Travis Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 I'll either listen to NPR or an audio book. I just get some audio books from the Library. In fact, many libraries also offer free downloadable audiobooks. Basically, you go to their website and "check out" and download the audiobook for 2 weeks. Then the file automatically "returns" the book (self deleting file) to the library so the next person can check it out. Lots of fun. Quote
ArkieOkie Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Classic Rock and Country, Big Band, Sinatra_one of my Favs along with folk music. If I had to pick one it would be folk music, the history of our country put to music. Quote
WigWag Workshop Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 I also listen to Classic rock, 60's, 70's , heavy metal, but also some blue grass and classic country. Steven Quote
tbphotos Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 I have a stereo in my shop with a CD of mp3 music, which plays almost 6 hours of my favorite tunes from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Also some of the good old country music by Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, George Strait, etc. When I'm working in the shop with the garage door open and neighbors go walking by, they go 'two-stepping' by in tune to the music thats playing. I'm fortunate to have great neighbors in our complex of 64 families, and many of them stop in to visit and see what I'm working on. Quote
andy chew Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Old rock or the History channel on in the background or the NASCAR race Quote
WolfmoonCT Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 When cutting my first project I was mainly listening to Hollywood Undead, Skillet, and a live recording of The Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem. Oh, and I did put a little Native American flute music from Douglas Spotted Eagle at the beginning of the second project. Quote
Radh1 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 I listen to just about everything from talk radio to whatever station I find on I-heart radio that suits the way I feel at the time.I have a full surround sound system in my little shed and hook my iphone up to it..I will also put a race on or sports on a little 13" T.V.Gotta make it enjoyable or I wont "work" as much..lol Quote
Lucky2 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 I like to listen to the noise or tune of the saw, I was taught to always listen to the piece of machinery your using. By doing this you always know if there is something happening to the saw or if it's working properly. And as far as I'm concerned, it's just another distraction that's not needed around running machinery. But this only my personel opinion, and I think that whatever makes a person more comfortable around the shop, is what they should do in the long run. Because afterall it should be as enjoyable and stress releving as possible,and I do like to listen to the machinery operate, really. Weird huh? Len Quote
longrifle Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 I listen to selections from my second love after scrolling...old time radio shows Quote
Travis Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 I listen to selections from my second love after scrolling...old time radio shows I downloaded an app of old time radio after reading this. I've been really enjoying listening to the old detective and scifi shows. What a great thing to listen to while working in the shop! Quote
Dan Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 Hey Travis, What app did you download? I listen to them on public radio but only for an hour each night. They seem to play the same ones every year and I'm looking for some new (old) shows. I did find this site http://www.archive.org/details/oldtimeradio and they seem to have lots of show as well as some classic audio books. Dan Quote
Travis Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 I downloaded 2 iPhone apps: Radio Spirits(http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/radio-sp ... 11220?mt=8) which is a public radio show that plays old shows. Vintage Radio Lite (99 cents) (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vintage- ... 17232?mt=8) that has a bunch of programs broken down by Genre and series title. Between the two, I'll have lots to listen to. Been enjoying the Sci-Fi shows especially, but listening to detective and horror as well. Quote
longrifle Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 I order mine from this site...http://www.otrcat.com/index.php the cost is 5 bucks for a c d with up to 100 shows on each c d...if you have a computer you can listen to while you're sawing you might like this one as well..http://www.myoldradio.com/index.php..I have always loved old time radio and when the internet came along i was astounded to discover that there are thousands of them that still exist and can be heard for free...I'm glad you guys are enjoying them also..happy sawin rick Quote
