New member, thought I'd introduce myself. I bought a couple Martin reject part kits from a guy in Pennsylvania, probably not the best choice, but all in all, I think I'll end up with a couple nice ones. My first, a D style is mostly done. I French Polished her and she's waiting for her final sanding/polishing. Seems like I've been working on her for ever, but I think it's been about 2 months. Meanwhile I'm almost ready to glue the back on my next one, a cutaway D.
Mr Corey's book has been invaluable, as has this forum and of course YouTube.
