Re: American Election Race

I'm getting a handle on you-all now. 5 minutes' googling got me a lot of answers. No wonder you have made it clear you don't want me around here. It's who you are. There's mountains more of this stuff, but you already know it, being messengers, and big picture guys (ooooh...scary) and fiercely indep...

Waste of time for me, Kim. We've lived with (not just read about) Barry's lies, and their bad effects, and media dis=information for almost 4 years now, and Obamacare is just a part of it.

Re: A clean, no-binding look

Christian - I think someone said that you used a 'bevel' to achieve the seamless effect. Is it done by very careful hand sanding or do you use a tool of some sort?
Thanks

I tried to edit the above to add some things, could not find the 'edit' button.

A clean, no-binding look

Two instruments that have really impressed me recently had no bindings, and had a very nice and clean look to them. One was 'the Kauri" guitar by Christian on this forum; and one was by NK Forster in one of his vids. Could either of those gents - or others - give some direction on how to best achiev...

Re: American Election Race

Thanks for the lecture, Kim, I really needed that. I've never really just stopped and looked at the facts and made up my own mind about anything. How could I have been so misled?

We could harangue each other til the cows came home and we would still end up interpreting the 'historical' facts differently.

Disagree with almost everything you said. The Bush/Cheney mantra is just that - a catch-phrase that caught on. Obama and his policies are a blight on the nation.

There are are many more things wrong with Obama than his fiscal so-called 'policy'. It is the entire direction of his thought, worldview and teleology. I don't know what crock of distortion is being fed to folks abroad by the media, but from comments here and other places I can tell that the 'news' ...

One of the most gorgeous instruments I've seen.

Another binding jig

From KMG guitars. I've used it on the last 10 instruments; I take a couple of passes out of caution, and it does a fine job. Inexpensive, easily adjustable, no bearings to fool with. Another way to skin that poor cat.

Re: Some Sobering Thoughts...

It's easy to find facts to fit our theories and thereby 'prove' them correct; I'm guilty of that upon occasion. That is not scientific methodology though I think it is how some "science" is done: Pseudo-science. Like Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth' which was such terrible drivel. Yes he won the No...
