The german language has two words for “owl”: “Eule” and “Kauz”. I’m a native speaker, but I had to look up what the difference is (Wikipedia/Deepl):

“Eule” means “owl”.

“Kauz” also means owl, but specifically the small, fat and grumpy looking kind:

Various bird genera and species from the family of true owls (Strigidae) are referred to as [Kauz]. The differentiation between the terms “Eule” and “Kauz” is a peculiarity of the German language and has no equivalent in terms of zoological systematics. [Eule] are generally rather elongated, slender bird species, whereas [Kauz] have a stocky, large-headed shape

[Eule] are considered thoughtful and wise, whereas [Kauz] are considered clumsy, eccentric and reclusive.

That’s literally it, it has nothing to do with biology. So the correct translation would be “grumpy-looking goshawk owl”. 😉

It’s called displacement aggression The sportsball fan identifies with his team to the point that it feels like he lost the game himself. Since he can’t express his frustration and subsequent aggression towards the opposing team (since he is in front of his TV several 100km away), he expresses it towards the next best thing that is weaker and accessible, e.g. furniture, walls, wife and kids…

Yes, and even the bridge is amaranth!

I just used standard alcohol-based varnish. Tbh I when I started this build, I didn’t even realise it would do that. 😅

Those are standard (albeit fancy) “french eye” tuning pegs from Thomann Germany. The endpin is in the same style. Maybe for the next instrument I will try to make them myself.

I wish. Lutes are an entirely different beast. Definitely on my bucket list, though.

Have you adjusted the speed settings according to what the manufacturer says? LW-PLA can only be printed at a very low speed or else it clogs. It also needs constant speed. For example for colorfabb LW-PLA, I had to set all speeds to 40mm/s.

So far I just use a baroque bow. I work on a cherry bow from time to time, but it’s quite difficult.

And here is a Quick vocaroo where I play a few notes on each string.

That’s probably because they’re closely related. Every region in Europe has their own variation of a small, pear-shaped, three-stringed instrument. There’s the Russian gudok, Bulgarian gadulka, Spanish rabel, and so on…

I think the masked-off area is easy to spot:

The body got an alcohol-varnish and the fingerboard is oiled. Worked pretty well.

I’m now doing the hide glue method. I did a test piece and oil doesn’t seem to penetrate the hide glue at all.

Is this owl using eyeliner?! ; )

I don’t own an SLA printer. Where is the fuckup?

Linux Mint is what you’re looking for.

This type of guide would wear out too fast, I think. It would also take away from the drill length, which I need to drill relatively deep holes (high depth to Diameter ratio).

I think that’s exactly what I need! At least this type of drill guide:

Why are very different kinds of tools named the same?

I just want it to be disclosed that this is a form of advertisement before I click on the link:

The post should be clearly marked as advertisement in the title, e.g.

Because it’s an ad.
