This is your day job right? You and Dave spend twenty hours a day in the shop cranking out these beauties right? Or did Hesh send you some of the Heshtone fairies?

Remember to leave a bit of drink out for them too. You don't want to find they have turned on you. Could get ugly real quick.

There's another 6 in the shed in various stages of construction. Most need binding, finishing and necks.

We have been building in batches of 5, so there were 5 O-18's and 5 dreadnoughts on the go at the same time.

The two twelve strings have been a work in progress that started about a year ago.

Over the past 5 weeks it's been 3 days a week and some nights trying to get these ready for the festival.

I'll be looking forward to slowing down after next week.

Here's some pics of the other ones under construction.

Goncalo Alves/adi O-18

Sassafras/Engelmann O-18

Maple /Sitka O-18

Walnut/Cedar Barge Arse

Sassafras/Lutz Dreadnought

Tiger Myrtle/Adi Dreadnought
