Anything but Webers

Beautiful kids.

You will spend more on them than kettles for the next twenty years. And not regret a penny.

Or maybe a little more than twenty years...still no regret. What a great picture.

You have the older one up on skates now, right?

The older one is up on whatever he can find to get up on Jon. He's a trouble maker lol

These are Labatt Blue beer bottle caps from the early 1980s.  Pry-off before they switched to twist-off.
It was so-long to the stubby beer bottle, and hello to the eventual long-neck bottle.
Decided to make a fridge magnet out of them.

VERY Intriguing!

thanks!  it's an swamp ash strat body i've grain filled and begun finishing.  it's a chambered (warmoth) body so it's very light weight and resonant. 

i still haven't decided if the burst is going to be brown or black around the edges, possibly a combination of the two.  the neck will be a very non-typical mahogany/rosewood combination in 24.75" scale, which is more les paul-ish than a typical strat 25.5" scale length. 

should be done in, eh, a couple months at minimum.  lacquer takes a good month to dry before you can think about wetsand and polishing it like glass.

Warmoth makes some great stuff. I'll share a pic of my Favorite, a '94 Peavey Strat copy, bought new on a whim and I've kept it over Strats and Teles through all the years.
My Son has an ongoing (3+ years so far) Strat project that'll blow your mind, I'll find some pics of it.

I play a LOT of acoustic stuff and this is my pride and joy 1980-1983 ( closest record from factory) Alvarez 5013 "Ironhorse" my Dad hand picked for me in 1986 as a Christmas gift. He found it in a pawn shop and loved it so...I love it too. I installed a Fishman Presys system in it last weekend so now I can gig with it.

My stockpile of hickory - this was a nice tree that fell in the woods maybe 20 yards from my house. I spent the better part of the winter of 2013-2014 bucking it, splitting it with an axe, humping it out of the woods with a wheelbarrow, and stacking it. It came out to a cord - almost precisely. It's perfectly seasoned now - after two years - and the stack is still standing up nicely.

That's nice saw and axe work! What are your plans for all of it?

Great effort for a majestic tree.  Use it on every cook you can, hickory smoke flavor is my personal favorite                                    SJ

as much as I can use will go to cooking! either in chunks or burned down to coals for ribs in my barrel smoker. I've got plenty of other firewood for the fireplace and the fire pit. As it gets older and buggy, as hickory often does, I'll use it for the fireplace.

I've got no shortage of hickories...three more smaller hickories are growing too close to the house and will have to come down soon

it was a gorgeous tree - a good 40 feet to the first branch and 24" diameter at breast height. If it hadn't fallen wedged between rocks and other trees, it might have been lumber.
