Hey Tony, thanks for the friend request. I'll be happy to be your friend. I like your work and love this site. I've learned a lot from you folks. Your projector case bass is tops. .. Dave
Hey Tony, I looked up your lap steel. It's a beautiful piece of work. I love the angular laminates. Looks hot. Of course you've got one big sound works with the Marshall and column speaker. You could make nothing but a broom stick speak with that rig... Thanks ... Dave
Great songs done well on your CD/ nation songs on your page. I especially like Lay Down Your Gods (new to me) and good old and jazzed up, This Little Light Of Mine.
Oh forgot to mention they are only $12.50 +S&H.. One of the cheapest tools you can buy and a great investment ( Just don't leave it out in the rain like I did ,because they aren't water proof ... : ) Had to get me another one ..
Hey Tony thanks for the frind request .. To find the fret chart go to www.harpkit.com just put fret chart in the search... Hope this helps ... Get one , you'll use it a LOT .. Use mine on every build ...
Thanks also for the comments on my builds glad you like them - in responce to your question about been a machinist - no i'm not trained as one just learnt myself as i go along but i'm a trained joiner which helps a lot wood and metal working are pretty much the same thing it's all cut , measure and shape
I must have started on cbgs 4-5 years ago with some fretless builds that I did not much know what to do with. Found the nation last summer and kind of went crazy since.
