You guys have juvenile "tastes" (if you can call the absence of something just that), and disturbing they are too. Are we now entering MTV Jackass territory?

Nah, you're totally misreading, Uwe. You have to watch the other videos - the "re-forming" of the objects is only part of it. The narration and off-camera reactions are priceless - "froo - it salad". Love the "extra content", too.

Yep - the finnish accent naration and girl giggling in the background are the best part.  Yep, itsa tasty.

Yoko Ono once said that sawing things in half was an art in itself. I'm confident she would also approve of this.

This is most awesome but I have work to get done tonight. Now I'm not sure if I'll get even close to finished!

I have an old 8 ton Dennison hydraulic press in my work area. I haven't used it in years. Now I know what to use it for!!

Yes, Gibson two-point bridges would be a good start!

He's looking for suggestions to crush. Let's put together a CARE package of black hardware... ;D

That said, anybody with that many alu neck Kramers (and his back muscles especially) can only be lauded and worshipped.

Aluman, how we salute and kneel before you!!!

I tried crushing a 3-point with a 10 ton press once.  Once the press made contact it crumbled to pieces.

Shortly thereafter I asked my close friend Chuck Norris to fight the 3-point. He cowered in fear and begged for mercy.

Have you ever seen a photo of the iceberg that sank the titanic? it was shaped exactly like a 3-point.

I don't care what Hipshot or Babicz claim. The 3 point is the pinnacle of bass bridge technology.

I´ve only been here for a few years, but was there ever a 2 point vs. 3 point poll thread? I mean just to find out who is the top dog. Or is it too political to choose sides like that for LBO´ers?

The two point is the Donald Trump of bass bridges, beyond discussion really. The three point, however, is an anointed device and all the proof for intelligent design/creationism you'll ever need. Amen.

Yeah, but 37% of all bass players never said that the two-point would "Make Gibson Great Again".

Do they make Henry J bobbleheads? Those would be candidates for the drill press exercise.

Now that's brilliant idea! It would almost be worth commissioning a special order.
