    do you tend to burn it to hot ? cause of the colder wheather? and that way the emaile runs? or what ?

  • A.D.EKER

    Jup nasty when it happens,heat does funny things even to stuff that suposed to whitstand it ! we had  a problem whit the stack cones once they started melting at the same temperature as the glaze, it did give some nice surprises thow! Good luck on the next burn !! Greeeeeettsszz A.D.

  • A.D.EKER

    Thanks Dave for them kind words ! Appriciated !! must say i am pleased whit it my self !! still have to make her electric ,but she sounds ferry robust acousticly ! will bee playing her for a while ,to get all the quirck out of her !! for in case she plans to leave me !! Greeeetings A.D.

    Its a Dogfoodbowl dave ! the cover is a drain roster that i did some work on its all rust free so if you work it gently it staye's nice ,i flatten the rim, and cut away two halfs from the bottom, trim down the ears ,on the size of the dogbowl made the holes ,and insurted a threadend (copper) bridge, heat it bend in in a u shape and fit to the bottom of the Dogbowl, i like a cover because of playing techniek, i think if you use a open cone, your damping all the time,and looze thye ringing sound of the Cone,if you have a bridge over, you can use damping or not !! thanks for asking and good luck on the project at present !! Greeeeeeeettsszz A.D.

  • Matthew Borczon

    thanks for friending me!! I love your music!!

  • Matthew Borczon

    those are gorgeous Fiddles!!! Really fine work!

  • Matthew Borczon

    the two stringers in the pictures are the ones I mean, just beautiful stuff!!!

  • Matthew Borczon

    by the way, do you sell those 2 stringer? Just thinking I might like one. Let me know if they are or ever in the future become available. Thanks

  • Matthew Borczon

    your drawings and the ceramic plates are wonderful my friend!! I was an art major in college back before I became a nurse

  • Matthew Borczon

    I would be happy to do that. Though my own work is pretty primitive. I build with hand tools only. I will make one soon and if it comes out sounding good I will send it to you. Give me a couple weeks to clear the ukulele I am building now and let me see what I can come up with.

  • Matthew Borczon

    I was referring to the two string fiddles posted in your pictures. One has a green bridge and both look really cool and old timey!!

  • Matthew Borczon

    D is usual for me to play in. I tend to make the notes from a dulcimer on my necks as it makes it easier to play and all my favorite songs I learned first on a dulcimer.

  • Matthew Borczon

    So I am wondering if you would mind if I put frets on the one I build for you? I want to fret it dulcimer style so you can play the drone mote as well. Is that something you are interested in? please let me know.

  • Matthew Borczon

    just letting you know I have not forgotten you my friend. Just ending a long military week end and hoping to start your lap fiddle this coming week end, god willing

  • A.D.EKER

    it seems like the most logical place to put em! you dont agree? see your workspace is getting pretty filled up ! do you ever play mine the one you got from uncle J or did you scrap it up?

  • A.D.EKER

    Hi Dave !well then just trick her!! use a suitcase! all you need is a bassdrum pedal and your of and i dont have a full drum allso started whit the suitcase as well now use a kiddy drum cheap and verry small ,but when you stuff it whit foam and tape a wooden disc to the skin you get a good bass sound, and ones you get a pedal, you can try out everything even the wall of the sauna! just so you know !! greeettsszz A.D.

  • A.D.EKER

    Hey DaveLynas, haven’t seen you much on the CBNation. Hope you’re well and good. I was wondering if I could get permission to use some of your music on an upcoming radio show?
