I'm about 2 hours north in Illinois and like the idea, but not sure yet about the date. You won't leave without some wood. I've been there once.

I'll check back in.

I spoke with Jerry about Number of people and he suggested that people could bring a friend if they are into wood working as well . Somthing to think about .. Keep checking back.

Already mentioned in an email to Jim, but it occurs to me that we should discuss demonstrations on the forum here :)

I'd be happy to do one. Probably inlay, since I've done quite a bit of it, it wouldn't take too long, and doesn't require having a guitar at a specific state of progress. Maybe do one step of a multi-part design... actually the rosette for my next one (no circles involved!) would be a very good example, with both wood and shell involved, and it would be easy to thickness the top and cut a few inlay pieces to get ready for it. But being a newbie, I'd probably do better to keep my mouth shut and ears open, so if anyone else has something more interesting, go for it.

What I would most like to see someone else demonstrate is brace carving/voicing, but that might be tough to do in an unusual environment. French polishing could also be good. Particularly the pumice pore filling stage.

Hello all, I'm brand new here. I live in St. Louis and am likely to attend (just need to confirm a potential conflict). I very excited to actually meet other builders. . . I know the idea of setting up demonstrations was kicked around, who is planning on dong something like this? I have no skills to demo, but would love to pick up some tips. . .

Hope to see you all there,

Bryan

I plan to attend. I would like to see some of your binding jigs, neck angle jigs, etc. I've yet to do a binding jig or a fretboard radius jig. Maybe someone could demo final set up.

I could volunteer a demonstation on how not to do something, poor work habits, unsafe practices, money management disasters, etc.

John Mayes, I wish you were making the trip. I've learned a lot from your DVD's. Maybe at future meeting we could host John and each of us pony up for a presentation to off-set travel expenses?

Thanks Wudwerker and Hibdon, see you on the 21st!

I am looking forward to the first St. Louis "Gathering". It will be nice to put together names and faces. I just want to say Thanks to both WudWerkr, for his efforts in planning, and Hibdon hardwoods for their hospitality. I could be the beginning of something special.

(the "Gathering" - a Luth-in around Hibdon's woodstock ...has a 60's ring to it)
