout renders some nice experimental results which I enjoy.
I use the in-app recorder to record my live playing which I then email myself as an M4A file. The file is then placed into Ableton Live where I manually wrap my human-playing into something which sounds somewhat on time — though obviously the nice rubato are lost. I will work on getting something that is less machine like perhaps.
Then I layered some repeated tracks, and added some ping pong to the piece to give it some nuance together with some Lexicon reverb goodness. Mastered with Ozone 5 and voila.
