I have been pulling together bits and pieces and some tools (I have some hand me downs from various places) to build a 7 string 27" scale guitar (I can hear the groans of 'Djent' from here) to go alon...

That is so true - I used to "finish" a build, plug it in to make sure all was working, and then think job-done. Recently I've been going to back to some of my earlier builds (the ones that I hadn't ...

@rathius Good for you man, sounds like you had a great day. Can you tell us if you enjoyed the whole episode or not, it didn’t quite come across in your post! 😆 I felt the same way when I met...

Me too. I’ll let y’all know when the raffle goes live. Waiting for the hospital in Glasgow, KY to launch the marketing for it. I hope it raises a ton of money for them. I know it would be because of B...

@robin yeah Glasgow is their last stop this tour. They wanted to come back over to y’all and do a smaller venue tour just for a short 3 week jaunt around the British isles. Dublin last night I think. ...

Oh yes please, very much please. I'll never have the skills, nor even understand half the techniques, that you're learning and applying, but it's really interesting to see the updates and what you go ...

So I am happy to announce that I passed my 'exam' yesterday and I have started building my first lute as part of module 2 of the course. This 2nd module will most probably span more then one year agai...
