    I'll see your David Shire and Walter Murphy, and raise you this:

          @Axtremus that poor mule...

          Farriers work really hard. It's very physical work. Besides the general "cleanup" that this guy did, the video should have shown how the shoe is actually fitted to the hoof. That work involves heating the shoe in a furnace until it's red hot, and hammering it into shape on an anvil.

              @Axtremus this is just wonderful stuff. I never had the patience, or the correct tools to do this.

              Japanese joinery is a wonder to behold.

              (slight aside)

              After moving into the condo, I decided I needed to purchase a saw. I decided on a cheapo Japanese pull-type saw. It was inexpensive and very effective. Since it cuts on the pull stroke, the blade is thinner. That means you remove less wood with each stroke. That means it's easier and more accurate.

              The Japanese approach to sharpening cutting tools (planes and chisels) is also very different. In my opinion, better, too.

                  The original was composed as a violin concerto.

                  Just stumbled upon an arrangement for two erhus and a piano:

                        @Axtremus I did a double take when I listened the first time. Then I did another, and another, until I finally understood.

                                          My undergraduate teacher for theoretical computer science was Arnold Schönhage. And of course he taught us the Schönhage Strassen multiplication algorithm, which is way faster than Kamasutra's.

                                          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schönhage–Strassen_algorithm?wprov=sfla1

                                          I remember being a little overwhelmed by the math around the FFT.
