Thanks so much for the friend request. Where bouts in Ontario are you? Aside from South West Ontario, there is not too much of it I have not seen at one time or another.
Hi, thanks for the friend add. I'm not sure what you want to know about the looping set up? Do you mean my whole pedal board or just the loop pedal?...I change things around quite a bit too, but could send you a pic of how it is at the moment?? Happy New Year to you : -)
Reeds, how are things going! I have the Flu right now. Your Upright Washtub Bass is really cool. I did not know what it was you were building until i saw your video. did ya get a new machine head for it yet?

Reeds I'm trying to reply to your email buddy, but for some reason it keeps telling me I cant post mail ... not sure if it's the site or my PC here. Send me you email address please and I'll try on that.
Stewy, I popped into chat did not see you there...At the moment I have to get a few minutes of sleep...I will see you on Skype or back here then in priv.chat. have to read a few messages also, when I can see straight again... did not get any sleep last night or today. will see you in a few hours, Bro.
Appreciate you taking the time to wish me well! Thanks you! You have so much amazing stuff here for me to go through - it's brilliant and really inspiring...
I'll post a couple of pictures of my first build when its finished in a few days time...
Hey Reeds, Thanks for adding me as a friend. Glad to know there's another woodcarver & a cane carver too visited your site nice canes. I'm a cane/walking stick carver too. Here's a link to my site: http://www.papassticks.blogspot.com
Hey Reeds thanks for the comments on my walking sticks. I sell @ local farmer's market & craft shows. My wife thinks I should add canjos & CBG to my booth.
Thanks, Might give it a try with a couple of Canjos. I have a farmers market 8/31 & a wine fest in Sept. Here's pic of a Canjo I made with a Hillbilly head. I figure if I can't play the I can make them.
Thank you for your kind comment... just now, i discovered your nice personnal page and had a look at your very interting 88 photos, ican't understand how i missed them... many nice toys...°<[:-) [---]==={...
Hey Reeds, don't worry about ?s. That's what this site is all about. I've not changed out a full size archtop "set" neck. I've read a lot about it and wish i could gain that skill. Having a little steamer is a good thing and a hot artist's spatula will soften the hide glue the joint its glued with. Getting the steam down in the joint is tricky. You figure out exactly where the neck block and neck heal fit together and drill a little hole in the fretboard to insert the steamer wand into the hole down to the joint. While doing that, you work around the joint of the fretboard on the guitar top with the hot spatula. You can heat the spatula with a hot gun or flame. I also have a "quilting iron" to work on heating the fretboard. Use the spatula around the edges of the neck join and try to wiggle the neck to get it loose. Once off the guitar you just clean up the joint and slide the right neck replacement in and make shims to re set the neck at the best angle to work. Ebay often offers necks for the replacement. Best to use hide glue for the job. Stu mack may have a video of the job or you tube may have one. First, i'd just try wiggling the old neck. It may be loose already if you are very lucky... Good luck.... Dave
Hi Reeds thanks for the welcome message. I feel very at home here already. Joined a few groups. Working on my second CBG and planning future designs as well. And Happy New Year!
Reeds I can use your help. I tried the steel wool in the vinegar trick (used regular table vinegar), in a closed jar, and after a few months I had - steel wool in vinegar, just what I started with. Any idea what I may have been doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks Reeds, I am enjoying being a hobby builder, still pretty new at this so no sales attempted. My Facebook page is under my Primitive Acoustics name if you want to list it, for the NW Fest, here it is. Thanks Tom T
