Hey Tony, you did a great job with the shelf, it has good uniformity and your bottles look really good on it. Makes me want to go out into the shop and buzz up some wood ! Think I will wait till later though, being the temp here is close to zero degrees this evening.

A bass?  You better leave Bass making to the fishs... if you and your friend try your just going to end up with a stroller... lol

I almost went into business building guitars, unfortunately my business partner never sobered up enough to do it.  We had talked about it for years and then when it came time to do it he disappeared on a two week binge...

Hello Tigue, there is a fellow here locally who just opened up shop here in Sardinia making guitars, and a partner that makes guitar cases for them. I stopped in to talk to him a couple of weeks ago while he was getting his shop set up and getting ready to go. Seemed like a nice fellow.  According to him, he has made guitars for players in Nashville, whether or not that is true I can't say. He invited me to stop in and chat when I can, and I am anxious to go up and see him at work. I love guitar, have an old Aims I pick around on. Regretfully, I can pick my nose better than I can the guitar, but I get much enjoyment from playing the guitar. Of course I only play it when no one is around to keep from getting laughed out of town !

As for binges, been there and done that as well ! It has been many years ago since I did that sort of thing though....................

I like your shelf.  My wife bought me a book shelf 6 ft high for my birthday for my bottles and antiques.  I got two open shelves Im gonna have to fill this yr digging, with bottles and pottery.  My wife also got me a yr subscription of a magazine called (American Digger) its a magazine for digging bottles,coins and artifacts.  I cant wait to get it.
