Hesh,

Beautiful wood. One of your photos shows some curl that I didn't notice before. That is gonna make one impressive uke!!!

BTW, next time you might want to try the old "spare key in the wallet" trick!

Andy, I did the same thing, just scrolled the pics and thought, oh no, Hesh and Lacey got broken into. I hope all his stuff is still there.

Than I thought I should go back and read what Hesh wrote.

Nice wood, nice kick Hesh.

That is gorgeous zoot Hesh, for sure... If that doesn't motivate you out of your building funk, nothing will!!!

   Do you have any ideas as to what kind of gitter you want to build with that mint zootage?

[QUOTE=Homebreaker Hesh]Once my pictures were taken to my complete dismay I discovered that I had locked myself out of the condo. [/QUOTE]

    I used to do that all the time! My therapist thinks it's because I don't really want somebody like me in my own house!

    Maybe insurance can cover it? With the price of locksmiths maybe it was cheaper to go the way you did!

Great looking wood! Truly outstanding! When do you start?

Well Hesh, on the wood, good score!
Can`t say as much for the door. I used to fix those things on about every rental unit I worked on. It`s not as bad as you think once you get into it.
That avatar makes me wonder if I really did cook a brain cell or two in a younger day!
