WebFreeman Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 She's starting to have a little faith in me. The privacy fence I built last summer hasn't fallen over yet, so that's good. I told her I build her some board and batten shutters that are so trendy right now and some flower boxes. In all seriousness, what kind/how much wood did you get? I've been wanting to do this for years. “Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.” — Henry David Thoreau Visit my web site @ webfreeman.com for information on freelance web design.

Terry Beeson Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 OK, GF... you can build me one of those... You'll appreciate this one.... I was in Boyd Music Store in Little Rock one day and got to talking to Mr. Boyd about bluegrass. He told me that he was backstage one time when Bill Monroe was doing a concert (in Barton I think) and Bill broke a string on his mandolin. He asked for someone to replace the string, and Mr. Boyd walked out and took it backstage to put the string on. He said he layed it up on a table, and started to take the bridge out. When he pressed his thumbs down to get the strings to relax, he realized just how super paper thin the face of that mandolin was. Now you have to realize that Bob Boyd played mandolin and probably had a couple of thousand or more in his hands at one time or another. He said this was the absolute thinnest he had ever come across. Well, he proceeded to loosen the other strings, THEN take the bridge out, replace the string, tune it, and took it back out to Bill. He said he asked him about that later, and Bill told him he had his own specs for the thickness of the face... and yes... it was "paper thin..." however thick that was... Said it was "key" to the Bill Monroe sound... Bob indicated he estimated that event took at least five years off his life... but was thankful he didn't break it and get his life ended immediately...
