| Hey Rick, that steel looks better & better with each new picture that you post. How about calling it "The Elliecaster"? (Or would that be trademark infringement?) |

Headstock came out real nice, Rick.
I say stay away from anything with "caster" in it.
How about naming it in tribute to Andy, Dick, Kelii and Sol? Hmmmm. (Or how about Dustpan or DustyPan?) |

| I'm with the family, Rick. The classic "frying pan" look is hard to beat. Keep those photos coming! |

Rick,
Mighty fine stuff. Kudos.
I occasionally wondered ...and now seems opportune to ask if you might know: Might Alumalloy work as a pit filler ...worked in with a butane torch ...and if so is Alumalloy softer than casting alloys, for easier buffing?
If not, then might silver or silver solder work as a filler, softer than the casting alloy?
Thank You,
Aloha,
DT~[This message was edited by Denny Turner on 11 July 2004 at 07:40 PM.] |
