Jeffrey Holmes Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 Thought this might be a fun photo... The view made me feel happy to be working today. Anyone else have some benchtop photos?
R.Hayes Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 Greetings Jeffry, I can see why you would be happy, I will try to add a photo of what my bench looks like today. (recent new computer and camera )
R.Hayes Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 O.K. so I missed the chance for an attachment. Here is a second attempt. rh
Jeffrey Holmes Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Posted March 13, 2005 Like those little cams.... They look handy! Hope you don't mind... I edited your post so the photo shows up right on the page under your text.
Andres Sender Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 Jeffrey those two aren't related are they? Care to drop a hint?
tim2 Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 That's a neat picture Jeffrey. I have more "work surfaces" than you can shake a stik at. Here's one: Tim
Jeffrey Holmes Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Posted March 13, 2005 Hi Andres; Not really related... but both Italian. One is from Florence, the other Cremona. That help any? Happy to tell if you like. :-) I just enjoyed the way the light was playing on the curves of the heads (and the nice lines of the these heads didn't hurt the effect any). Hope some of what I was seeing came across in the photo. Tim; Like that shot! My daughter says "Hey, those bridges are awesome!"
tim2 Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 Thanks Jeffrey. I just noticed I had one sitting in there that I didn't want in there so I took another picture with a replacement and added a couple bags of uncut bridge blanks to make the shot a little more interesting. Tim
apartmentluthier Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 I see liquid hide glue on your bench! Opps . . I guess if I recognize the bottle, I am busted too.
R.Hayes Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 I honestly don't use much liquid hide glue but occasionally glue cork to chinrests, clamping pads, etc. but only if the glue pot isn't on. rh
fingerbord Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 Jeffrey is the pic inthe front a Guarneri. And I dont know if its the way the other violin is at a angle in the pic, but doesnt the overstand seem high.--- nice camera work.
Jeffrey Holmes Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Posted March 13, 2005 The head in the front is a Carcassi. The rear head is a Joseph (f. Andrea) Guarneri. The overstand is pretty appropriate for instruments with that type of arching... and seems to work very well on that particular fiddle. Thanks for the compliment. It's tough to effectively translate scenes from eye to camera, I've found... but I thought I'd give this one a go. Hope we get to see more benchtop pictures from some others today!
AMORI Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 I'd like to know more about those unusual bridges please. This is the only new pic I have - unfortunately. It's someting I had to do for a magazine in which I am advertising (my furniture). They managed to take out most of the wrinkles and grey hair.
AMORI Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Excellent post! We should all submit pix of our benches before being allowed membership:-)
PhilipKT Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 After looking at the very first photo, I would say: 1) EXCELLENT scrolls! They look gorgeous. I wonder how they sound... 2) WONDERFUL photography! If you had the same orientation of two violin scrolls, with a plain white back ground, or a background better suited to focus on the scrolls, I would cheerfully buy a copy, frame it, and hang it. <<<applause>>>
AMORI Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 How does one make the attachments visible on the same page?
PhilipKT Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 This is Jay with one of my cellos. I hope you like it. His violin shop is fabulous
PhilipKT Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 damn... how does one add a &*%^$ pictrue????

Craig Tucker Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 That's a great photo Amori. If I could have some of the the wrinkles airbrushed out, and some hair ADDED, I'd consider posting posting one of me at my workbench also. Actually I just cleaned the shop, so, I'll try to get one posted Tuesday, IF I can get my graphics program working. I'm always more interested in seeing what face goes with what name, even if I DO scrutinize the workbench closely also.
tim2 Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Yes I do. I'm currently working on putting up an online store to make it convenient. You can see an example by following the various links here: http://violinbridgeworks.com/TheStore/StoreFrontAll.htm or go directly to an example of the actual store here: http://violinbridgeworks.com/TheStore/ I put some of the pages from the actual store that I'm working on there for the purpose of asking people to see if they encountered any problems while going through the pages with their various browsers and operating systems. I encountered a problem with the iMac G5 which I got fixed and would still be interested to know if anyone encouters any other problems. Only a handful of the bridges are shown there and duplicates are shown for the "high quality" bridges while all the images shown there are examples of the "medium" quality. The picture of the "heart" bridge is missing one of the cutouts. Anyhow, I'll let everyone here know when you can start buying them online. Someone recently said to me that I remind them of a "slow moving train" - I always get where I'm going, but it usually takes me a while to get there. Tim
bean_fidhleir Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 Quote: How does one make the attachments visible on the same page? Put your photo somewhere on the web (you can't just have it on your computer unless your computer is a webserver). Copy the url into your post where you want the picture to appear. Put {img} in front of the url and {/img} after it, for example {img}http://some-site.com/photos/my_bench.jpg{img} but use square brackets around the 'img' and '/img', not curly ones. I used curly ones so that Maestronet's software wouldn't think I'm really putting in an image and 'helpfully' eat the tags. Hope that helps.
muddycreek Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 This is the first time I have tried to post a picture. Hope it works. Excuse the messy shop, this is as good as it gets.
