Hello from the NE PA forest

Greetings all,
Setting up my shop and gathering tools. It took 50 years to get to this place.
My first repair in 1976 was on a girlfriends Gibson acoustic. I repaired the bridge that had pulled off and decided to refinish the guitar. Bad idea, since I used my mother's oil painting stuff to create a sunburst and then covered it with varnish. Although it was not even close to the factory sunburst, looked pretty cool to me. The now ex-girlfriend never spoke to me again.
Here we are today, and I am in progress with a 000 kit. My plan is to attend a hands-on building class this winter.
Great to be part of this.
