The Craftsman's Path #30: Looking ahead - How about lutherie?

Good luck Mark – both at making the guitar and not having to buy new tools! If the guitar turns out as nice as your table—- you’ll have a bragging piece.

-- Betsy - GO BUCKS!

Looks like a challenge that you’re up for!

That’s on my to do list one of these days – but I think I’ll go the electric route.

Thanks for the encouragement guys & gals. I’m looking forward to the new challenge.

Betsy – You could be right about the battle with new tools but, I guess that battle would not be so painful to loose ;-)

I am going to build a guitar from a kit soon. I started a site to sell guitar stands but haven’t worked out the legalities on my stands so I have listed a few guitars and what I think are great priced guitar kits but have along way to go to finish site. These kits are not as in depth as the one you have listed, more for beginners.

When you get a kit finished let me know Mark I would like to link to it.

You are going to love it, but you will suffer through some frustrations, too. Just keep building parts. Here is one I posted.

Rikkor,

I think seeing your posting originally pushed me over the edge to finally get moving on this. Thanks for the nudge!

By the way did you finish the Parlor Guitar? I’d love to see some completed pictures.

I haven’t worked on it for a while. There were the Christmas projects, Easter, the challenge, and the pen swap all getting in the way. Soon, I hope.
