Roy, That was great.
Henry

Marten, That looks like it will be a beautiful instrument when finished. I am anxious to see it and hear it. Be sure to keep us posted. Henry

Tom, that looks great. what gage nickle did you use? I have been a western silversmith (hoby) for over 20 years and would like make something like this with bright cut engraving on it, however my eyesight is giving out so I' afraid the engraving will be a little crude. Any way great work and be sure...

Ray we both knoww that P I's sometimes step on some toes. It goes with the terratory, but don't let it get you down. Tho we have never met you have given me some good advise and I certainly respect you for that. I personally don't think this forum is the place for that. That said remember the old Ro...

Well Bill, I guess it is time for me to eat a little humble pie. The picture was interesting to say the least, but I still think you need to be in politics
Henry

Bill, It appears you have a penchent for evading the issues by changing the subject. In my opinion you are all gurgle and no guts. In other words sir, you shoot more crap than a Chinese turd gun. You have been asked numerous times to post pics or sound bites but you seem to wiggle out of it. I do th...

Doug, That was great. You certainly give us beginners something to aspire to. If you ever publish the TABs for that please let me know. Henry

Thanks Tom, I thought I had read somewhere about adding the dye to the True Oil. Henry

Tom, I am in the process of building a T8 along the lines of a Fender. I have some real nice curly maple and I am an admirer of the finishes you get with True Oil. I want to use a red leather die and would like to know if you mix this in with the True Oil or do you apply it seperatly? I saw an earli...

I recently bought a D8 and as I live in an RV my space is limited so I need to sell West Coast lapsteel. This was pirchased new in April of this year. I has a hard maple body pau ferro fret board with real fretas, through stringing George L 10-1 pup and a 22 1/2 inch scale. I believe this is the sam...

OK guy's I've got it. I have all the TABs,tuners, 2 instruments, a metranome, Earnie Ball volume pedal, a 25 watt amp two or three vidio's ------and the T shirt. Does that make me a steel player? Seriously I appreciate the input. I will takr Ray's advice and study and practice. Henry

I had it for years from working on a flight deck of a carrier, with ear protection. I went to a chiropractor for an unrelated reason but the ringing stopped immediately afterwards. That was about 4 years ago and it has not returned. I went to the bone cracker for vertigo and that was taken care of a...

You guys have answered a lot of my questions and I would like thank each one of you. I found the Edly book in Gillette today and I think the glossary alone is worth the price. I also have a ton of other material that some of you folks have put out. I will concentrate mostly on the Jerry Byrd course ...

You guys are awsome, thanks for the replies, they will be extremely helpfull, and at my age I need all the help I can get.

It is very gratifying to find people that so willing to take the time to help others in the way you folks are doing.

Thaks again.

Henry

Ihave read many of the discussions on here about cord progression and etc. The problem is I don't understand any of it. I have had no musical training and when you folks start talking of minors, majors, triads, sixths and other terms I am completely lost. I do have Jerry Byrds course and am making s...

I am fairly new to this forum and to music period but I don't think I am to old to learn. I just wanted to say I think this one of the greatest forums I have ever seen. You guys seam willing to answere a lot of basic questions and I really appreciate that. Beleave me I have lots of them, unfortunate...

I have been a weatern bright cut engraver for nearly20 years and from looking at the pictures I would say they are definately hand engraved. I don't think any body like Montana silversmiths would go to the expense of tooling up for mass praduction for such a small market, how ever I understand they ...

James, Thanks for the reply. I've had a chance to realy look it over this afternoon and did find 2 small scratches on the back fret board. Now I've got to tune it and learn to play. I do have a West Coast Hawaiian lap as well that Ive had a little over a month. I didn't know steel could be so addict...

I just purchased a double neck Guyatone from Killer Vintage and it appears to be brand new. I am curious if Guyatone is still making these or not and would like an experts opinion of them. I can't find any dings or scratches on it and the case is in new condition. It has beautifull tone and I am ver...

Thanks for the input James. I guess my real question is which would have the best sustain.
