Subject: RE: Tech: 19th Century Capo; The 'Choker'
Thanks for that tech tip on the link, Geoff; it seems to help.

When I tried it I got to my "Guitar" page, which was blank for some reason. But when I hit the sub-file "19th Century Parlor" link over on the left hand side of the window, that opened up with all of the thumbnails of the images therein. Just click on a thumbnail pic to see enlarged image. As far as I know I have left this page open to the public so feel free to browse.

When I went to the bottle redemption place to cash in my bottles today, I noticed a bunch of fiddle patterns and panels hanging up in the rafters out back. Turns out the old guy builds fiddles in his spare time, and is into "Old Country" of the 1930-50s era. He pulled out his old fiddle and sawed out a couple of tunes, and when I told him about my project he gave me a bunch of old pegs which ought to finish up my other "chokers" quite nicely.

Goes to show ya; ya just never know!

I'll have to get a proper tapered peg hole reamer though.
