Gauging interest: An Official CB1100 Forum Calendar

dang....that's craftsmanship. i don't have any skill that comes close to that level.

He is really good! Perhaps this thread won't mind an off topic photo and short story. My brother Martin nearly died of covid back in July of 2020--7 weeks in hospital, 5 on respirator.

Unbeknownst to me, he had just started making the guitar in the photo when he got ill. While he was unconscious and having the machine breathe for him, one of my sisters would repeat to him over and over that he had to pull through because he had so many things and people to live for...one of those was the "birthday surprise" that he was making for his younger brother--me.

Recently, my son stopped by for my birthday--said he had a car problem that he wanted me to look at before it got dark. He opened the hatch of his car and told me to look at it to see if I could determine the hatch's problem. I played with it a bit, and told him it seemed fine to me. He told me to look closer, and that's when I noticed an unusual guitar case laying there. My son doesn't play...he just said "happy birthday, Pops, your brother sent this to me to give to you". Pretty cool...I think he deserves a calendar.
