A great thread indeed...thanks for the wealth of information. Looking forward to future chapters!

WOW...a truly special guitar along with an irreplaceable tutorial from having looked at Dave's build notes. I too am just beginning a Coco build that I had deferred for some time in light of both the adhesion and health issues. I have decided to use my standard adhesives and methods and see how it h...

Great piece, Colin! Please be sure to publicize the CD's release!

Bob...good start on what will surely be a killer axe!

My vote is for the blue tint on the top only...with curly maple bindings.

I am also keen to now if you think building an electric with so many bits of wood makes it sound different to one...

Here are just a two of the more recent electric instruments I have made over the past few years. The attention to detail is no less demanding as is the necessity for precision in meeting a demanding customer's expectations.

Welcome Steve...glad you made it here!

Hey...you guys remember that epic farting thread back on the OLF when we were all so "immature and insensitive?" :roll: I believe it may yet hold the record for the most pages used on a single thread. I'm so happy you have gotten more sophisticated with your smarty farty emoticons. Now that's class!...

Nice progress, Heshie! Looking forward to seeing this one finished for sure. See if you can arrange that before the snow flies in A2!

OOPS...I just realized that I should have posted this in the "Anything Goes" category with the rest of the new arrivals. Nonetheless...Thanks for the warm welcome and best wishes for a successful forum.

Dudes...and Dudettes! Thanks to Hesh, I finally got around to taking the time to check out the site. I heard that brother Serge was in the house and just had to make it to the party. Congtratulations are in order, Bob. Good luck on the site...I'll be sure to catch up on the news and views. Best wish...
