Hey Everyone! It's that time of year again for the biggest sale of the best online music lesson site on Earth, Artistworks! I LOVE these guys, I take classical guitar lessons and violin lessons here with two amazing teachers that I could never afford irl. There are hundreds of lessons in their online library from each instructor at which to learn at your own pace, and you can even watch every other students' lessons to watch them progress. The greatest feature is the one-on-one back and forth videos with your instructor!!! You send in a video of something you're working on or want to learn, the teacher watches it, then makes a response video with tips and direct instruction on what to do to improve to the next level!!! You can send in as many videos as you like - most people do once a week, but you can even do more. This method is revolutionary, second best only to private lessons that would run you $100+ per hour. The regular price is $279, but with their 50% holiday sale, the unlimited year long membership is only $140! They have world class teachers in almost every instrument (even voice) in every style - rock, jazz, classical, country, etc. Please check them out and support them. It is the perfect gift, especially since we're all locked inside, anyway. Sale ends soon. Don't just sit there this winter, become a musical god! So cool...

Finally pretty much done with my upcycle project. I chose to just go with a contact paper for the top and not try my hand at the epoxy. I decided I should try that on a practice piece first. Wife's happy, that's all that matters. Can finally use the stove without needing to pull a million things out first.

Another nice upgrade is new Formica / laminate....You can go right over the old laminate if there is any...and the only special tool you need is a router and a flush trim bit. I bought a cheapo ay Harbor freight as I use it rarely.

I re-did my buddies kitchen counter tops. They were in good shape but a 1970's green. I bought a 4' x 8' sheet of high end "granite" laminate for like $120, removed the sink, removed the counters from the wall, re-laminated them, and you would swear they are granite counter tops when you walk in the kitchen. It's actually a fairly easy, fun job (other than removing the sink). He had gotten an estimate for new laminate counter tops for $1,000 so he saved nearly $900 and they can't be told from new!!
