| Post subject: | Exiting lurker mode for an introduction . . . |
I've been a semi-regular reader of this forum for quite a few years, and since I am starting my first build from scratch, it's high time I at least post a short intro. I have one kit under my belt, and I have been slowly working my back through the archives absorbing as much as I can from all the great information found there. We will see if any of it sticks in my brain when I start asking questions. I currently have a Big Box special on the bench - HD maple for neck, Lowes spruce for bracing, mis-matched cedar top, etc. Just trying to develop skills without breaking the bank. Thanks to Todd Stock for the tutorials on building and using a shooting board. That shooting board, a tuned up Millers Falls #14 plane, and 10 minutes and I had done what I was sure was going to take me at least a day or two and a couple of sets of soundboards to get right. I really surprised myself. It's been said before, but I'll say it again . . . this is a great forum. You owners/moderators/contributors should be proud of yourselves. Not may places like this on the in-tar-webs. Keep up the good work! Back to lurker mode now . . . and time to go slot a fretboard. Stephen |

Welcome Stephen , Please post progress Pics . You will find that some of the pro's will look and maybe send you pm's with suggestions BEFORE u make a mistake . Also you might wanna be aware that , once you have left lurker mode , it is against the law to retreat back across the border with out proper papers and a lurker passport !
