Well I took 5 years off. Retired from by day job and moved to Bend Oregon. Finally back at building. It took a bit to get my new shop up and running. I have a commission to build but starting a new model to test everything out again. This one will an L-OO 12 fret. Slotted headstock. Flamed Mahogany back and sides. Bearclaw Sitka top. Somewhat like riding a bike but at times I forget my helmet or my bike shoes.

I forgot how to post pics on the forum!!!!!

Great stuff Andy, good to hear you're back to it.
To post images, if you look below the main frame for your post, there's a section where you chose your image file, then button on the right to add it to the post, but there is a limit to the size of the file.
I've used Paint app to resize the file in windows, or, even easier, Taptalk app on your phone allows images taken on your phone to be uploaded and resizes as you want automatically.

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Welcome Back Andy,

To add to what Colin said about uploading pics here using the forum.

Make sure you are using the full editor here. The "Quick Reply" is at the bottom of the forum page you are on. If you look you will see there is a choice to go to the full editor (At the bottom of the Quick Reply window). Then just go to the "Upload Attachment" and to "Browse" and go to the folder you have your image in and select it. It will let you know if if the image is too big.

As for resizing your images. 800 pixel width is a pretty good size to fit in the forum without having to scroll to see the whole picture.

Hope that helps,

Cheers,
Bob
