Hope you used shellac on the inside of that box. Those stains are hard to get out!

Love it! Congratulations my man, I'm right behind you. Mine is due to be done in 3 weeks and two days (or sooner). It is the greatest thing in the world! Now I wish I had a box ready to steal that photo idea.

Congratulations!! I don't have a newborn but I do have an 11 year old who is lobbying me to build him a guitar once I have my first build complete. I think this is a request I'll be happy to oblige.

Thanks guys. My wife and I are super proud. He has some very active low end. Currently the mids aren't real present and the highs are a bit shrill, but I have high hopes for the tone once it settles in a bit. laughing6-hehe

Congratulations, Chris! Great photo, too.

I'm in the same boat as Bryan. My third child is expected in around 4 weeks.

As far as building time goes, I have to keep building just to keep my first two happy! My older son already has a nylon-string guitar, and now wants a lap steel, because he can't reach the pedals on my pedal steel. My second son is quick to point out any musical instrument he sees, and I have a hard time keeping him away from my guitars and mandolins, and especially the pedal steel. That's just too tempting for words.

Oh, and they are only 4 and 2 years old. I can hardly wait until they're a little bigger!
