At 4:28pm on December 29, 2009, bairfoot cajun said…: thanks julian fer da nice comment bout my 1886 build,you gots some nice builds here fer sure. i admire yer work greatly. those f-holes on yer first build are very distinguished and the rest of the build is really top notch.[i seem to like solid wood boxes best] but then the montecristo gets as good or better than yer first,then even more greatness with the caribes box. i would have to say 5 stars plus on all three builds.

At 7:38pm on December 15, 2009, HENRY LOWMAN said…: WELCOME to the madness!!! A new revolution has started, it seems...I've posted photographs of MY contribution to the cause, the Lyra Mbira (pronounced LEER-A M-BEERA), wherein the kalimba meets analytical cubism...LOL!...CHEERS!

At 8:37am on September 29, 2009, Roosterman said…: Ah well, next year mate!
Yep, those boxes are nice - they sound great too (used one a while ago for a 4 string), but I know what you mean about them being flimsy. Had the twin apart that many times the dovetails let go... ho hum, more work
Right, lots to pack so I best get going
