We need a bigger tub of lard!   

Anyone as enthusiastic as Serge should be a great guitar salesman! Of course you gotta build 'em first.

Expect this thread to generate a few more posts

I'd like to be able to prove, just for once, that money wouldn't make me happy...

Rod, my man,

forgive frenchie's ignorance of what a tub -o- lard means but i'm sure it probably means that i seem to talk more than build.! I gotta admit that since i found this great place, i kind of took the opportunity to make for lost time trying to find info on the net and to laugh and share the little i have with you bunch of great guitar builders. If that meant that i'm full of **it for winning that bid, i'll say yes as i got some complementary wood to build along with it. And if you thought i could take a joke, well you were also plenty right so maybe i do deserve this after all!

So now, before i become a grizzly grizzled lard serging bear too soon, i guess i'll head down to my shop and start buildin'!

Serge

P.s., i'll be checking your number of posts very closely chum!

French, I thought you were Canadian. I'm getting confused. Serge, a tub of lard, is a dubious prize, given only in someone's imagination to another person.

So, it's like getting a stick of gum for a prize, or a mild compliment. Of course Rod won't be here today, so I'll have to help you with the interpretation thing.

Without the newbies asking questions, the rest of us would have nothing to talk about, except getting old and of course, taxes.

So what Bruce is saying is that Rod was acknowledging your immediate dedication to the site and we're glad to have you here. You have very quickly become part of the 'character' of this forum. So thanks!! and keep at it.

Shane

Serge,

The Tub of Lard is a virtual award, and it's a good thing! It's a prize that you can gratefully accept and anxiously await, but at the same time be glad it never arrives!

Aweright gentle folks, i gladly accept this award and will be glad to see who wil get it next time around! Thanks Carlton

Dear Bruce, on top of being Canadian, if you like confusion, i'm also Quebecois of Acadian descent so you can imagine the kind of musical party i'm from

Dear Shane, i'm glad that i can add my touch of humor once in a while and thanks for your encouragements, i also appreciate your views on lutherie

Glad to be accepted among a great bunch of friends

Serge

You are more than accepted. You won the tub of LARD! What greater honor is there? 'Bout time Mayes let go of it.

You also won a nice italian spruce top Serge. I like the way you spend yourself. We don't want to talk about taxes, isn't it?

Thats for first - second and third get the virtual flaming bag-o-pooh. Maybe we can get an emoticon for that !!!

Oh Lord!!!

Serge !
           You are like a "breath of fresh air " around here ! It's great to have you aboard.
Your enthusiasm is to be applauded !
   To tackle guitar building without a lot of previous wood working skills is a tough road to take. Remember, we are all here to help. That's what it's all about.

Regards KiwiCraig ,and keep up with the questions !

Serge

Welcome Serge
   Bruce...how do you come up with this stuff. I am totally impressed. Perhaps you diserve the bucket of lard.   BTW, it is "bucket of lard". That has one extra syllable and so it rolls more trippingly off the tongue. Not that anyone cares, including me, but there it is for the record

John K, it's easy, hit the search engine and browse.

KINNAIRD BAGPIPES











Kinnaird Castle (Brechin, Angus)

Five minutes, and I found out your ancestry is famous, just like you.

Yikes!
   Bruce, that is cool. I have been to most of those places, including the castle. Here is a picture of yours truely at the entrance to the village of Kinnaird. I had this shot taken complete with menacing scowl next to the admonishment to drive safely so that I could give it to my son to hang from the mirror of his car.
See that little rental car? The steering wheel is on the wrong side. That's REAL trouble.

By the way, In Scotland when they mention Bruce, they say THE Bruce. There is a sort of reverence there for that name.

Okay, you may call me, The Bruce!

That is cool you already knew about these places and have been there.....okay, did you know about the Kinnaird Bagpipes?

No..You surprised me with the bagpipes. Now I am beginning to wonder if I am in the right business.
