it was on my working bench all that time cause I started to build it when #4 was finished, and also I sold #4 so I had more room , I took a little break from building steels cause I had a few medical problems but I feel fine and dandy now, I also done some major renovation to my house and studio the last couple of years that kept me busy and also doing gigs concerts, and studio work, I got almost all the parts done, I even made the front roller bridge, nut rollers and keyhead with my home made milling machine the only thing I haven't made yet is the tension springs for the changer but im hoping to get Bent to make me a shaft so I can make them the same size has he does, im ok for now cause I still have some left from the last order from Bent that he made 3 years ago for me, I don't work everyday on it like I use to cause im a grandfather now and I spend a lot of time with my grandson and he keeps me busy

, I've uploaded a few pics to show where im at with it right now and will keep updating this post until its finish, Bent...!, if you remember this is the steel that I wanted to stain red from the stain you've sent me...I don't know what kind of staining im gonna do yet, either all red or just the front and back, this steel has some nice birds eyed it should be nice when finished.
