What Did You Buy Today?

You can also warm them up a LOT. That makes them softer and stretchier.
It's OK to heat the metal also.

To clarify, this is the second Depth mic from the Providence era.

We have maybe 10 or so Depth SpeedMikes which were produced during the Glastonbury era.

Yes not free by any means, but I have 10 other things to get done that's not making my own tool holder apparatus so I farmed that out to that company.

There are lots of DIY tool holders that work well and take less space than those plastic ones.
Being cheap, I made my own. I had come by some cutoffs of aluminum angle and had a piece of Unistrut. Cut the angle to fit the dovetail on the tool holders. Drilled and screwed them to the Unistrut, fastened to back splash of lathe. 28 Locations.
