Do you guys have any ugly wood over there?

Serge, please do.

We have a friend that was diagnosed as a Type I diabetic when he was in his early 20's. Over the years he started working for Microsoft with erratic hours, spendings huge chunks of time at the computer crunching code. He was hitting diet sodas hard as well as using the pink stuff in his coffee, whic...

Thanks Bob. It was great to put a voice with the face.

Tasty Rod. I can't wait to see it.

Rod, what is in your outback kit there, other than beautiful timbers.

Beautiful. How does she sound?

Oh, just in case it didn't come through, I was serious about the book. I own or have repeatedly read all but the two that just came out and I have not seen one that is as clear and concise as your tutorials. Your photos are fantastic as well. I guess I could just start gathering and editing all of y...

Its stunning now. I can't wait to see it under a finish.

I understand where you are coming from Hesh. I really do. But I still think that you could give the more established guys a run for their customer base if you were to ever venture into this full time, heck, even part time.

So, when is your book do out? You should only have a couple of sections left to write. Can I place an advance order?

Geez Hesh, when are you going to quit you day job and start selling those beautiful guitars you keep cranking out?

Wow.

Rod, thank you for the tutorial. It is well thought out and pretty spiffy. It's going on the list of things to get done right below the thickness sander.

Thank you for taking the time.

The only consoling fact is that I know you will turn it into a beautiful guitar.

What Paul said.





Jealousy is an ugly emotion.

Rod, do you think it was worth the time and effort you put into it?

It looks really cool and like it would save you a lot of headache and heartache, but.... looks can be deceiving.

Hesh, it looks beautiful. I really like it. I'm looking forward to hearing it sing.


How do you like using the bunny ears? I've been thinking about getting one for the bench but wasn't sure it was worth investing in.

Sorry Rod. Wish I could help, but....

I saw a vee of geese heading south a week before September was to arrive. That doesn't give me a warm fuzzy. Need to get a load of wood.

That's some awesome tiger. You should be rather happy with your trip.

My two favorites.

Ron, I'd trade for you weather any day now. We had such a poor summer, that I think most people missed it. It's been raining here straight for 4 days, just let up this afternoon, it dumped 77.2mm (3") of water on us just yesterday alone. High was 10*C (that's 50*F) . Come on over, the water is fine...

Ohhh. That was bad. Reaaaal bad. Sweetie says I can hit you, it was soo bad.




Keep'em coming.

Sam, did you not get to see the pictures of Serge all decked out for working in his shop? Billy had a field day with them.

How come I can't see it or Bob's post?
