Hi everybody.
I am from Slovakia (small country in the middle of Europe) so please excuse my english.
I would like to ask you about any ideas or suggestions how to get into Luthiery bussines.
I m 30years old and I have been doing guitar repair job for about 3 years.
I m self taugt, learning from books, videos on the internet, learning on scrap guitars and so on.
I live in a small town (about 50 000 population) and most of local musicians know me as a "guy who can fix your guitar", most of the time I am doing refret job and broken pegheads, necks, bridges etc, so sometimes I make some money which I mostly spend on new tools in my small shop.
Actually I wish to move my skills further and slowly start to build guitars.
I was thinking about some school of luthiery but soon I realized that I just can t afford it because in my country is just impossible to make such money with honest work
Would be amazing to learn from proffesional so I am trying luck on this forum. I was thinking maybe I could find somebody here, who needs some help in his shop so I could reach more experiences. Really I would be grateful for anything, I could start with sweeping floor in your shop, anything, just to get in touch with this beautiful craft.
I just cannot give up my dream
Thank you for any ideas
Have a nice day
