Post by Casey Burns »

I thought everyone would enjoy this alternative use for plastic tubing besides using it to make flutes:

Funny! This guy actually lives at walking distance from my place, and I first hear of him on the BBC through an American flute maker! ;) Does that even qualify as "small world"?

Yeah, my son, engineering student, wanted to raid my stock of flute/whistle making CPVC pipe after he first saw a Strandbeest on a TV show.

There's more about Jansen hereand many more videos on YouTube.

Good stuff, Casey.

Isn't it just amazing what can be going on under our noses, on our own doorstep, and we never discover it?

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

I was wondering where I'd seen it.... :puppyeyes:
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down.

It's mesmerising stuff. Makes me want to clap my hands in delight like a little kid. :)
