I’m more of a hack player but still try and I love to build things, Custom motorcycles, bicycles, etc. was a machinist in my past life. Currently learning to play the ukulele. Heard about CBGs from my son and started researching into them and fell in love with the ideal of making my own. Just purchased some equipment to make my first. Have been through all CB Gitty info center watched tons of videos from Shane Speal and Dale Puckett on how to build. This just feeds into my artistic and mechanical mind. I just moved from NM to AZ and I’m working my tail off in the garage in 115+ weather to get ready for building CBGs.

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( mrsstellakhalil5888@gmail.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless
Stella.
