That's pretty impressive Todd and I'm not trying to one up you here but this morning I single handedly took out an entire invading squadron of ants who were attempting to conquer my barbecue. I left a sole survivor though. He will be spreading the story amongst his ant buddies of the giant with the can of Raid who vanquished his platoon. I hope they try again. I love the feeling of an impending war. Makes you know you're alive.

Robbie,

I didn't realize the Romanillos class was still going on. I thought they quit when the Siguenza place became unavailable. Who's teaching it? Jose or Liam (both)?

Both are teaching and it will be in Siguenza again. It was not really advertised.

I know I'm just a n00b at this but this week I've been focusing on carving/sanding the laminated neck on my first build. There are many things I'd do differently next time - and not the unglued blank which I may apply those lessons to - but I'm excited that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Todd - glad to see you guys made it through the storms up there - we got hit pretty bad too - and got to host some inlaws without electric. Cookouts all weekend ! Lost of power outages surrounding us - we got lucky and were fine.


I got a chance to work on my mando building form.

Thank you, I got the Dyer style Symphony Harp Ukulele Plans‏ from Peter Howlett. http://petehowlettukulele.co.uk. I tried to find a link to the plans but his web site has changed. He has contact information on the site.

Robbie,

Thanks for sharing your Romanillos course and Spain experience. Seems like you had a great time and learned much from a true master.

Thanks,

Wow!!! Robbie that was great.

Can't wait to see your video/interview/binding by hand !!!

I thought Romanillos had quit giving classes?
When is the next one?
I need to go!
How do I find out about it?

Thanks for Sharing

Great blog! The photos of Madrid bring back memories - I lived there for 2 years in the '70s.
