Unproductive Weekend
I attended a mandolin workshop Saturday 12-3, then my band had a gig Saturday night, and today (Sunday) I met my folks for a few hour visit as they were passing through on the way to visit my grandmother in Virginia Beach, so I didn't really get anything done, except what you see here in the picture. I had a coupon for Lowe's that expired today, so I bought a 36" oak dowel that's 1 1/4" in diameter, some 1/4" x 5" long carriage bolts(18 count), a box of washers, and a box of wing nuts. I now have 18 spool clamps like they sell in the Stew Mac catalog, for a good bit less money. They did take a few hours to make, however.
