Projects

Monday June 27 2011
It seems that I have always had a project going on something or other. My most ambitious  has been building solid body lap steel guitars. The attached photo is of the first guitar I ever built.It is made out of 1" x2" hard maple lumber. It is very strong and stable, as it seldom needs to be tuned. This guitar was the first in a series of 6 instruments of which 5 incorporated a 4 tuning changer, that is the set up of the strings could be changed to suit the song being played. 
    For the sake of getting this blog up to date, here are a few of the projects undertaken.
I got reaquainted with art during a trip to Wisconsin4-5 years ago. My daughters mother-in-law is an accomplished artist, and gave me some supplies to get started. Snce that time I have been commissioned to paint a mural on the wall at church, and a wall at the home of a friend. 
   Without sounding bored, here we are at another Monday, and so it begins anew.
