don't get any on ya have a good weekend in the dust

Have a great week end Lance!

Let me join Lance in wishing everyone a great weekend.

I'll be in the shop setting up my new dust collector and taking care of some other preparations so I can actually build a guitar. As the saying goes, "No matter what you want to do, you have to do something else first." But soon, now, soon ...

I've not heard that saying before. It is SO true! Just finishing building out a room in my house. Now I need to clear the shop of sheetrock miscellany before getting going to the guitar... It's always something.

Have a great weekend everyone. BEER O'CLOCK!

Yep, just got done with some mechanic work. One transmission swap, and a fuel pump & tank replacement. Now I have my shop back! For awhile, anyway.
Have a good`un guys!

I slapped a set of pads on the front of my F150 Thursday morning. 45 minutes, standard jack with the long handle, a 1/2" Craftsman open end, a four-way, and a box of pads. Beautiful morning too. Kind of enjoyed it.

Have a great weekend everyone.

It's working nights for me... but I might get the chance to finally finish the binding on my very first... The back binding is all done, the top purfling is done, and those bindings are even bent and waiting for the glue.... Close, and yet, so far...

For me, I am putting the wheels back on the resaw, I just had rubber tires made and installed on them, then I plan to start cutting a bunch very nice Lutz Tops. I was up in the mountains today at a logging block....the birds were a'singing away, Spring is in the air.

Peace everyone!

Hey Bruce, I didn't know they sold Fords in Antarctica. I thought you could only get a Holden. Talk about down under! Boy, you move around a lot!

Happy Friday from San Anselmo, USA

I on the other hand am getting the heck out of the shop for the weekend. We got some snow here on cape cod and I will be x-c skiing. I can really use the excersise right now after so much time behind the bench.

Lance: glad to hear the 12 fretter is coming along.

Matt

Have fun Matt!
Mark, its not an electric I built, just doing a repair

I going to try and finish two necks today, then I'm gonna jam some over the weekend, too. But I'll be playing the banjo. (maybe playing with my banjo is more descriptive, I'm not very good).
