BY THE WAY - ALL OF THESE PICS ARE CLICKABLE TO GET A LARGER VIEW-IF YA DID'NT ALREADY KNOW!
PRETTY WOOD!
< REMIND YOU OF MR. GREEN JEANS??
ALS0-This is my friend and classmate Sheriff Frank Hughes-He is a retired AZ Sheriff who was shot in the line of duty, not too serious, and is attending classes with his son, Scott. Roll call goes, Frank, Scott, Scotty, etc. I had bought an apron and the strap around my neck was bothering me, I had helped him with some design work for his inlay, and he offered to have his wife, Sue, sew something on to pad the strap. I thought that was very, nice. When he returned, not only had she fixed the apron but also sewed a new apron out of old Levi's- Very stylish eh? I hope to meet his wife soon and thank her accordingly.
NICE MAN!
Not that serious-There was a very bad virus / flu thing going around the shop- it actually made one guy so ill, he was out for over a week! I have been overdosing on C since I got here so that may have stayed it off for a while-but this weekend, it finally got me-I went to sleep early friday, and took Nyquil saturday, slept for almost 14 hours! I may have nipped it in the bud! Staying on top of it-I have not missed a day yet and don't plan to! So all is well, thanks for your on-going prayers.
As far as guitar building goes-we are VERY busy. Trying to get our electrics, which are essentially done, into the spray booth. That
takes six days to spray, and then two weeks to harden, I have to finish putting frets on my electric neck and do the finish sanding, which is mostly done. We are in the process of getting our acoustic bodies assembled, and then carve and inlay the acoustic necks-that, on top of lectures, demos, studying and trying to stay well, I have been quite busy. Weekends are such a blessing!
I mentioned last entry that I was adding BING DING, mispelled, typing error, Binding, the decorative strip around the edge of the top of the guitar, is in, tortoise shell, looks really nice-The bubinga headcap I had put on the electric is gone, there was a slight flaw and I had to re-do it, I was not pleased, but in the long run, the new one matched the body better. so all is well and now I know how to fix that problem in the future!. Not many pics this week, as I just have not had time for much of anything.
I will post what I have , I think me carving top braces. Thats all for now-be praying for Lloyd, He is the one that missed so much- he has a week to catch up, starting Monday. Love to all-see you at Christmas!
