Hi Andries! You are welcome. Yes, we had high winds as remnants from the hurricane in Texas that made it to Ohio on Monday night and we lost power but it got restored Tuesday night. So not too bad. Only Yesterday was played with a 4 string Cohiba. Thanks or listening and for the kind remarks!
thx voor het schema ! ik had nog wat humbuckers en daar kwam met 250k potten niet het beste geluid uit , omgewisseld met 500k en werkt goed !
We do like the personal stories about our music and musicians, true for me too Andries, you are welcome. I use my scroll saw for lots of basic cuts but do plan on trying some F holes with a spirol blade? Have only had it a couple years and am a slow adopter LOL Cheers!
Hi Andries,
thx for your welcome !I think that I need your help on some potmeters 500k or 250k on some 3 switches I want to use what will be best
Thank you for sharing those lyrics Andries!
Thanks
Andries, You got it! A simple crank and upright rod is what you need. making complicated workings does exactly that- makes things complicated! The carving looks great. Nothing beats a hand carved piece of wood. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Andries,slight change from the minion ?
That's true about the hunt Andries! Gathering and preparing for the build is as much the fun as getting it done. Cheers!
