Hello Peeps,
The time has come for me to join the Guitar Making Revolution ?. I've been following Mark since I saw his documentary film by Gordon Doherty about four years ago. I've been dreaming of building my guitar for the past fourty years but never had the opportunity, the knowhow or the nerve to do it. Watching that documentary and seeing the emotion and dedication that Mark puts into his passion for guitar making and teaching gave me the desire to try. Watching his recent YouTube Workshops during this Covid-19 lockdown has helped to reinforce that desire. Watch This Space. ??✌️?

Hi Russ
Welcome to the forum. I'm sure you will appreciate how much knowledge can be gained from Mark and this forum.
There are some very talented people frequenting it.
Good luck on your journey through the "Dark Art" of guitar making ?

Trying to make a living out of a hobby doesn't work 🙂

Thanks for the welcome Mike. It feels exciting and nerve-racking at the same time. ? ?

Hey Russ - happy to have you here! Let us know how we can help...
I would love to have a copy of that doc BTW...would be good to hunt it down...glad somebody saw it!
Hi Mark, Here is a link to your documentary. Hopefully it will work. I'm not very internet savvy. There is still a post on your Facebook site about it if you scroll back to December 2016.
Cheers,

It's a pleasure Mark. I had to get my kids to show me how to attach it. I think you should attach a link to it on Workshop Wednesday. It will certainly inspire others.
Cheers,
Russ.

Hi Mark,
Sorry, I forgot to answer your question. You're already helping a great deal. I'm going to sign up to your online courses. I'm busy with work until Sept-Oct but will hopefully get to your workshop course when they're up and running again as well. I'll be in touch.
Looking forward to Workshop Wednesday this afternoon. I'm on holiday this week and next so it will be the first time I can watch "Live". If I can figure out how to Live Chat I'll say hello.
Cheers,
Russ

Well Peeps the time has come for me to move on to the next stage of my guitar making revolution. After spending the last 3 months listening to all your advice on the forum and watching Mark on the Live Stream I've finally signed up for Premium Membership. I can watch you every day now Mark.........not meant to sound so creepy ? . Over the next few weeks or months I'm hoping to make the time to get started on making my first guitar ?. All advice welcome.
Cheers,
Russ ✌️???

All advice welcome.
Just jump in!
Mark’s courses are really well structured and easy to follow. And when you finish following them, you find - as if by magic - a finished guitar in your hands!
Then you start the next one. And the next one. And the ....
Enjoy!!!

@russ my first build is back to be set up and it still reminds me of following Mark’s tuition. It turned out great and I hope you have at least half the pleasure I had building mine as it was fantastic....
I have too many guitars...said no one in the world..ever!
