Congrats Brad, it looks really nice. I have a rock wall just like that in my house! I've been tempted to take pics like yours to see if we could start a trend:). |

Beauty. I am at 87 with a goal of 100 before I croak. That is a big accomplishment. Do you ever feel like you know less now than you thought you did at 50? |

Yes- I still surprise myself at the stupid mistakes I make..... No- I finally don't have to figure out what the next step is. I have a procedure for every step.... I didn't have this method at 50 so I lost a lot of time "reinventing the wheel" so to speak. I also have many jigs that speed the process. some are very simple like a piece of sandpaper glued to a large piece of plywood that I use to fair down the lining to the sides. So in summary a guitar that took me 100 hours at guitar #50 now take me 60 hours at #101 |

Congratulations, Brad. That's a major milestone. Guitar looks like a fine instrument, nothing flashy, by a mature builder. |
