I had a little 8 foot pram as a kid. My dad and i built it from a kit. I sailed the Lake Minnetoka. My folks let me go from morning till dark. I had a 3.6 horsepower Scott Attwater outboard motor. I loved that little boat.
"Thanks for your interest Andries" The "Tremolo Spring Box" build was finished just before Xmas, but I wasn't happy with a few things, so there's been a few changes and experiments done since, will post very soon, and explain further details on what was going on, and my thoughts about it.
Hi Andries, I've only just seen this photo of the terrier! I love terriers, and mine is an old boy now, he's 13. His name is Alfred, and I love him very much, although he can be a bit grumpy these days! Many thanks, Matt.
Thanks AD, very happy with the way the 'Tree Cone' turned out, in both looks and sound, while the sound is nothing like the National type 3 Cone we all know and love, this one like all of our home done builds does have its own voice, I'm nearly to the point where I'm confident enough to post a vid to demonstrate how some my builds sound.

Elvis in your good video. He used to say, "T.C. B'" which meant 'Taking Care of Business.'
