On my next build, which will be a OM scaled up to 20 inches in length I thought I would build a neck block with an extension for the fretboard, and was wondering if any of you would be kind enough to share any thoughts of ideas on construction and size, I am also considering trying to build a completely bolt on neck as well and would appreciate in opinions on that too...
And on another note...Happy New Years to all...I started on , for me a Hobby, building guitars a year ago when I wanted a 000 size guitar and didn't want to pay the price for a Martin, Taylor , Collins, etc. and thought I would build one instead. What started as a Stew Mac kit, which was a fantastic kit, has now gotten me to , 2 completely built guitars, one other just needing buffing out , two with the boxes closed up, one is a 12 string I am building for a friend, one a Amazon rosewood OM, and another one started on for another friend who has wanted for years to get started building..along the way I have had a blast assembling jigs , adding to my tool collection and the like....so much for not wanting to spend the money!!!!!!
I think Fred mentioned he used to build competition Modlel Aircraft, I did that as well , building Pattern Planes in the 80,s and 90's , and racing planes , QM-40 and quickie's, loved those Nelson engines , and competed in many contests including two Nats..and since I have long gotten away from that sport, this Hobby for me has been a natural extension and keeps me more than busy..
So I thought after spending a year around the OLF I thought I would introduce myself on this New Years day and say thanks to all of you I have taken so much advice from.
