First build. I haven’t posted in a while, but I’ve been busy. Much of my time is spent building jigs (which I enjoy), reading, and watching a lot of videos. Especially Blues Creek videos. Thank you so much, John, they are soooo helpful!
Here’s some pictures of where I am now. Started in August-2020. The box is closed. I have the end wedge to put in and some sanding and filling of tear out on the back to do.
Right now I am in the middle of building a jig to route the binding and purfling.

Now you’ve done it! :-)
Progress is progress, even if it takes a while.

Beautiful. Really clean and neat. We've seen the rosette before but it's worth cheering again. Nice rosette!

Thought I’d share where I am with my first build. I just glued the neck on. As with just about every step, I was really nervous about it. Seemed to go well. Been waiting a long time for this. Next, I’m on trying to learn yet another skill – leveling and shaping the frets.
