Wish I wasn't on the other side of the continent Pete. You guys have a great thing going on over there and I'd love to join in with the group. And more pictures are always a treat to look at.

Nice guitars and uke, I kinda like the heart shape sound hole, my girls would love that. Is it an organised group of builders you have going on, or just a group of mates.

Cheers

Col

They're not so much a bunch of instruments builders that like a beer as a bunch of beer drinkers that like building instruments.

I think I would fit in there perfectly then, except I don't have grey hair. Do you let baldy's into the club?

Yes I would love to spend a Saturday with you all and sway a few yarns but Townsville is a little bit out of the way. I have never been to Western Australia and would like to sometime. Some beautiful work there lads and the weissenborn is a ripper alright!

Cheers

Alan

Some really nice instruments there.
You are only a stone throw (OK a Long throw :D ) away from my home town of Esperance.
