Official Luthiers Forum!

Well we've been having some problems with the server we were using. Seems the company we are using had an Air Conditioning failure and shut down some of the computers to keep them from Overheating !! We lost a lot of information when they booted back up. We had some of it Backed up but, had been a while since we updated. So, I decided to start from scratch again. It's taken a while and I just wanted to let you know we are back up. Check it out when you get a chance and we have lots of new sets listed in the Back / Sides link.

Ah ...........my Chritmas wish webpage.
Nice stuff. Mabye I can win the raffle, thats all I can afford.
Cheers
Charlie

Charlie...that's exactly why I'm doing this. I really wanted to make a nice suprise for someone who probably normally wouldn't be able to afford a set like this. I think most everyone can afford $5 for a chance to win it. And I'll probably actually lose money on it but, a lot of the guys on the OLF have helped us have a successful first year so, I wanted to do something a little off the wall to show our gratitude for their support. I wish everyone luck and I've only had a few entries thus far so, looks like the odds of winning are pretty good. Take a chance...YOU NEVER KNOW !

Really some beautiful stuff

Thanks Steven..I have lots more sets coming just need to take the photos and upload them. Should be done in the next few days.

Jeff, nice site! Do you have any pau ferro that looks like the parlor set on your site, but is big enough for an OM or dred shape?

Also, did you lose your mailing list info? Do we need to re-register to continue to receive your newsletter?

Dave...I was fortunate to have backed up my mailing list in an Excell file. But, I'm not sure if I can load that into the database on this site yet. If you want to re-register it would probably save me some time but, I'm going to try and load the file into the database on the new site. Time will tell on that one but, I do still have everyones info on my personal computer. Thanks for asking...
I have two parlor sets on the site now. The darker one..man that was definitely a one off. The lighter colored one...I think I have a block of that but, it still needs to be cut.Brazilwood38811.6756481482

Darn, I was referring to the darker one. Man that is a pretty set! Maybe I need to start considering another parlor.....

I've never had or built a parlor guitar but, lately I've really been considering it just to have as a writers guitar laying around and it would be convenient for traveling...which I do a lot of lately. Only problem I don't have any molds or jigs set up for it. It would be a lot of work but, I think I'd really like to have one. Sure would beat a Martin "Backpacker"

Hesh... I PM'd you.

I tried to enter your raffle, but it wants to charge me an extra $19 for shipping. I'll pay that if I win, but I'd rather pay it after winning.

Graham...ooopps. I'll get that corrected. I hadn't tried to enter so wasn't aware of that flaw. By the way...I pay the shipping too. Can't beat that with a stick.

O.K...that shipping problem on entering the BRW RAFFLE is corrected. By the way, you can buy as many chances as you want. Just change the quantity number. Graham..thanks for letting me know about that.

Beautiful website and gorgeous wooooooooood! MMMMMMM MMMMM

Thanks Serge...we do ship to Canada.

No problem Jeff. I'll go enter now.

Hmmmmm... Jeff I still seem to be having the same problem.

[QUOTE=Graham Steward] Hmmmmm... Jeff I still seem to be having the
same problem. [/QUOTE]

It's fixed! I just entered.

Graham...your computer is probabling showing you a cached copy of the site page. When you go to the site again...hit your refresh button. That should load it up "Refreshed". Then try again.

Ok that worked!

When is the draw going to be?

Thanks Jeff.

Never mind. I just looked at the details. May 1, 2006.

Thanks, Jeff. I just entered, too. Guys, you can't enter more than once unless your a card carrying AARP member .
