So I cleaned out my tiny shed, bought some templates, bought some tools and wood and started. I made many mistakes (and still do) but one learns from his mistakes, so over the years I've learned a lot!

I did exactly the same thing @marcel, I cleared out my garage and kitted it out with tools for guitar making. I is a struggle to keep it all tidy and it’s been a real mess at times but I still manage to build guitars. I also continue to make mistakes but I like to think I learn from them and don’t make the same ones again. Nice Tele build too, love it! 

It's not an identikit, off a production line, mass produced thing that you can pick off any shop wall.

Something handmade will always have little features, all part of the uniqueness.

But as I said one learns from his mistakes.

I know that feeling well @marcel

That Tele build looks to have turned out pretty well though!

 I gave this guitar to my second cousin Koen, who has Down syndrome and loves music.
