Make of this what you will, but here is something I have hesitated to post for a long time, but think it applies to this topic. I haven't posted for a while, I really don't seem to fit into standard...
I think some of these photos are huge so here are reduced versions...

Well... I recently retired and decided to dive into a few projects that have been lurking in the shadows for years. One of them is this AM-10 Kit. I did a lot of hot-rodding the components and even...
It has taken a long time with my extremely tight schedule, but the results are worth it! The Martin has a some minor fret buzz higher on the neck on a couple of strings, but they both sound and play...
Oh jeez, I didn't listen to it the first time, very absurd!
I think the original is a little bit better...
The Clip comes from a DVD called "Bluegrass Journey" with a lot of great players and commentary. Tim O'brien & Darrell Scott, Nickel Creek, Tony Rice, Del McCoury Band, Jerry Douglas, etc... From the...
I just wrote to him again, I'll let you know if he answers!
Hey Chan! I haven't heard back from him yet, but after reading the crazy story, right out of the world's current insanity, I've sort of written it off as a donation to world sanity. I would rather...
I also ordered one from him a couple of weeks before Christmas. His work looks great and I'm sure it will be beautiful. He finally wrote back and explained the situation, I also wish him the best...
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. I've been following them for years. Astounding musical mash-up!
Awesome! Brought tears to my eyes. Great band, great arrangement, and amazing Chris!!
Hi Andy, I tried all of the very harsh epoxy strippers, as well as all the gel paint strippers and they just rolled off and didn't touch the finish. At that point I wasn't aware of the citrus...
Here is a thread that speaks directly to this. A few years ago I refinished my Legacy O model. It is an earlier instrument made in Korea so I'm not sure what finish they are using now but this older...
$18 per dozen all day long, from the man himself... NFI BTW

Very sad to hear this today! One of my early mandolin influences! I got into Fairport in the late '60s early '70s and followed all of them in their various band configurations. Love the video above...
My Bass playing Dad, Harry Babasin was a very good friend of Barney's and they played together on many recordings... Thanks for posting!
Only if I had a matching, Elvis bell-bottomed Nudie designed rhinestone studded leisure suit and cape! That would be stylin'
We went to the show that night. Everyone was great that evening. Kruger Brothers, Tim O'Brien and the Wood Brothers!
Teddy is awesome!! I have been a big fan of Richard and his mom Linda for years. I saw him play with Richard on the Celtschmerz tour and it is still one of my all time favorite shows. I'll have to...
My Dad was a pioneer of Jazz Pizzicato cello in the 50s and he did tune to fourths... This is a fun old TV show from the LA area. The intro is very silly but the band is pretty cool! PS, I think...
Nordian suggested and I do the same thing, it works great... pull the string through with the loop wrapped around the post, pull it tight and clamp with a capo halfway up the neck - and - (as per...
I have a big Thayer & Chandler gun with a large siphon jar that is easy to change, an Iwata medium size brush and a very precise Paasche turbo brush, all from my illustration days. Now everything is...
I shied away from these for a long time because of the hype and expense. Finally, about a month ago I got a TAD-3R 60 with round bevel thinking it might be somewhat similar to the venerable Dawg pick...
