Lack of Progress Report

[kiwigeo]

Nothing to offer from my part of the planet unfortunately. Work has gone crazy and I dont get much time in the workshop of late. Current projects are a classical going through an extremely difficult birth (problems with FP on the back), and a 6 string and 12 string Dreadie....the 6 string is undergoing FP and the 12 string is at neck construction stage (body done).


Cheers Martin

Martin, you have to get your priorities right!! Keep plugging, my friend, you'll have another fine instrument in no time.

Can't yell at you bro for what you are going through is just temporary and understandable due to work related reasons too but i'm sure we'll hear strings ringin' in no time in that great shop of yours.

Come on Martin, string 'em up already!

Martin my friend I can relate - when I find myself in a building rut I buy wood....... That usually reignites the spark in me to get into the shop and build........

Hesh mate, buying wood is adding to my woes. Shelves are full and now the stuff is piling up on the benches. Got 30 Englemann tops due in from Graham in Canada and also some booty from Tim "Mr Cool" Spittle.

Started a little repair job yesterday to take my mind off the PITA french polish job on the classical....am rejigging a right hand Ibanez acoustic for a left handed player. I cant believe the guy has been playing the thing for years and not noticed the intonation is way out....original saddle position is way off, someone must have had a hangover at the Ibanez factory the day they stuck the sadle in.
