...because this is my 500th post and I'm now at the same level as the more chatty of our brothers. Happy Grizzled Veterans' Day! Actually, I think Lance spotted me 100 posts a while back, so I may only be pseudo-grizzled

Con-grats I have been there a while and still have not figured out if it is good or bad

Geez I thought you bought a new tool from Grizzly.
Happy Grizzled Veterans' Day!

Welcome to the group! Only the folks most bored on their day-jobs get to this level quickly. You took your time...probably a good thing!

John...patience, my friend! While I'm quite proud of the twins, the pics suck. I'm going to try to redo them this weekend when I return home. I wish I could have you and Hank critique them in person...both of you were instrumental in inspiring my effort.

OK...I guess this is 501!

Way to go JJ. A lot of good advice within those posts I recon'

Dave it means you know way too much... Or at least you think you do

Doug...I've received far more here than I could ever re-pay...I've posed far more questions than answers.

Many thanks to the true grizzled veterans here...you know who you are!

Hey JJ--

Congrats! Does this mean, now, that you are able to successfully bend waterfall Bubinga?
Hmmmm?

Post subject: 

Hey Steve, I just bent some waterfall Bubinga bindings so you can go ahead and send me those sides.....Oh and the back too.

Author:  Steve Kinnaird [ Tue Sep 20, 2005 4:21 am ]
Post subject: 

John, how thoughtful of you. But, bending bindings does not a side-bender make. At least in the crazy figured stuff.

Nice try.

Oh and I'm sure you would'a wanted it back anyway

Steve...Even though you have over 100 posts on me, I'm going to blink and give the WFB and wavy Sapele a try within a few weeks using Tippie's heat blanket and method that he recently posted. I need to get the sides thinned to about .080" first. I want to do this on a 000-12 fret.

I hope I can pull it off without using the string of expletives I've been practicing. You'll be the first to know how I do...and yours might possibly be the first shoulder I cry upon! Wish me luck!

GOOD LUCK, JJ!!
Do let us know how it goes.
We're rooting for ya!
