Hi to All,
I was browsing some of the topics in the forum and noticed some of you have web sites. I clicked on one and was I amazed. I have spent the last hour just checking out your personal sites and WOW! You folks craft some very, very beautiful instruments. It amazes me how you can take a few pieces of wood and create such a fine piece of art. My complements to each and every one of you on your craftsmanship and abilities. You all make the world a better place by sharing you talents and giving the gift of music in such beautiful packages.
Jack

Hi Mike,
Yes Hesh is one, and you, and all that had sites (to many to mention). I think you all have talents that are worth making mention. You all have the right to be proud of what you can do.
I wish I could own one of everything I saw, but that is not a possibility. Once again you all do beautiful work. Any one would be proud to have an instrument built by the great craftsmen that you all are.
Jack

Remember Jack, nobody comes into this world with a Porsche or a shop full of tools, exotic wood, and an inventory of finely crafted instruments.

Step by step...

If you're doing the rounds, don't miss Howard Klepper's site http://www.klepperguitars.com/gallery.html or Peter Marreiros' http://www.projectzion.com/recent.html

Howard has a magical ability to make weird look good, and Peter's got one of the best design eyes in the business.
