My nephew just made a new gadget for my steel ... a bar tray with 12 holes for 12 bars, hole for my Sticky Picks, hole for my machine oil, hole for two tuning wrenches and two recessed areas for two sets of picks ... I did the design, he did the construction with a little help from me and we both had a hand in the paint job.

Nephew meaning Sheldon? What a work of art. Now, Jimmy Boy, get to practicing. That thing isn't going to play itself... Cool

Thanks, guys ...

OMG, Erv, you're right! I was just telling Sheldon last night that it reminded me of something I'd seen before, but couldn't place ... and you nailed it! LOL Smile Now, if it just came with a hamburger and crinkle cut fries! Very Happy

Well...... It was made for it Chris.Wink
I couldn't help saying something like you might say Chris. Please forgive me.

As far as the design goes, it is great but missing the hole to put my beer in.
