Thanks you, good sir.
What is that you are working on in the picture?

John, it's for a bow plate. It goes on the tip of a violin bow to help shape and hold the horse hair of the violin' bow. As seen in this picture the bow on the bottom is complete with hair and shows a plate of ivory. I don't have ivory so am using brass. They are available commercially, but I like to tinker, so I'm attempting this. No, I don't play the violin, this was in a thrift store for very little. I thought it would be a good wall hanger. MY best friend is a string player and has offered lesson.:thumbsup:

Haven't posted here in a while but this is what my lambsfoot is looking like as of now! I love the way it's aging and showing it's patina, also this thing can really work.

Glad you're getting to use the big'n, Ty. They do work and age well.

LOL! :D

Sorry buddy, I completely missed your post before (and Vince's above it), I think I was editing the 'class photo' ;)

Nice artwork, too, but the dialogue? Today's writers should take lessons from Stan Lee! ;)

That's the truth, Vince. I'm just afraid that it reflects the way of the world these days. Now I know why all those old men used to say, "Dang Kids"!!!

You are very handy then (Mr. Fixit).
I always wanted to play an instrument, just never had the patience for it.

Just getting my kit together to go out for a hike tomorrow :) Going to be heading a few miles further north to Skipton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skipton). There are some nice woods there, and hopefully the bluebells will be out :) Going to take Lucy and the new guy with me, hopefully get a few pics ;) :thumbsup:

It's a nice market town Harvey, a few antique shops, and surrounded by some great countryside. The last time I was there, we walked along the canal from Gargrave on a gloriously hot Summer's day :) I had my wee staggy with me :thumbsup:

For a Yank who has never been there before, it was like an historical Disney Land. Don’t ask me why, (it had nothing to do with the town), but an old XTC song started playing in my head.
