I can’t Travis pick, but I gots me a mean claw hammer…. lol
Let’s see those LP Jr’s!!!!! Hey, Just like I said above ie the basses, I'll be at our Alabama place hunting turkeys for a bit. All I have here are the above mentioned Vox hollow body bass and my old J-45. Will snap some pics when I get back to Idaho. BUT - to clarify - none of mine are special to anyone but me. I have multiples because my career put me all over the world and I'd seek out guitars from that place and time, then bring them home once the project was complete. Many would call it a trash/music store collection, but to me it's kind of "my life/career" in memories!

Re: Wood finishing...

Some stuff called Opie's oil , was cleaning and refinishing an old desktop, turned out after getting all the crud off it was cherry . Talked to the guys in woodcrafter's and they said Opie's oil , best stuff I ever saw for a refinishing job,doesn't take much,rubs on smooth ,just use a small felt pad a little goes a long .only drawback ,it is expensive. The little 6oz? Bottle was 64 bucks but it could do maybe 10 rifle stocks so I guess if you cost it out it's not so bad

Danish Oil. I like the Walnut colored one. I do all my Mil-Surp referbs with it. HERE is a little bit about it from a woodworker. I use WATCO danish dark walnut and steel wool. Had great results. I don't think that's the right product for this case. I have already used RLO and am looking now to add shine. The product you're suggesting doesn't appear to do that.

You ignorant bastards are so blind to what Israel really is, it’s no wonder you believe every fabrication you swallow without chewing. Haaretz and other Israeli papers have debunked all the October 7 outlandish stories. But you weak little pretenders and Bible thumpers get your rocks off on atrocity stories and, what’s worse, actual Israeli atrocities against millions of concentration camp prisoners they had already brutalized and routinely bombe to death for decades. And you are proud of your ignorance.

Re: RIP Klaus Hiptmayer Canadian Gunsmith

You did a great job on that beautiful rifle and I know it was a true labor of love. The countless hours you spent painstakingly sanding and oiling it paid off in the finished product and I’m sure that your father and Klaus were smiling down while you worked…and worried…and worked…
I do hope that you take it elk hunting and use it as your dad once used it, to put meat on the table. It’s a beautiful rifle that has tremendous sentimental value to you but its value increases exponentially every time you go afield and make more memories with it. I’m sure both your dad and Klaus would want you to enjoy it in the most practical of ways….hunting!
All my best to you my friend! Ditto KB!! Thanks for the additional pic of the butt - I may have to incorporate that in a rifle or two down the road! PennDog Hi PennDog are you a Gunsmith that builds rifles? I would sure like to see some of your beautiful work if you are? Thank you for all of your kind words, sure makes me believe that I did a good job, even though I would do a lot of things differently if I had to do it all over again, that's for sure!! Much appreciated Sir! Do you mind if I ask you a question? Cheers ~

Not to make fun of any of those guys, they ARE/were, guitar playing dudes. Just not my genre! Chet Atkins Jerry Reed Richard Smith Tommy Emmanuel
Finger pickers rule! If "finger pickers rule" why no props to the one greatest original, the one whose style earned me a tryout at the New England Conservatory of Music... (which I so fraking tanked!!! ): MERLE TRAVIS Without a doubt! 👍 Ok, so you tanked your tryout, but that still puts you above the run of the mill string plucker! LOL! Me? Got a really nice Martin, but all I can do is strum it. If it wasn't for "fake note", I'd never be able to play. I'll never earn 10 cents playing, but I can make me happy! One of the first people to start me playing was Jim. Jim had visited Branson, MO at one time and had the opportunity to play. They begged him to come play for one of the venues up there. Jim wasn't leaving Podunk, OK! Until COVID-19 (💉 vaccine) took the owner, I used to hang out at a weekly acoustic jam. I was surprised at the quality of players that showed up! Some of those guys were amazingly good! One of the guys played for Elvis for a while. You never know! One of the best was a local meth head that could absolutely make a mandolin sit up and beg! My entire family plays stringed instruments. Where I'm from we didn't have TV until the 1980s. I have several relatives that "had it" and made good lives/careers in music (teaching, etc). I simply didn't/don't. Maybe the reason I was so successful in engineering/project management. My playing is technically always pretty darn good...but the "soul" just isn't there. It's more a math exercise for me. Funny thing - I have a cousin who has been immensely successful in guitar. He got me the day school/program tryout at NEC; he graduated from there with all kinds of honors. One in millions. But he is also so smart he knew he'd not make it in the entertainment world on stage. He went on to Missouri for an electrical engineering degree and became a superstar in audio/sound engineering. It's a strange, brutal unique industry. I'd love to hear the stories from some of the professionals here like longarm that actually had the talent, rolled the dice, and won...

I had a 73 Dodge Dart, 4-door. I put in subframe connectors, 8 3/4 rear end with 4.88 gears, with 360. It ran 12.08 on just the motor and low 11s on the bottle. I drove it around town on 6-inch slicks. I had a lot of fun with that car.
