First kick for the Seattle Sounders and John Gorka at the Triple Door! Both events will be great fun. In the shop I'll be gluing the braces on my latest, which is another 12-fret variation of a J-45, this time with Sitka over cherry. |

Funeral this afternoon, and then watching the Wichita State Shockers dismantle all comers at the Arch Madness tourney in St. Louis. And still working out all the bugs in my solidbody mandocello conversion. |

Out to see a movie with friends tonight (12 Years A Slave), shop time tomorrow (hopefully complete a finish repair and glue a bridge on #2), Sunday morning is bootcamp gym, and the afternoon will use a Christmas gift certificate for a 90 min massage in a fancy spa. |

I'm building a copy of the Stew Mac neck removal jig, testing out my newly made steam needle, Attachment: Steam Needle.jpg and cleaning up the mess after telexing my Champ 5F1 amp cabinets. Actually if I'm lucky, I'll get the cleanup done. |

It was fun at school when my growth spurt came earlier than my peers, and I could bowl them out of my way, but I wouldn't be so keen on playing it now!

Good grief, is it another weekend again? Not having a M-F 9-5 really wreaks havoc on the significance of any particular day beyond rent day. I think I'll get a haircut then carve more necks.... |

Need to finish the shaping and headstock of my second electric and make parts for a virtual guitar in my solidworks class at school. Going to be busy! |

I always plan on more than I get done, but at least I don't run out of stuff to do. Luthier wise I'll like to repair the finish on the top of recent build where I pulled the bridge (slightly off center) and then reglued; set up and string up this one and one other that I just finished. Get brace wood cut for next couple and cut sound holes in two tops I prepared. Not guitar related, but a wood working project - Hope to round up some nice boards for a wood-strip kayak I've been wanting to make. I got the hull profiles attached to the strongback and painted this week, and would like to have 1 or 2 kayaks ready for this summer when the grandkids get out of school. I know there are a couple of boat builders on this forum and if you have any suggestions please PM me. Haans, I agree with Nick, your purfling is awesome. |

Working on my first commission. A friend hired me to build an OM, curly walnut b/s, Lutz top, curly maple binding. Can't say I'm making much money off of this but for the first time someone else is paying for materials. |
