Der Froschkönig - Lowrider 3 in Oldenburg, Germany

I started with revised edition, and played through 4th edition, with a few things a little newer. I think phasing was the “new big thing” when I gave up.

I have a few dual lands, and a few fairly rare cards. There is a Demonic Tutor in there somewhere, but it’s revised (white border) edition.

Still $50. :slight_smile:

The dual lands are closer to $400-600 in revised, before that even more…

I’m sitting here, with no clue what you blokes are talking about, but slowly realising how I got to be extraordinarily wealthy! (by my own standards at least!)

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

On a not unrelated note, one of my daughters was a pre-school teacher and has a stack of Pokemon cards collected from her classroom over the years and just stored in a bin to use as prizes for the kids. Last week “cleaning up” she thought she’d see if they were sellable.

Total value online is around $6k apparently :open_mouth:

Yeah, have an old Charizard and you are golden. :smile: I also played a bit of Pokémon. And Warhammer… At least I didn’t have too much money for weed then. :sweat_smile:

How does it look on the inside?

This one doesn’t have the fancy magnets. It has bumps on the wheels that click into notches on the plates, or maybe the other way around, can’t remember which has which.

Thanks. I tried that, but it didn’t really work out for me. It’s supposed to be wood later. :smile:

I never wanted to publish it, but I thought: why not, it’s got magnets. Not gonna win, but I thought it was a happy little accident, as Bob would say. :smiley:

This isn’t using a dewalt or katsu spindle on a Lowrider3 I’m guessing?

He is using a Makita, and in this video he does what he says above: https://youtu.be/gtrI1GG3TVI?t=762.

Step 2. Had some problems with the feeds (2000mm/min, 3mm DOC, 6mm endmill) and had to crank RPM all the way up, then it was smooth sailing. I also learned: chamfer first, the pieces start swinging. Surprise, it’s supposed to do that later…

Are you going to tune the drum tongues?
If you need more info on that let me know, it can make an amazing difference to the sound. :wink:

I would like to do that, but I could not find instructions on how to. The only one I found was: Leave the bottom open so you can tune. it… Ah, okay… Grr. So if you have any instructionns, I’ll gladly take them.

I was going to write out instructions but I can’t find my music theory book, therefore I’m going to assume that the pattern you used has some sort of complimentary scale. If not it might not be a bad Idea to do a bit of a search - it’s really useful if you have tongues and windchimes tuned properly - even kids whacking them indiscriminately is tolerable!

I found a reasonable instruction on Youtube for fine tuning - there may be more on the theory early on (I didn’t check) - I’ve only ever used a chisel, but a forstner bit seems to be OK if you don’t over cook it!

Thanks a bunch, gonna watch that later. I copied this one Schlagwerk 60P82 Schlitztrommel – Musikhaus Thomann, which is tuned in F. So it should be pretty close I hope. :smiley:

Actually watching it now, really interesting. Thanks.
