Very pretty, Tom, and a most creative use of a Weber. I'll bet that baby
smokes when ya play Bluegrass on it! Dueling Dobros might be fun, too.

However, it should be pointed out that this is NOT a binaries group!

No, this is not a binaries group, nor did he post any binaries. SURELY
you are not suggesting that you want this group modified so that he
cannot post a link to a website.

No link posting?

Even the worst of the meanest most petty groups see allow that...

Actually, he did post a binary. Looking at the source that ended up on the
server I access (as if just seeing the picture of said dobro wasn't enough
g ) I find "begin 666 dobro_q.jpg" with a bunch of binary after it to
comprise the picture. Perhaps the administrators of the news server you
access stripped the binary. That's been known to happen.

All I see is a message from Kevin quoting a poster from some
other forum.

Close. I quoted a paragraph from a web-based discussion forum at
http://www.mimf.com/archives/homebuilt_resonator.htm and added the
text "Scroll down for a picture of the Dobro-Q," meaning "Go to that
webbage and scroll down."

As far as I can tell, the OP didn't even post here.

Yup.

It appears that Kevin tried to add a picture - but I don't think
he did or would do that.

Nope. Didn't try, wouldn't try. I haven't a clue who Cramer thinks
he's talking to about binaries, or why the subject line of his post
("Weber Dobro") differs from the subject line of my post ("Dobro-Q
from a Weber Kettle").

Most likely has something to do with that imaginary killfile he's so
proud of but which doesn't seem to work very well.

OK, here is the way it happened.
Kevin post a message that said he made a Dobro out of a Weber Kettle. Had
a link. When you went to the site there was a picture of a Dobro made from a
Kettle. BUTT Wilson did not build it.
Then along comes a post from Tom with the message saying he made a Dobro
and it had a picture of said Dobro. Then Nick compliments him on his
endeavor and reminds him that this was not a binaries group. Then folks
chastising Nick for the reminder and so on and so on.
To all doubting Thomas' there was a picture

Outside the quotes you put this:

"Scroll down for a picture of the Dobro-Q."

Yeah, I can see how that might be confusing. I meant, "Go to the
webbage at the end of that URL (pronounced 'Earl') and scroll down to
see a picture of the Dobro-Q."

BS

No it wasn't. It had a picture. A binary picture. In a text only
newsgroup. Binaries *DO* show up on some news servers, some strip them
out. People that subscribe to news servers that *ONLY* provide text-only
posts *do* strip them out. Some other news servers do, some don't.
Mine, Nick's, and Big Jim's obviously didn't since we got the
picture/binary from "tom".
but you knew that. ;-)

I recently finished a "Dobro" Made from a Weber barbeque. I hand
carved a maple neck and made the sound well out of bendy board. The
top is solid spruce and the hardware is all standard dobro that I

It sounds great and will actually be played by a friend in concert

I won't insert the binary of dobro_q.jpg, but it was--and is--in the
