I'm finishing up an amp and started the board for another. Created the board and soldered the power filtering in.

More work on the maple/sitka acoustic with the blue marlin inlaid fingerboard...this weekend I pore filled the mahogany neck with Z-poxy and just sprayed my first sealer coat of shellac to get ready for top coats on the body...

I'm also in the process of making a brace cutting jig for my CNC machine....trying to make that whole process more efficient. Sometimes I think jigs & strategy sessions are half the fun..

Lying on the floor, watching football and browsing the net, as I nurse the worst back pain of my life. 4.5 days on the floor. [uncle] Its getting better, just in time to get back to work tomorrow.

Sorry to say that I just got back from taking the wife to emergency. Her back has flared up again, and after two weeks of waiting on her hand and foot and her so doped up that she really had lost all reality, I finally convinced her to go.. She's going to spend a while in the "Krankenhaus". We both can finally get some sleep.
On the plus side, I got the ductwork for the exhaust on my Grizzly spray booth out the basement window. Ordered the duct for the makeup air for the room.
Dead tired and goodnite... [xx(]

Built another small set of storage shelves for the shop to fit in the nook between the dust collector filter and the wall. Re-plumbed the outlet for the dehumidifier. Continued cleaning stuff out of the shop that I don't need. I still have a lot to do but the place is getting more livable all the time.

Sanded drywall cement in the basement. Can you sense my joy and excitement? No you can't because I have none.

Sorry to hear about the back pain with some people. I know that pain. It sucks.

Just received most of the materials I'll need to finish up a Padauk/Engelmann Drednought. Can't decide between herringbone purfling or BWB though.

A bit of rock and fossil hunting in southern Oregon...managed about 700-900 miles this weekend! Got some neat stuff, but ready to get back into the shop after work tonight.

I spent a wonderful weekend with Tony McManus, Al Petteway, Paul Reed Smith and 12 other guitar nuts at Tony's guitar weekend in Elora Ontario. We ate, drank and played guitars for 2 1/2 great days. Tony taught two of his Celtic tunes
and Al taught "Land of the Sky" and "Desert Dance" and I got a little help with my rendition of Al's "Sligo Creek" which needed a quite a bit of tweaking. Paul mostly spent the weekend hanging out with the group and imparting a little of his secrets of success and how he plans to revolutionize the acoustic guitar. Tony and Al did a really good acoustic fingerstyle concert on the Saturday evening with Paul joined them on a few tunes doing some Carlos Santana style improvising playing of course a PRS electric through a PRS amp.

I took the last 2 guitars I completed with me, Tony and Al played them and had kind words, I just wish they sounded half as good when I play them.
