a rhythmic yell might be the appropriate response to most Zoltar inquiries perhaps even Billy… that would make 'Z' a time machine too. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AXtHPCWl6fw or maybe this for added razzle-dazzle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTtoN191-Wo
This takes me back to 1977 - I was painting cars for a living and wondering where that would go when a fellow I met at a nearby business drove up with a stack of primer painted coin slot mechanisms his client wanted painted royal blue to be installed on fortune telling machines. I did it and even left the chrome rivets chrome.
His client asked me to come in and ended up hiring me to run their carpentry shop, building exhibits and stage sets. They folded less than a year later, my wife sits at the previous owner's desk which I bought at their auction in 78/9, and I am about to retire from a career in doing commercial woodwork.
I also speak fairly regularly to that guy who brought me those coins slot mechanisms. He's been helping me source walnut slabs for a very fancy bar we are building in Austin.
would think pecan slabs might be more appropriate for Austin… https://canadianwoodworking.com/woods/pecan/
