#1 Thelast couple of years there have been post as to where folks live. I am not suggesting a bunch of post as to where folks live here. I know where alot of the older folks are. I am wondering who may live in a few hour commute from Portland Maine, and wouldn't mind me coming to visit. I went through Buffalo, NY in the last month and really thought of callling my friend Bob C. but was on way back and forth for my dad illness and then funeral, so not a lot of time. Maybe could pm me.

#2 If someone would want to make and sell a vacum clamp system and some templates also maybe could pm me. I would prefer to try and make the stuff, but I am now is a 640ft apt. Long way from 1800 ft house and 800sq ft shop.

If someone close enough maybe interested in renting a few hours of shop time for me to do little things and maybe make the things with some other insite. TIA

Well Stan, I'd be pleased as pie to have you come by my shop, but it's not anywhere near Portland Maine. If you ever get to Northern California though, please stop by.

Stan,
There is a NEL meeting this Sunday in Acton MA! A large percentage of the NEL members are active OLF members as well. GO to NEL to learn more including directions to our meeting site in Acton.

Also, Rolfe Gerhardt of Phoenix Mandolins is in your neck of the woods. (Sourth Thomaston, Phoenix). He's a pretty nice quy and might like a vist.

Dave, I got to get by and see you and John one day pretty soon. I have kin-fok in OKC actualy in Dell City, close enough. just thought I give some warrning

Will be back in Bartlesville before long to see all the kids and grandkids. When leave here going either back to Bartlesville, Tulsa or Branson. Mostly thinking of Branson as that is just a couple hours from everyone and alot of guitars there

I was just up in Portland last weekend at Gritty McDuffs... Good beer..

Gary

I've been there too Gary, and I agree the beer was excellant, I went in another one at Freeport too, I like their Bitter best of all.

Hi Stan. Mapquest says Portland is 1 hour 36 minutes from my house in Danville, N.H. If you don't mind the drive you are welcome to use my shop. it's in an attached 1 car garage that has had the garage door removed and a wall and standard door and window installed in it's place. It's ain't huge but I have most the tools you'd need. Oh yeah, it's heat and humidity controlled too. You should also check those NEL
meetings.

Hey Stan, if venturing this close to the Gulf of Mexico is not too scary, I'd be proud to have you over here in Georgia.

Thanks all. Good friends here, don't even have to see them in person to know that. You all are much appreciated. Once some things break loose, may take some road trips

Stan--
You are welcome to come by my shop where the air is hot, and the power is off. I could open a window and hold a flashlight for ya.   
How are your hand tool skills?

Steve
