I just saw Hesh's new web site. Pretty cool with tons of good info and I guess all of his tutorials.
Another great resource.
Thanks Hesh for making this available.

It certainly does! Maybe it should be considered a compliment! Did you design your own template, or use a package template?

Great site, Hesh! Super informative. Doesn't have the vibe of a commercial or boutique site, but the information is definitely there. I have a feeling I'll be there often!

Thanks Link! :D

Hi everyone - my new site has 24 or so of my toots up and available and more will be added as I have time. Some of you have requested these from me over the past couple of years so I am very happy to have them up again. More than half of them were not available for the last several years so this is an improvement.

Haans nice site!!! :D Rapid Weaver and one of the standard 40 templates eh? Macs rule!!!

Here is a direct link to my toots page and as always I hope that some of these toots will be of value to you folks.

Take care

UPDATE: Thanks James bro - we were posting at the same time. Thanks for your very valued comments James. My intention was for my site to not be commercial although once in a while I plan on throwing up a guitar or two for sale.

Very nice site, Hesh! Lots of good stuff and quick response times. You've been keeping your head down - busy I'm sure. Hope you are well.

Thanks guys! :D

I'm nearing the end of my two year apprenticeship and have repaired more guitars than I want to think about this early in the morning. My own repair biz in my area is doing great too and growing every week.

James WB bro give me a call! This week is art fair week so you are fortunate to not be in A2 this week.... gaah :D

Thanks again everyone! :)

Hesh good to hear you're almost finished the apprenticeship. How do you like working full time with instruments? What percentage of your time is devoted to building ? I would also echo the comments by others re your new web site. [clap] [clap] [clap] Hope you can still find the time to drop by the forum.

Regards
Craig.

Hi Craig my friend! :)

How do I like working full time with instruments? I love it and this is exactly why I made some huge life changes to get here. I typically don't build in the summer anyway wishing to be out under the big light playing golf and now fishing... But I am still building.

I hope that all is well with you too.

That's great Hesh. Sounds almost like paradise to me. bliss .I think there are great rewards to be had from taking calculated risks in life. I have thought about doing something similar down the track, however I find repairs to be a real struggle . Strange because I have been doing elect repairs and maint happily for many years . idunno .Anyway all the best to you and look forward to seeing some more beauties from the Heshtone shop.

Regards
Craig
