I've built two classical/flamenco guitars with Robbie in his class at the community college. I signed up for a third tour of duty, but yesterday I dropped the class (sorry Robbie!). I figured heck, I've done it twice with supervision, what's the point of paying money to do it a third time? That's money that could be used on tools!!! It might take me longer (it took me most of the night last night to hand cut my wedge slots for the ribs in my neck, and it's still not right), and be more frustrating (because I have to figure out how to fix my mistakes myself!) but it was time to cut those apron strings loose. I don't really know what my point is or why I'm sharing. I guess to say, I might be hanging out around here some more for advice and help. And Robbie, you can't say good riddance and sigh relief just yet ![]() ![]() ![]() |

PS, I know I never, ever, would have finished one guitar, much less two, if it wasn't for Robbies class. To all you that started and finished on your own, my hat's off to you. |

I say Good on ya Man! Robbie sure is a fine teacher and his shop must be equipped with tons of great tools which makes it difficult for someone who's in the learning process to leave that comfort zone, i gotta give it to you, you sure are bitten hard and you will succeed! ![]() ![]() ![]() |
