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

Steve be positive maybe she just didn't hear your comment about getting good

Tom the tracks are screwed to fixture An thy two wood cradles slide on track an fasten
With the threaded black knobs. A half minute deal to secure steel in cradle.

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.
