Bluesheart, the lack of a chapter on you and featuring photos of Aja, the Undertaker, Splinter Pig and other examples of your skill and design aesthetic makes David Sutton's book, "Cigar Box Guitars" incomplete.
Hi Bluesheart! Thanks for wishing me welcome to The Nation. I've finished two more gits since then, and I'm keeping on keeping on. I've tried to comment to your builds, but have failed to load it up or something. I'll try again.
Ha!!! You should have made up some big story about how you learned that heel detail from a CBG building Tibetan monk during you travels east while trying to find yourself. Who knows, I may have bought it ;)
Thanks for the friend request thing. I'm flattered and happy to oblige!
Hey Bluesheart. Thanks for your comments about too many photos/videos per day. I like seeing all the great stuff people are making, but too much is too much. I don't look as much at the multitude of daily additions. Now i troll through the photos and open only ones that turn my crank. I'm amazed at the sheer volume of new photos every day. It get boring to try and see them all. Less would be more in this case. I love this site and hate to see it made into a race for numbers of views of the same project. Fewer with more information written about each one. Many photos are not identified at all. I'd use the messages are for my comment, but it's not working for me lately. I have to go right to your page to leave a message. Don't know what the problem is there... Thanks again for taking time to speak to this issue. ... Dave
Thanks for the compliment. Yeah I threw some frets in there, I figured all the work I put into it would be a waist if I didn't. Been wanting to check out your pics for a while now, I'm sure you have a lot of new ones in there. Thanks again.
Very glad to accept your Friend request. Once I get to a decent computer, I plan to look and listen more closely to your vids they take forever to load on an iPad). One way to improve that that I do is to upload to YouTube, then paste the YT link to CBN.
