Dick. Great looking. Have you ever tried to iron a Laser printout. You are suppose to put it ink side down and run over it with a hot iron and the tiner will transfer to the other surface.

from one old geezer to another, I have to say you’re sure doing some nice work there Dick. Very nice looking harp and I’m really looking forward to the celtic carving. Your lucky that your wife orders things from you. I think my wife is afraid to order from me because of the fear that I will disappear into the workshop and not be seen again. At least for a long while. Thanks for the very interesting blog.

Dick, this looks pretty good. Putting your “special touches” on the kit certainly takes what was a nice present for Barb and makes it a unique and heartfelt gift that I know without a doubt she will treasure.

And, of course, she should always get whatever she wants. After all she has had 58 years to train you. :)

I am looking forward to seeing the finished harp.

Like me you don’t wander too far these days heck if I go into town for an hour to the lacal supermarket that’s a day out for me these days. Having said that I have been invited to Germany again and again over the last 6 years or so I keep making excuses truth is it’s all abit too daunting but in a moment of weakness I decided to cave in and promised to go next year with my sone and his wife and my wife and their son our little grandson I liveed there and worked in a large dental practice for five years I still speak the deutsch pretty well even after thirty years away from it although I did it also at university level so it will be nice to try it agin and see my old friends August a nd greta and family take car if you do decide to come to Scotland we would make you most welcome.Alistair

Thank you Jennifer,

Barb can hardly wait to start strumming on her Harp.

I just came in for lunch, I was out on the deck carving on it.

Barb has been sitting on the swing supervising, & taking pictures.

Great looking project you have going there. Can’t wait to see it done.

Thank you Jerry,

I have never bought anything in kit form before, so it’s a new experience for me.

Though I have made model airplanes from a kit when I was a boy.

You are an old softie Dick but I am sure Barb is well worth it. Looking good.
