If any kind soul would be willing to put an episode or two of David Marks on DVR and send to me I would be very appreciative. I have read much about David Marks and Norm but I am unable to enjoy any of the DIY network where I live in Japan.
I first heard Charnett (named for his dad Charles and a certain fellow named Ornette, IIRC) playing on the album _Ask The Ages_, with Sonny Sharrock (*whew*) and Pharoah Sanders (double *whew*). He
*almost* stole the show. Had a groove going that sounded more like Jimmy Garrison than anyone I'd heard in a long while.
Of course, if you mention Ornette, you have to mention Charlie Haden.
And if you're into the fusion thing, you only need to say one word: Jaco.
Chuck Vance (whose favorites are probably Mingus (for his compositions more than his playing), Ron Carter (for his playing more than his compositions), and Jaco (for basically re-inventing the bass))
Question about one of his favorite finishes... tung, linseed, urethane mixture... what ratios of these do you experienced people use (of those of you who are partial to this mixture?) As a newbie, I am looking for something that has a lot of beauty like tung oil that haas a protective coating like the urethane. As some previous posters noted about Norm... I'm not totally digging the thousand coats of urethane. Not only that, as a newbie, I have found that the oil finishes are more forgiving of air born dust than a urethane coating...
Maybe one should just read the obituaries and look to see when a guy dies who has WW listed as a life's passion, then swoop in on the distraught widow and buy the whole shop for $500!!!
Have you tried Waterlox? Some people on this group talk a lot about it so I used it on my last project (a pair of walnut endtables) and really liked it. I wiped on 4 coats, lightly rubbed with steel wool, and finished with paste wax. Granted, not as much protection as urethane, but I think more than straight up tung oil, and easier to apply too. Each coat was dry (to touch, not cured) in less than 12 hours.
I've never thought it was legit and is especially laughable after Norm's little "safety speech" which there's always a "Granted, I don't use them" addition to the end of.
I'd love to see them use all the proper guards and splitters, if for no other reason than to serve as a good role model. Do we really need to see the wood get cut in half or can we just assume that it does when it comes out the other end in two pieces?
This is often his way of referring to General Finishes Arm-R-Seal. Do search on this and you'll see someone posted an email from him saying that that was his brand. Sometimes the camera will show the back of the can and you can see it's a GF product
