Has anyone set a date for the next meeting? I was assuming that it might be in March but could be wrong.

I was thinking it would be in April, but sooner would be better!

Hesh...I would certainly like to meet you. Feel free to bring anything you choose...just leave the bathroom hardware behind! Most of us are rookies with a few pros like Mark, Lance, Bryan and others sprinkled in. It's a great learning experience to actually meet everyone and trade experiences.

I would hope that Mark, and/or Bryan will set a date soon for the next meeting.

I'm hoping to bring my latest OLF SJ project along and maybe getting some advice and feedback.

I agree with Lance, Bryans' guitars stand alone! I'm not ready to prop myself up that high yet!
I'll look into the next meeting time also...I'll talk to Bryan and see what is up.
Also folks- keep in mind that Bryan asked us for more input for the meetings. He wanted us all to bring something to show or tell about, or ask. I'll be bringing some things dealing with pickups, acoustic and electric and maybe even drag along my winding machine. I will also have at least one electric guitar to bring along that I just finished up.

I know that I have at least one week in April already committed, but I can't
recall which one. If I can make it I would certainly be happy to bring
tools/jigs to share, or participate in a demonstration. I recall some folks
wanting to see different approaches to fret work and to setups. Tools and
jigs? Building or repair? I could fill a few hours on banjo setups .

Shouldn't there be an MGL committee organizing this thing? Who's the
chairman here anyway? Did I miss the vote for the board of directors?

I would love to see and hear both you and Bryans thoughts on setups, specifically acoustic guitar.
Techniques', tools how too's etc.

Okay, I'll have a two hour presentation on autoharp setups and felt
replacements ready by April.

Excellent! You and Bryan can have a string-change race--that should take up about an hour and a half.
