After many serious medical issues, heart attack & bypass. And 15-16 strokes. I'm returning to lutherie. I or my next of kin have been told I was going to die 7 times now. So I ignored them. Thank God my Sister wouldn't let them turn off the life support.

One problem is that the part of my brain that was able to play guitar is now non-functional.

But I'm learning how to walk again. I figure I can relearn guitar too.

Lots of new names here, and some old ones that might remember me.

It's good to be back!

Welcome back Paul good to see you again! Sounds like you've had/got some challenges but way to go pushing forward through them!
I hope we all can have that kind of drive.

10 years, long time no see, and what a time you've had!
Makes my series of 4 or 5 T.I.A.s (ministrokes) pale into insignificance.
Good to hear you've recovering and coming back to building - I'm sure you'll relish it.

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.

Thanks everyone for the welcome back.

One of the important (to a guitar maker) is the loss of fine motor skills. But that's improving slowly. Anyway, thats what jigs are all about.

Thanks again,
Paul
