Been gone too long, what did I miss?

Hey guys and gals. . . it has been too long to suit my taste since I took time to log in. Life is amazing with its twists and turns. I am richly blessed but up to my eyeballs in change with which I do not typically deal well. Here are the highlights

  • My father pass in late September
  • I started a new relationship which whirlwinded to engagement
  • Decided to buy my father's house for many reasons and rent mine
  • Quit the Rock band I was in

That's the list that has kept me preoccupied for the last 3 months.

I left off with a nearly complete build, Project Copperhead. It needs some attention to be complete and pass my final inspection. There are only a couple of bugs. Visually, I like what I came up with. Functionally, it could use some tweaks!

IF things go as planned, I hope to get back to building under my new company name and am looking to build pieces which I will sell. I have designs and a commission to build a 6 string piccolo bass and it's twin. My father's house, which I am trying to close on has a dedicated 20X10 workshop area! I have no intention of starting a build unless/until I find out if that is where I will be living. My betrothed is generally in support of me continuing to build and one of her sons has an interest in learning and a greater interest in music. He's a drummer though. . .haha

My sincere hope is that many of you whom I have met and gotten to know here are well. I will check back as life allows.

Regards,
Brent
