"Brian, if they don't go - maybe it means God wants you to keep and eventually finish them. Most folks here like to do their own from start to finish."

Luckily I have a patient wife that puts up with my hobbys. The other issue is space. Really cramped for space, but I've carved out a decent little space. If you have projects you want to get rid of, perhaps we can trade things of sorts?

At 12:59pm on October 22, 2016, John Matrishon said…: Hi Brain, Western Mass I see. Saw some of your builds, pretty nice! Just looking for other folks in the area into this addictive musical fun. Are you still building?

At 10:00am on February 25, 2011, Liam Stirling said…: Cheers to you and your son! A good win in a tough contest and on his first build non-the-less. Congratulations to you both.
