Prostheta Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Agreed. It does do that. Always good to see old school guys checking in, and showing that you've got things on the boil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the shell built, but my daughter's penguin comes next in the priority list, as per my daughter. Well, that plus finding a single home with either a large basement or a garage that I can turn into a workshop. My wife said that she would not mind if I continued to build, as long as a 30 second walk was involved instead of a 20 minute drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that the next one will go much smoother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend who is teaching me carving was requested to make birds for the Long's park Art Show in Lancaster this year. He does not carve to sell, he always gave them as gifts to friends and family. He is really excited for this, plus a little stressed. He is making 8 gray catbirds, 3 cranes, and 8 mallards. I told him I would help him by keeping out of his way. He laughed and thanked me for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck_Chill-Out Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Okay, a little update. I hauled the Brick to my church Wednesday night. It definitely is a brick - 9.5 pounds. Thanks to Vorson for a padded strap. The one bass player in our worship team asked if he could play it. He sat down, plugged it in and started playing a few licks. Needless to say, I was very happy that it made music, The bass player looked at me and asked, "When are you going to build mine now." We are in discussion about what he wants in the way of wood and hardware. He wants the same shape, so I must have done something right. Oh, my wife and I looked at a house nearby that has a full basement and is being sold 20K under list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 If only that 20k could be part of the bargain, right? Great that you have official sanction for a new project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck_Chill-Out Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Well, a few things: 1. The bass case is on hold. I was at yard sales the other week with my wife and daughter and found this Hohner bass case for 10 dollars. The only issue was the zippers were missing the pull tabs. Enter two keychain rings, and it works fine. 2. We passed on the house. It had a large unfinished basement, but the rest of the house was too small. We are working on becoming pre-approved and are looking at other houses. My wife knows that I am looking for a place to work and she is okay with that. 3. Sad news. After fighting liver cancer for a year, my mother passed away this past Tuesday. She was a fighter and blew the doctors away by living this long and this well. They only gave her 6 months to live.

Prostheta Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I'm really sorry to hear that. Totally rough, and I hope that yourself and the family are working through it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
