    I like your builds!

    Hi, Slim.   Thanks for the nation friending.  I have admired your builds, photos and grandkids- and your name.  I should have asked you for the friending.

    Just finishing and 'tweaking' two simple builds that would suit your moniker.   Two 3 strings with slim - just barely over an inch (2.54cm).   They are wide enough for me and feel nice in the hand.

    Hi Slim 

    Thanks for the invite and the positive comment. Clawhammer banjo is my usual thing so now I have put this contraption together I have to find how  to get some blues out of it.

    I browsed you photos and it looks like you have been making interesting stuff for a while. Nice work Slim. 

    Im wit Beard, Cumbria.

    Hi Slim,

    So you are originally a Bromsgrove man. I was born in Oldbury Worc's and lived in Dudley until I was about 22. Done all kinds of work from Mountain Guide / Instructor to a small craft business here in Cumbria. I worked as a conductor on the old backenders in Jarrow in the 70's Pickled onions on the top deck, a huge jar passed arround and emptied in no time . Those were the days Slim. Cheers chum.

    Im wit Beard.

    Hi Slim

    Thanks for the friend invite. Having to do a bit of paying work today on a boat! Got 2 CBg's to finish & a pile of bits arrived this morning. Also got a Hacker transistor radio to fix & get running as an amp. Happy days!

    Cheers Keith
