Cool!
Steve, I can't wait for more pictures! Nice work, brother!
I look forward to seeing more pictures. Keep the updates coming, Steve
I really like how that "corner protector" is joined with a right angle "vee" instead of a flat. Smart.
I'm fascinated by the looks of these beautiful instruments that you make Steve, they are truly a work of art. I hope to one day play one and who knows, maybe be an owner. Looking forward to some more photos are you progress!
