I should mention that first picture Discussion Group shows us sitting around the heater in Pete's shed at the end of a Saturday afternoon on the tools, rugged up to the eyeballs on a typically wintry Albany day with the mercury hovering on 7 or 8 degrees and a stiff sou-wester blowing. But where would lutherie be without an ice-cold beer or three. Can be hard work at times, but someone's gotta do it .

Looks to be great fun guys. Pete's got a nice set up for having a group over. Hope to see it again one of these days.

Remember, it's not how good the instrument sounds. It's how many beers you drink.

Looks like a lot of fun gents.
