Well, my turn to be spoiled again!

Rod has sent me his wonderful rosette cutter jig with micro-adjustment and i'll tell ya, even if i have built many many jigs, this one beats them all up in terms of precision!

Thanks Rod, truly appreciated bro!

Here's my new baby





Had a couple of hours break tonight since i'm on duty at work all week end long so i could not resist the envy to try it out. All i had to do was to make the holes for the router screws and made my first practice cut with it! WOOOOO HOOOOO HOOOOO! WOW! Nice cut right away!





Here's the cut!



It now has a very special spot over my bench!



Thanks again Rod, i really love it bro!

Cool, your very welcome Serge, it sure was fun making another as a gift for you. I thought you could use it too and I had material left over from making mine.

It sure was good to put a voice to that face up there.

Serge and I spent an hour on the phone this evening, just talking about life and of course guitars. It was great. Thanks again for the phone call Buddy.

I really glad you like your circle cutter and I hope you get lots of use out of it.....and Alain too

Alain, i'll lend it to you but you bring it back aweright?

Rod, yes, it was a very pleasant call for me as well , it was great hearing your voice and talking about a lot of different things with you, i now feel that our bond is stronger bro. I just hope we can meet at some gathering next year and shake that True paw of yours and play your awesome guitars, thanks also for being patient with my strong French accent dude!

Thanks Anthony, i thought i'd post that mug to give a smile on ya'all faces!

Billy! How dare ya laugh at my mug when we never saw yours, as far as i know, you could look like anything we've never seen, namely a Beer drinking Alien!
