I live in Maine. posting.php?mode=post&f=51#

I've wanted to build a guitar for years, but never quite managed to actually get started. A few years ago I met luthier Carter RUff, the man behind Subterranean Music Works http://www.submusicworks.com in Bath, Maine. In what may have been a weak moment he agreed to teach me to build a guitar. After he agreed to do it, I began to have doubts and decided a warm-up project might be advisable. I built a mountain dulcimer. It came out quite well.

I'll describe the guitar build under a more appropriate topic.

I've done machine shop work as a hobby for years, but complex woodworking is something new for me. I do have a lot of experience with hand tools, which helps. My grandmother would describe my woodworking skill as "a good barn carpenter." My level of woodworking is getting upgraded considerably!
