Fuck yeah.  Nice work Ldogg.  Love that pick table!

That fucking project took longer than I expected but I like how it came out.  Found a cheap table with a lip. Painted it. Glued down a fuckton of picks and then epoxied it in.  

Now i’m trying to figure out how to do the other side table.  May have to build a little frame for the album and epoxy that in and then screw it to the base from below.

Same auction place that's doing SRV's first pro guitar has a lot of vintage music posters on auction ending April 15th. I bet a lot of these will go for semi-affordable prices. I'm posting some that caught my eye.

I worked in a frame shop in high school and used to frame all my posters. They’re all at my parents house (assuming they haven’t been trashed after 20+ yrs) and I was thinking recently of getting them back. All the good ones are Pearl Jam. See if I can get pics.

Probably doesn't count, but here are a couple I made for King's X, unofficial street team posters, back in the day.

Definitely counts. I think I was at that Ogre Tones show. King's X has to be one of the best bands that never really made it big.

I posted a lot of mine on the old site but I’ll do it here too. Here are some of my faves. All from shows I attended

did you take these from @kmac30‘s parents’ house?

These are all waiting for frames.

Question. Why does every concert poster have to be some custom size so you can't just by a standard frame?

Anybody have a good source for frames? I've found a fee things online, but they usually end up near what a local shop could do it for. a1653af9b7e5e88616fbd761a7d69ed1.jpg

I do the build a frames at hobby lobby. Each piece come in 1” increments. With glass, it ends up being around $35 a frame. Amazon has odd sizes and they’re cheap but I haven’t pulled the trigger on any of those yet.
