We all know how wonderful this site is for us to share our passion and help each other grow in our craft. Well for the third time this year I have deposited money in to the bank as a deposit on a commission build for client that found me solely through this forum. So you see this forum can help you grow in this craft in many ways Thanks Lance I got almost 1/2 my commissions this year thanks to the OLF

To me this just shows how affective the Luthier's Show Case could become if and when we get it off the groundMichaelP39038.8286921296

Actually this is the first time I have ever had more than a two guitar plus the one on the bench back log. But i am still going to stay with build one get it in the paint booth then build the next approch. I just like to build that way. making money is not at all my driving force.

i find the longer planes, a 6 or 7, too heavy, awkward and cumbersome for the task, and i'm not a small person. the 5 is my favourite.

the comments relating to having the plane tuned and working on a flat surface are all relevant.

in a pinch i have even clamped the two halves in a vise and jointed them.

Sorry to say Michael, but I think this belongs in a different post.

you mean people would bget the chance to see the builds without the benefit of selective photography & photoshop?

I'm glad it is good news. I was worried we were going to hear about unavailable funds after a legimate deposit. That thread touched a nerve with me. Congratulations on the commission.MT

Michael,

Congratulations on your commission. Must be nice to have a small backlog, even though you're not pushing for it. You certainly deserve it!

That is excellent news Michael, congrats!
I always say that the internet makes the world a much smaller place.
What are the chances you would have this customer if not for the
internet?
