Went yesterday to Gruyere (Switzerland) to eat a Fondue, we visited the HR GIGER museum (creator of the Alien creature), drink a beer to the GIGER bar (pretty amazing, it's like a spaceship inside) and then to Montreux to see the Freddy Mercury statue and the Queen museum also.

Wasn't be able to pass on the forum since a while, here's the reason why:

It's my new old '76 Honda CB550.

I had a lot of job to do on this one but i think it turned pretty great IMO

@Graham @Bailey Thank you guys for the service, as always I should say

@Alex Just an idea but why not create a new UHF model that combines the workshirt shape with the western snaps? This would allow you to avoid choosing between the 2 shapes for future collections. I'm sure there are many people who buy western shirts because they prefer the snaps.

Set the timing of my Italian Mini and give it a tour before the easter lunch

Bought these on Markkt, they are new, @Oaktavia you're right, the break in period will not be long as they fit almost directly like a glove, like i said on the black foot patrol topic, i wasn't be able to choose so i bought both and i don't regret it, they are incredible...

I bought it from @Heavy_blue and I must say guys, this jacket is a beast...
We talk a lot with Jeff and when he asks me if I was interested i said "arrf i already own a n1 jacket from Manifattura Ceccarelli which is really pretty cool". I thought about it a long time and i finally pulled the triger.
After some issues with DHL, the jacket arrives today and i don't regret it, this thing is twice heavier than the Manifattura Ceccarelli and surely some guys here can justify of the quality of the Italian brand.
Anyway another happy man

Since I wasn't able to choose, I bought both.

Here's a wallet I made for my brother:

It's fully handmade with shell cordovan from the japanese tannery "Leder Ogawa" as famous as Shinki Hikaku

Well guys, since it's the season and it's now ready, I present to you a really typical drink from my place, it is called "La chèvre" (The goat).

So it is a barrel preferably made of stainless steel but it can also be made of oak where we put fresh apple juice as well as spirits like rum, ricard, whisky and others ingredients (vanilla,caramel)... (each resident has their own secret recipe).

The barrel must be strong enough to withstand pressures of up to 15 bars.

The mixture builds up pressure and after 2 weeks/1 month at room temperature, it is finally ready. We then obtain a super compact mousse which must be drunk very quickly.

it's very nice after a good meal, especially after a good cheese specialty (like a raclette or a fondue).

Here's my barrel:

I really don't know why they still had this amazing shirt in stock but I'm really glad I bought it.
This shirt is a beast

Thanks to @BadWeatherCafe for everything.

Hi guys, it's been a while since I didn't post something so here's my '72 les paul deluxe conversion to humbuckers made a long time ago. I bought it in a really bad shape and since I'm an occasional luthier, i tried my best to give her a second youth. So here's the before/after

Before:

And after sanded it a lot to return to the original varnish, I put some Joe Bonamassa's SD custom shop pickup, some '59 parts, all the electronics redone also and now here it is.

It's one of those which when you try it it's like there's something special happening, so happy to have it in my collection, for sure the best guitar I ever owned.

Ahah nice ,

It is common where i live (the french alps) to have a special place to eat and have parties with my friends, family and i, it's called "Un Carnotzet" here's mine with differents walls of hard drinks:

Here's also another I bought 2 weeks before, a '78 Les Paul 25/50:
