Re: My "Back Yard" build

Hi Grant, I do dearly love the "Black Spruce" Soundboard of your build. That grain is really distinctive and straight as an arrow. The Northern states sure have a lot of nice trees growing locally. I am glad to see folks building using local woods. Maybe they can become a new tradition as ...

Re: Curly Maple #1

Dobro Dan Zdenko, I like your build! 8-) I am impressed with your Circle Cutting Jig made of Corian. Looks like something I might like to make for my trim router.

Also, hide Glue and Shellac and lots of neat tools and stuff. Maybe we can go together one day when they are open. Some of t...

Sorry about your Drum Sander. Hope you got both the Top and the Sander fixed! Sometimes, things just don't seem to want to go right. Build is looking good. :D :D

Regards,

Bill from down the hill.

Re: Ron Steiger

Heeeeyyyy Ronnn! Welcome aboard, neighbor. I am sure glad you were able to make it over here! I like your latest Harp! Hope you got a chance to view my 10 string posts. Here is a close up of a head plate I am working on of Zebra wood with Herringbone and a Meander strip down the center. I still have...
