Greetings from Iowa

Hello everyone!

I'm looking forward to being part of this community. I really enjoy seeing what others are doing.

I am a "hobby" luthier who mainly builds for family and friends.

Up until recently my previous guitars have been dreadnoughts but I'm currently working on two OM's.

Everyone I have made a guitar for knows it can take a while for me to complete the build but they can't really argue with the cost

Welcome! Relax, have fun. You'll find us very friendly and ready to answer any question. The only "dumb" question, is the one unasked.

Hey, I make them for a living, and it takes me a long time to complete one too. Quality over quantity! I'm sure your friends and family love the guitars that you make.

Where abouts in Iowa? Waaaay back, 40+ years ago, when I was active duty in the Air Force, I visited Iowa a few times. My ex was from Jesup, IA. I just made a trip across the great state of Iowa about 2 years ago, to go to O'NEIL, Nebraska, from my home in West Virginia. I crossed the State on US 20, so I got to see a lot of your state.

Welcome. Try to remember that there are no stupid questions. Just stupid mistakes because you didn't ask. You'll find people at many different stages of building. A lot of new people and some of us have been around a while, like fifty years.

Greetings and welcome to the forum. Sounds like you’ve made some sawdust. Good to have another mid-westerner on board!

Welcome! Like you, I am a casual builder, not for sale, and primarily gifts for family and friends. This is such a great hobby and the folks here are a great source of information.
Take care and enjoy the journey!
