At 1:06pm on May 31, 2014, Dave Lynas said…: The roughness may be a little cooler position in the kiln. I could refire it hotter, but i'll just try and make one that's more to your liking. I'm on it Blue boy....... Dave .... making them thinner is a little tougher, but i'll try.

At 11:20am on May 31, 2014, Dave Lynas said…: Hey Blue, is it the length that's big? thickness? Bore? I can work things in any direction. I've got several lengths, bore sizes and thickness and can make them slightly cone shalped, strait up and down, slightly bowed, radiused, shorter. I also wind up with somewhat "organic" shaped ones with twists in the cylinder. Since they're thrown on the wheel, they all come out a little different.

At 7:30am on May 19, 2014, Dave Lynas said…: Hey Blue, got the moolah.... Thanks much and happy sliding....

At 1:39pm on May 12, 2014, Dave Lynas said…: May we both live long tuneful lives Albert. You Blue Devil.....

At 11:30am on May 12, 2014, Dave Lynas said…: Thanks Blue, aka Albert. I'm glad you like it and yes i'm making open ended ones too. My first open enders don't have a big enough hole in the foot to get your finger through, but recent ones are more open. The closed ones are for sipping a beverage as well as sliding. I put them on my finger or hold them like a tone bar in either direction. I've been busy making a larger batch for the next firing in a couple of weeks. Anytime you want one just ask Albert. You are my first customer. That's big with me.... Dave

At 11:09am on May 8, 2014, Dave Lynas said…: Hi Albert, I'll email your wife's mail. I'm ready to ship your slide tomorrow. ... Dave

At 11:24pm on May 7, 2014, Dave Lynas said…: Hi Albert, I'll send you a blue slide and when you get it my return address will be on the package. Send a check or MO for 7$. Or use pay pal if you wish to lynaslines@yahoo.com

At 11:16pm on May 7, 2014, Dave Lynas said…: Hi Albert, you can have a blue one. I can't seem to message though i can receive them. So i'm answering on your wall.

At 11:35am on May 7, 2014, Dave Lynas said…: Hey Albert, good to be friends. .... Dave

At 7:02am on May 12, 2013, Uncle John said…: Hey, Albert. You have a dandy blues name and I like Lilly, Mary and Rose. Nice gits. I clicked on your photo and really was surprised at how much you look like my son, Jeff, a West Des Moines fire fighter. Glad to have you for a nation friend.

At 5:22am on May 12, 2013, Downtown Vinnie said…: Hey thanx, Albert glad havin ya as a compadre.....hope ya get back to playin some guitar....ayyyy.

At 12:59am on May 9, 2013, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Well, enjoy the fun. This is a great place and a great bunch of folks. Please feel free to write if I can be of assistance. I only built one CBG myself. So, although I may not be the best person to ask building questions to, I can offer various insights into how to play these little Devils. Thank you for your reply.

At 10:36am on May 7, 2013, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Thank you Albert for your friendship. Enjoy, Keni Lee
