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 fretboardsP7110308.JPGImage EnlargerP5100052.JPGImage Enlarger16179619_1210708768978081_3713318505326608196_o.jpgImage Enlargerbefore-and-after.JPGImage EnlargerPB260911.JPGImage EnlargerP1111307.JPGImage Enlarger11008522_802804339768528_4942620072369829474_n.jpgImage Enlarger14895612_1121905324525093_782711827_o.jpgImage EnlargerSi853818comp.jpgImage Enlarger

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.

Great to hear from you, @cdennyb. I am pleased you are keeping busy, and can still get some violin time in.

Loved the photos. Thanks for sharing and the update.

Come back again soon, and often.

Thanks for dropping by.
