Johnnie,

Really like your workshop setup. Looks like the guitar is resting on a sliding track?

Haha! It never ceases to amaze me how women feel a need to compete with inanimate objects, but I was never with one that let me down in that respect - least of which, my wife haha! My heart does have to go out to her forbearance of the "agonizing cat" noises that come out of my pedal steel as I learn however.

When I was learning to play fiddle many years back, my wife dubbed it either a "basement toy" or a "divorce box." Fortunately, I had a basement at the time....At least there are headphone amps for steel players.

We're still married 40 plus years later, so happy ending anyway.

Not too long ago I said to my wife, "hey, I'm getting pretty good, huh?"
She gave me a nice smile and shut the door to my music room as she left

When I built my first steel about 1968, With the wife I had, I thought I had built and Electrified Bitch Table. I could not turn it on without,Oh &*)(((*&&^^%%%. My guitar was always out of tune and she blamed the kids. She was not a Happy Camper.
Caught her at the Archway Cookie Distributor house at 2am. Big D, I quit drinking and now I am the Happy Camper. He don't know what a favor he done me.
