Well folks, I may have only had Adventures of Big ‘K’ for a little while, but it’s time for another move again. This time it’s gonna be a good one. Yep “Adventures of Big ‘K’ ” will turn into the Abbott Family Blog. At AFB, not only will you get my quips and quotes, but also you will get to hear what’s goin’ on with the rest of the Abbott family. Quadruple the Abbott intake in one blog! What could be better than that?
So, when you are ready to get more Abbott, hop on over to www.abbottfamilyblog.com
Boy, blogging has been on the back-burner, hasn’t it. Well, there just hasn’t been much happening out of the ordinary. Most of the day is spent in the shop finishing up the shamisen. All the pieces are finally made after 6 months, now I just gotta put ‘em together.
For the past month, I’ve been carving out the Tenjin (headpiece with the square whole in the middle as you can see)
Then, two days ago, I whipped up the Itomaki (I.e, tuning pegs). Boy, nice to be able to make some shamisen parts that take less than a month to make.
Even though most of my time has been taken up with that, a few interesting things have cropped up here and there. . .
