I took some decent photos of my Lap Steel, thought I'd post them. But I get a message that states "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached."
Thanks!

Rusty,
First make sure your photos are no larger than 800X600 pixels. Out of a regular digital camera they are huge, like 3 times that size, and the board will not accept them. You have to size the photo in an editor like Photoshop. I use the feature called: Save for Web
I believe you can do the sizing in other programs as well like the free one called "iView", and maybe even the photo program you get with windows
I am sure there are smarter photo editors here than me, so help us out here :-)

I am very happy with it and having a ball playing it! I'm working on sketches for my next Steel. Maybe one day I'll try my hand at a pedal steel!

Happy Steelin!

Hey Rusty, the pics look good and the steel looks mighty fine! I bet it sounds like a million bucks as well.

Thanks Bent Thanks Russ
I think it turned out ok it is challenge to play! I've been playing bass and guitar and other stringed things for over 36 years but it's like starting over at times. Been working on some George Jones songs and Hank's Hey good looking. Wayne Hancock has some great music to play along with too. The volume pedal helps soooooo much in getting a good steel tone.
Thanks for all your kind words.
I was eyeballing my wood rack thinking hard about the dbl neck 8 string I'm building next.
