LYRICS: | |
I had this piece of wood, a fire log actually, | |
you know, the kind you use for fuel for the fire place. | |
It had been sitting in my pile and was nice and dry. | |
Good for inserting into the fire place. | |
It will help keep you warm at night. | |
Well, I took this piece of firewood and put it on my workbench. | |
The log was too long so I chopped off the end. | |
After I chopped it, the end fell onto the floor | |
and I had a shorter piece of wood. | |
I could make something with my firewood. | |
The piece of wood was placed in my bench vice. | |
I made sure the jaws secured the log and would not cause any harm. | |
A chisel and various tools was used to gouge a cavity into the | |
side of the log. | |
I took my time and was careful. | |
A piezoelectric sensor was inserted into the cavity of the log. | |
The sensor was submerged in black thermoplastic adhesive, | |
which I had poured into the cavity of the piece of wood. | |
The log was set aside while I removed the thermoplastic | |
that adhered to my workbench. | |
After the adhesive had hardened, the wires of the sensor were | |
soldered on to a quarter-inch audio jack that would allow for the | |
sensor to be attached to an amplifier via quarter-inch instrument | |
cable. | |
With the log on the ground and jacked into the amp, | |
it can be struck with your foot and provide some basic percussion. | |
