Hi George..... Your a hillbilly!! Well you said it :lol:
I personally have great admiration for anyone who can make good tunes.... You do mean you play don't you?
Still, like the music too :headbang: (no stompin smiley!)
What are you planning to craft/mod?
The last hobby..... What's one of those then?? :whip: :lol:
I suppose it wouldn't be right if I didn't fit this smiley in somewhere eh? :beer:
Have fun,
Ralph.

Hello George,
Welcome, you'll like it here. Great group of folks with varied interests.
I also am into banjos (have too many, current count is four with my 'baby' being a Stelling Red Fox.)
Enjoy!

Thanks for the welcome...
Mike, I have three 5 string banjo's and all were made by Pavel Janish in the Czech Republic. I compaired them to Stellings, Gibsons, Ome...and others, just to find that I like Pavel's banjos better, plus I visited his home and shop and had one custom made for me.
Ralph......jea I knwo I'm a hillybilly. :headbang:
Beer.....well, since I don't have a spare fridge for lagering,,, it mostly comes like a strong Ale......but aahhhhh l like it.
Toys to make.......I have been working on a custom bike, and quite a few parts are made by hand... or on my Rotwerk lathe, once I get my mill, life will be eaiser...
Model steam engine's are next.

I am not a huge fan of most Harleys (don't really like choppers) I like bobbers, flat trackers, brat style and the like... but that Army bike :jaw: Nice!
