Australian/New Zealand Luthiers Forum

I know that Kim pops in at TLC to chime in once in a while, but I'm not sure how many other Aussie's or Kiwi's pop in there so I thought I would post this wonderful story to share with the mates here at ANZLF. Here's Tommy: http://www.luthiercom.org/phpBB3/viewto ... f=33&t=904

Cheers!

That thing in ingenious. I want one of those Craig.

OJ is going to be the biggest celeb in his new home. I have a feeling he won't have to worry about duct tape. Bubba and Leroy are looking for the young tender stuff, not the old flabby booty.

Vince

Nice work Stu. Love that headstock shape.

Guess I was focused on David Collins on that pic Hesh. Love those laser beam eyes. I had a great time meeting with some of the folks I only knew in cyber space. It was great to meet all of you in person. It was especially nice to meet Bob Connor. You aussies have quite a talented guy there. Hesh, yo...

Looks like you're taking good care of the Bob's Hesh. I don't think he was pointing at the sign. It looks to me like he has something in his eye and he's getting ready to rub it.

Vince

Looking forward to meeting you folks in AA tomorrow. Can't wait.

Vince

George is definitely flipping out right about now!

Kim, this is the first time I've seen it done this way. I think I'm missing some steps. After your fingerboard is bound, are you measuring each fret to fit perfectly before installation, or is there still work to be done? How are you setting the frets, hammer or press? I've seen where some will put ...

Thanks! I'm getting some from a pharmacist friend. Don't know how much yet.

Vince

Brilliant Kim. Where did you get the syringes? I've bought white plastic ones from my local Rockler hardware, but I've never seen them available with volume measurements and see-thru.

Vince

Beautiful work Martin. I love the bound fretboard and headstock, and that rosette is gorgeous.

With the economy getting tight and unemployment rising, a blond gal who can't find a job decides she's going to take the bull by the horns and start working for herself. She decides to go through the neighborhood knocking on doors to ask people if they have any odd jobs for her to do. She gets turne...

Don't you know how dangerous it is when you mix two of the same? I mean engineer and english teacher, they both start with the letter E. Congratulations Lillian and Fran. Here's to wishing you both a life of happiness together.

Hesh, you're making me blush. Maybe I should bring my autographed copy of Brokeback Mountain to AA with me next weekend, whadda ya think?

Actually no, I don't have any BRW. It looks like BRW. And it SMELLS like BRW when you cut it. But no, I don't have no stinken old-growth BRW. :wink: Actually I don't have any left for sale. However, I do have a good source for some fine birdseye maple from northern Michigan, and at such a good price...

You mean the BRW?? That's quite a high price.

When someone reaches a state of anger, logic and reason are tools of thought that are no longer available to the person who allows their mind to reach that state. I reached that state of mind in the not so distant past. After spending most of my summer working on furniture to keep my wife happy, and...

Looking forward to meeting you Bob. See you in Ann Arbor.

What Dennis said in spades!!!! It appears many of the republican criminals are throwing of their uniforms and blending with the civilians until after the election. The big problem isn't with the candidates, but in the lard assed, spoiled, self serving ignorant American voter. This type of voter has...

My sincere apologies Kim. Since your post followed Paul's post, which is where I posted, I assumed you deleted my post since you are a moderator. Hesh, I'm going to kick your arse when I get to Ann Arbor next weekend. The only thing I said in my post, deleted by Hesh :evil: , was in reference to Den...

I don't understand why I am being censored Kim. I didn't say anything inflammatory. Seems to me that is why you left Mario's forum. Rather than getting into a friendly debate, I would rather just point out the hypocrisy and leave. Cancel me. Thanks!

Although I live in Ohio now, I was born and raised in Michigan. (hi Hesh) Recently I was up to visit family in the suburban Detroit area. Much of my family are 'dyed in the wool' democrats and union members. Many of them are folks who work year long planning for that one week in November when they g...

My apologies for the lack of a formal introduction. My name is Vince. I am a chiropractor and I live just south of Cleveland, Ohio. I have a lovely wife of 23 years and three boys. I love everything wood, especially guitars. I found out about this place via my friend Hesh a while back and finally go...
