, i am very fortunate to have such great forums like this one and also the SGF and good friends like you guy's to help me through my Pedal Steel venture, i have learned alot since i build my first PSG from members here and on the SGF and hope it will continue for a long time, wish i had this when i first started playing pedal steel almost 20 years ago 
... i probably would know alot more about pedal steel guitar , some of you already know i am in the process of building 2 more pedal steel but as time is hard for me this year i had to stall for awhile cause i'm a professional musician and it's been my bread and butter for the last 20 years and the work has been very slow this year but...i've got about 120 feet of some nice hard sugar maple wood plank drying and it's almost dry enough right now to start planning them, i've been having problems with my computers lately so i'm not online has often as i used to be but as soon as i restart my projects i will post pictures and some tips and method for making different parts, i'm hoping that Santa will bring me some new tools this christmas for making my new pedal steels 
.again... thank you all for all the tips and good advice and wish you all happy holidays.
