Hi Steve,
When I first reread this thread I thought the same thing, but hesitated to post that question. We do tend to be an older group and some have moved on in one way or another. If you don't try to actively sell your work it may come down to "how many guitars can you eat?"

People lose interest and move on. Some of these folks have passed RIP. And some make the jump to being commercial and find in time it's not for them. Lots of reasons and it's always been like this on the OLF.

We have far more past members than active members if you look at the member count on the index page that's a far cry from perhaps 200 active members at any given time. The 200 number is a guess I have no data just 18 years of hanging out here.

I had two other OLF IDs before this one going back to 2005 - 2006 ish. One hit 10,000 posts before I changed to this one.

This is mine now, nothing fancy.
Created in Word IIRC
I print 8 to a sheet with an inkjet on colored (buff or cream etc.) card stock.
Stuck on with TB original, diluted with water, maybe 20%.

(EDIT - email address now deleted form image)

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Colin, that’s a great idea to put the contact email on the label. Will take some of the mystery out 50 years from now. :)

At my age, they'll have a hard job getting a reply in 50years.
