That’s also a beauty. I like tricones as well. There may be one in my future, someday.
So not exactly gear. But if you enjoy arch tops, the finest craftsmanship, and builders, it’s so relevant here on the gear page. Written by Paul Schmidt in 2018, this book covers two of the...
Yeah. Well for me I want to hear and pull out better what’s in my head. So learning something by ear a phrase at a time does this for me. It gives me better certainty about what I’m hearing and...
