Official Luthiers Forum!

So I am finally back from my east coast biz trip, and I got to meet the very generous Todd Stock and see his shop. It was a quick meeting but it was definitely a pleasure - and I didn't leave empty handed . I got the mold and side bending form for my first build (an OM), and a side bending form for a future 12 fret. I also came away with some awesome looking curly maple bindings (at my pace it's enough for a lifetime ) some of these will definitely be going on #2 (#1 is already spoken for with cocobolo).

I didn't get any pictures there, but I did get some pictures with another person there in DC... I like to call him "The W".

It's FAKE!
The lighting is all wrong!
Christian's a cardboard cutout!!!

[quote]Christian nice to see you guy and you should submit a bio to Lance to post in the bios section of the OLF.

Good eye Billy! I stood there and pretended to wave while some silly looking cardboard cut-out had it's arm around me...

Truth-be-known, I was too cheap to pay the guy ($6) with the "real" cardboard cutouts, so I just stood there like a nerd and photoshopped the best W pic I could find into it.

See... I'm a dork.


Now where did I put that bikini......

Cool! I always love meeting OLFers.
As commented above, your pic is obviously manipulated. Now I did this for a living for awhile so I know where I'm coming from. It's not the light that is the issue, it's the color. See below..

You can't just go and do something like that!!! If I let out a laugh like that at work again the bosses are going to come after me! Obviously I'm not sitting in my cube snickering at spreadsheets. HA HA HA Very Good one!

Kim- That is too much! That 'lady in red' ain't too bad neither!!!

What do you expect for a 2 min job? Unlike HESH, some people have other things to do besides playing on the computer all day.

Just to add to the pile here and for my dear friend JJ....

Hesh, you may have just become the first "correspondent" to show her as she appears out of the closet!

Billy/Hesh ....you dudes I believe have some serious competition !!

Good thing Woolson is a gentleman!    Christian -- not sure about you yet -- but I believe you fit in well with this crew

Christian -- lucky you, meeting Todd Stock!!

Being a Canadian the only person I recognize in the picture is Christian -- who are the guys? The ladies?

[QUOTE=Pwoolson] [/QUOTE]

And the gentleman wins a cigar   

Cheers

Kim

#1 some guy named Bush
#2 the next president of the US Barak Obama
#3 I can't even venture a guess at those ladies/fellas
#4 Hillary Clinton (Bill's main squeeze)
#5 Adolf Heshler
#6 Monica Lewinsky (Bill's other main squeeze)
More to come I'm sure.
