I was wondering about this myself. Unusual. I can't imagine it's a repaired back, otherwise, why not respray before buffing?8mileshigh wrote:What was this? Looked like a JG 360, but with a MG back?

Great minds think alike! Maybe it's just the light and dust from the sanding? John Hall's voice-over says it becomes milky... still, it looks like a JG with MG backpaologregorio wrote:I was wondering about this myself. Unusual.

I suppose if it's a one-off or a NAMM special, we'll know before too long.
Same here. We throw out giant bags full of sawdust from the dust collectors here at the flight case shop.johnhall wrote:Regretfully, most of it is chucked out. Nobody wants sawdust or wood scrap here. We've looked at everything we can think of to recycle it, including as an additive to planting soil to making compressed firelogs; it just doesn't work economically.bartyclue wrote:Great video! Stupid question perhaps... but what i want to to know is what does RIC do with all the sawdust or excess wood shavings. Is it somehow recycled or used in any part of the mfg process?
If we were in a cold area, it could be used to fire boilers for heating but until we can figure out how to turn that into air conditioning, it's a problem.
True, luckily no andirons here, just a fire brick lined, quartz glass front wood stove that runs in the 90+% efficiency range. Made to handle pretty much any sort of wood. We occasionally get black locust, which burns amazingly hot (more BTU/cord than maple), but the smoke smell like you're burning something you cleaned out of the cat's litter box...johnhall wrote:Actually, you have to be quite careful using this kind of scrap in the fire. I used to take it home to burn . . . until I melted the andirons in the fireplace and the glass front shattered, sending hot shards that melted into the carpet.
I have a gas log set now.
The good thing about it is that after a whole evening of burning Maple, you only have about a cup of ash.
These are far from ratlike...they are my two chinchillas Cappi and Poppy:ajish4 wrote:How about Hamster, or Guinea Pig shavings!johnhall wrote:Regretfully, most of it is chucked out.

When the kids were small and had those pet "RATLIKE CREATURES", I paid a fortune for those darn shavings!
Wowza, sounds like a job for a Franklin stove, or else a pit.johnhall wrote:Actually, you have to be quite careful using this kind of scrap in the fire.

Only if it comes in the form of a bass Paul!
THERE YOU GO! PRESSED SAWDUST BASSES!
Disposable!
I kept my rodents on small wood chips rather than shavings - shavings usually have too much dust with it to be healthy.IvanMunoz wrote:The shaving do get expensive. Good for the company though, they are probably just selling off a waste product.ajish4 wrote:When the kids were small and had those pet "RATLIKE CREATURES", I paid a fortune for those darn shavings!
