Hi everyone,
Over the years, this forum has grown into a special place—built on shared interests, mutual support, and thoughtful conversations.
It's been my pleasure to keep things running and create a space where we can all connect and learn.
Unfortunately, ad revenue has recently dropped below the cost of keeping the site up and running.
Hosting and maintenance carry real expenses, and I’ve been covering the shortfall—but it’s becoming unsustainable.

If you find value in this community and want to help ensure it stays online,
I’m kindly asking for your support through small monthly donations.
Even just a few dollars a month from a handful of members would make a big difference.

Please consider subscribing to our Patreon page and giving monthly.
This is the best way to assure the future of the OLF.

https://www.patreon.com/user?u=3700433&utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink

If you’d prefer to make a one-time donation, you can send it my PayPal at lance@kragenbrinkguitars.com.

There's no pressure—this forum will always strive to be a welcoming and inclusive space—
but if you’re in a position to chip in, your support would mean the world.

Thank you for being part of what makes this community great.

With appreciation,
LanceK

Thanks Lance - I am just getting back to building after raising a couple of kids and the duties that entails. I will donate and hope to look forward to more helpful info. I hope everyone else does their part as well.
