Here's a quick update of a short bit of progress on the graduations.

The top was a bit closer to the bottom of the holes, less material had to come off. So I used a finger plane.

The back on the other hand had a considerable amount of material that had to come off, so I roughed it with the arching gouge first, and then fingerplane.

John, from what I hear you get patience with age, and then you lose it, again with age.

So maybe I'm just reaching my peak, and it will fall off by my 30's and 40's. Lol

MY wife always say patience is a virtue. I always say patience is a waste of time.

So, my big brother was playing guitar and I figured I'd try it too.

Dan, I think this is more than a project for you, it is a life long event!! Just kidding of course. How do you work on so many projects at the same time?

Well you see Kevin, I've got this disorder that convinces myself that I absolutely need to start another instrument.

With that said, I've got 4 acoustics, a cello, a violin, and some electrics in the works. Once I get caught up, and everythings finished, I promise I'm going to reconsider and rework my approach to taking on builds :P
