The area I live in is gorgeous, so I look for the best ways to steward it and to help my neighbors. I founded Friends of Road 4109 to rebuild a forest road. I draft civil engineering plans for developers and small businesses. I am studying land surveying. And I am raising several boys with my wife Lynae. I have found my way out of a porn addiction through Celebrate Recovery
I made my cigar box guitar back in 2015. I asked a friend for the cigar box. The neck is a piece of oak that a cabinet maker gave to my Dad. We had a small stack of them when I was growing up and we always used them as swords. Anyways, it goes all the way through the body, being screwed to the top of the box. The bridge and nut came from a bolt that I cut in half. They were glued in place, but the glue has broken loose so now they float under the strings. I took the tuning machines from a 1/2 size kids guitar that was coming apart. I disassembled a Radio Shack piezo element for the pickup. But I don't plug it in very often.
For $200 I would buy materials to build a j-tube rocket engine. For $1000 I would get fencing for the property so that we could keep livestock and retire some lawnmowers.
Hey Nick, thanks for keeping us in the loop! All those animals must have enjoyed the pond while it was there. The sneak peek of your rebuild is really intriguing.
