I couldn't find it either.
If you succeed in cheating someone, don't think that the person is a fool. It's just that the person trusted you far more than you deserved.

Here's a thought. Is the video marked "Friends" or "Public"?
If "Friends" only those folks can see it.
fwiw

H, it's on my timeline as well as the "friends ".
Send me a friend request, I'll accept, and we'll see what happens.
Sorry for all the trouble.

That's the problem. If it's on your timeline marked "Friends" the rest of the world cannot see it.
Small suggestion, especially if you're in business with this, create a YouTube channel and upload for all the world to see.
Oh...sent a friend request a while ago.
Thanks

Confirmed. Mark the videos "Public" for those folks not your "Friends"on Facebook and you'll be good to go.
Those folks NOT on Facebook still will not be able to access the video, hence the YouTube recommendation.

While the MCI mechanics and tone etc. were goals that we started to look at not to mention other notable builds, the
parts are not interchangeable. The cross shafts are 5/16"
stainless,vs. the MCI 3/8". Thanks for your interest.

That's true - I'm among the growing number of people who avoid social media in general, for numerous reasons. If Fakebook is the marketing tool of choice, I'd never see any products shown there.

I agree with Dave...I don't go near the place (Facebook)! But, I would be interested in the new "Lone Star Steel".

I agree, I had it under lonestarsteelguitar originally,but
recently they wanted me to use my name, so I did.
The new web site should be up in a week or so. I will send the link as soon as it is.
Thanks for your opinions, help and interest.
