The talented one in the family

This is the blog of my younger brother and part time luthier. I've been trying to coax a bass out of him for at least 20 years but still only hollow things with 6 strings.

Hmm. I recon you should compromise.. a hollow thing with 4 strings maybe?
Or, a hollow thing with 6 FAT strings?

Either way, he's doing some great work and either of the above would be a piece to be really proud of.

Looks great, but maybe a bass is outside his comfort zone.
Depends how part time he is.... and whether he percieves a bodged attempt at a bass
might be a blot on his body of work..??
Or, he just doesn't have the time for a project he is not interested in..??

I'm the talented one in my family.

I once assembled an Ikea wardrobe.

Talent is an interesting concept!

I have one younger sister..... I have always been the creative one (music, acting, cooking etc) whilst she has been the intelligent thinking one. Also she has amazing talents when it comes to being a Mum, she is awesome and I don't know where she gets her patience, strength and energy from. So I look at my sister and think she is amazing and is a proper grown up.... Where as I am still an overgrown teenager mucking about!!
