  • This is really nice Fergus, did you bring it to Birm, I missed so much?

  • Worthy is is, nice job.
  • this box belonged to my grandfather, I absolutely slaughtered making my first build not knowing what I was doing and made a really crappy instrument, but I think now I have done something worthy with this box.
