Hi Guys, I am very sorry to report that my dad passed away on Friday, Sept 20th. He had just turned 90 on Aug 29th, and was enjoying building & using his little workshop off the kitchen until the end. He was working on making a folding pocket knife as his latest project, but wanted me to take over, learn to be a luthier and learn to build ukuleles, as you guys taught him, here via Luthiers Lounge. My Best Wishes to every one of you for openly sharing your knowledge. Ed Gilkison
