    Daisy, a luthier, has a workshop but no dust extraction. She installs a system. It's PVC, so she wants to ground it. This video is a discussion and demonstration of electro-static electricity, grounding, and installation of the extraction and the grounding wires.

    She has another video here about Building a ukulele in 4 days and I didn't really know which one to post. That time limit sounds like it's going to be a dumb and frantic video, but it really isn't. She knows that she's taking some shortcuts. She's very calming in this video, and a bit funnier in the submitted video. But I very much enjoy people who know what they're doing, doing something that they're good at and enjoy.

      It seems easy enough to build a uke in 4 days. All you have to do is print one. :P This is actually something I've vaguely wanted to do for a while, but now my interest is in making an electric...

      This is actually something I've vaguely wanted to do for a while, but now my interest is in making an electric hurdy-gurdy.

      I love her video on heliotropism. I wasn't sure about Tempest at first. She can initially come off like just another rich girl spending Daddy's money on her fun pet projects, but the more I watch the more I realise I was wrong and she really does love what she does and is very good at it. Nobody can help who their parents are, after all.

    This might be a dumb question, but could you detect how much discharge there is coming off of the system using a multimeter? Also I got a little joy seeing a European use a wirenut. Guessing it...

    Also I got a little joy seeing a European use a wirenut. Guessing it came with the kit and the kit is American in origin or something? I remember every electrical discussion on reddit turning into a big debate about wirenuts vs. those little snappy connectors (name escapes me). Just mildly amusing to me for some reason :)

    I'm curious why she left so much slack in the tubing going to the planer.
