Music in the shop

I listen to country with a basketball game mixed in when there on.

-- Dustmaker, Kansas

I have a real mix of rock to classical but bluegrass and old time music seem to ‘fit’ when I’m there.

classical…and the Red Sox!

-- Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

I also grew up listening classic rock, but at some point of life I got tired of that. When I had my garage (lost my job,so I am now in an small apartment) I tuned the radio station of a close District College, Oldies from 30’s and 40’s and big bands, it was great working with that classic music, specially when working with planes and hand tools

I put the ipod on shuffle and listen (4 days worth) to alot of Christian Rock, country, and what is called classic rock that from the 70’s-80’s.

The sound of silence. The only music I need to hear is the sound of wood being cut.

-- Gary - Never pass up the opportunity to make a mistake look like you planned it that way - Tyler, TX

I listen to Pandora internet radio, some of the stations I have are Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds, Junior Brown, Jimmy buffet, John Prine, Lyle Lovett, Coco Montoya, Elvin Bishop, Jorma Kaukonen, Railroad Earth to name a few. When I’m feeling particularly hillbilly I tune into Hay98, if I’m lucky they will doing swap shop-it’s a hoot!

-- Good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from poor judgement.

I listen to classic rock and some new rock

-- www.carvingandturningsbyrick.com, Rick Kruse, Grand Rapids, MI

The rock radio station, Kings of Leon, Coldplay, The Killers, Face to Face, Sublime and sometimes to mix it up I’ll play a little Frank (Sinatra).

-- Alan, Prince George

no music…talk radio.

-- Dan, Sterling Alaska, Before you criticise some one, walk a mile in their shoes...then you will be a mile away and you have their shoes!

I’m with Gary. When I’m getting into designing, laying out, and cutting I listen to my inter thoughts and they don’t need any competition at that point. Maybe I’m to easily distracted but then again, I’ve still got all my fingers and my scrap bin doesn’t overflow.

-- Tom Landon, Lakeland, Fl. When you're through learning, you're through.

jazz

-- WOOD/DON (...one has the right to ones opinion but not the right to ones own facts...)

Country, Talk and 50’s and 60’s oldies.

-- Ron Central, CA

I’m one of the queit ones. This way I ‘m startled by family when they come in to see what I’m up to.
Theres nothing worse when using the band saw, table saw, router, chisels, etc…...

-- If at first you don't succeed...Don't try skydiving

Depends on what I’m doing. Sometimes, silence, and sometimes, some hard driving rock and roll. Nothing too drastic, but nothing too lame either. I don’t mind the occasional baseball game here or there either, except when I don’t want to be distracted and get involved in who’s on first or what’s on second…

I can go from listening to John Denver to Journey, The Eagles to Dream Theater, The Baby’s to Ozzy Osbourne. As long as it keeps me in the right frame of mind to get the job(s) done.

I listen to a lot of different styles, though there are those (some mentioned here) that I definitely don’t care for at all.
