Been a long time since I stopped in to post anything. An update for the older members who remember me.

Yes, I'm still building violins (electric fretted)

Yes, I'm still rebuilding and repairing acoustic guitars

Yes, I actually found in a dumpster and repaired/rebuilt a Martin D-28 from 1969 and it's awesome.

Yes, I'm still building laser engraved and abalone in-layed fretboards

Yes, I'm also playing pedal steel, it's easier than the violin... but

yes, I still play the violin and thank Pierre for this website and his patience with us know-it-all beginners who are always learning.

I can only manage about 10-15 min a day because of the pain associated with a wrist injury from years ago and love it when I can play.

I see lots of familiar names as "admins" on here. I alos watch the yearly projects and smile and wish I could participate but lack of ability to practice enough prevents me from joining but I'll watch all of you perform...

Keep up the practice and remember you can do it.
