CaptNick commented on Penny Nelson's group How have CBG's changed your life??"I have never played an instrument and now that I have built a few and given them away to family and friends I am going to attempt to teach myself to play. I really enjoy the sound of this music and plan on playing myself soon."

A Sobering thought on safety & lessons learnt
Posted on February 11, 2013 at 6:35am 6 Comments 1 Like
Just had an incident happen in my life that really drove home the safety issues when working with any power tools.
A friend of mine died last week from a chainsaw accident.
Sadly it was not necessarily a fatal injury but because he was on his property by himself he bled out leaving two gorgeous angels 18 month and 4 years behind him.
What is it that I can take away from this tragedy to give it some…

These are some great sites that I have stumbled across that I dont want to lose. Hopefully others might find them useful. These are not specific CBG sites but rather amature luthier and Uke sites that I felt I could learn from and apply the information.
This woman is a school teacher who builds guitars during her summer holidays. Awesome site with a tour of her workshop, links to luthier supply shops & Jig ideas I spent about an hour on this site and there is so much to go…

Explosion is the right term. When they let go it's as loud as they get! Wild! You're always apprehensive when first tuning a new build. I often break strings birthing new instruments, but when the bridge blows it's special terror...

Hey Penny, nice music videos. That fluffy tin really rocks. I still lack the gear to make videos. Maybe soon for me. I've got one of my own tunes posted now. It's off my new release "Holy Smokes". Say, did that bridge let loose while you were pickin. I've had that happen twice now. Even with the soundboard sanded to raw wood. Crap happens. .. Dave

Glenn Reither said… Honestly, I despair at people's lack of adventure when it comes to food. It was a GREAT meal. I pulled up better than everyone else, despite being the last man standing, so that should tell you something about my liver.
