Official Luthiers Forum!

Well, maybe I need to clarify that.

Exchanges between you and me seem to have lost their warmth, and after reading the posts about you and Mario, and other stuff, I decided it must have been over the same previous posts about making your own bridges and necks, as I spoke in favor of hand carving those parts, too. Forgive me if I offended you brother Hesh. I really don't think it is any of my business what methods others choose to do, and I'm not making everything I use to build, so I certainly don't have the right to speak against anyone's methods.

We all have the right to (and should) express our opinions, but never in a derogatory manner, and I'm afraid I came across that way. You are a very talented builder and I am in awe of your instruments. So, if I offended you, I sincerely ask you to accept this humble apology. Your friendship means a lot to me.

Ron

Before i join in the celebration and show all my Teddy Bear pictures, i'd like to give this thought my very dear brothers....

Being a member of this great family is most of the times easy for all the love i receive and all the knowledge that is freely shared. It is also hard at times when i see division or attempts of it being whispered in someone's ear because of the light of love that shines really bright here...we should always consider that when something is good, there will be forces that wiil try to dismantle it.

I really appreciate what you did Ron although i do not know what happened prior to this thread, i suspect that you felt it was the right thing to do in your heart and in your soul and i applaud your initiative to work for the greater good of us all!

Ok, time for :

GROUP HUG!!!!!

HEY!!! WHERE'S MY TEDDY BEAR PICTURES???

I think you're all great! Just an observation from a relative newbie...

Hesh, about your comment regarding having made everything but the wood...I'm gonna plant a tree and use it for a guitar 20 years or so from now...that's as close as I can get to making EVERYTHING!
