I've been lurking here for a while and decided it was past time to join in. Everyone here is so generous with their knowledge of guitar making, I hope I can add at least a little.
I studied furniture making with James Krenov in the early 80's, and have been making custom furniture in my shop in North Carolina since them. Two years ago I decided to build a guitar for myself, and got hooked. I"m now working on numbers 6 and 7 and can't seem to quit.
So thanks for all the help I've gotten here-

Hey Paul,

You will most likely build guitars the rest of your life. Wonderful fun. Great to have you here. It's the best!

Welcome to the addiction. Strap yourself in, cause as you probably already know, it can get bumpy sometimes.

Welcome Paul,

You have studied with a great man, you already know that! I have read a fair bit on Krenov, including some of his books, he has a great attitude towards wood and woodworking and I would think that his students would seek his instruction because they were like minded. So I look forward to your participation and insights.

Shane

Welcome aboard Paul.
James Krenov. Wow that's awesome. I have every one of his books. He was a great inspiration to me in my furniture making days. Building guitars certainly is addictive. Looking forward to your posts here.

Welcome, Paul. Just make sure you don't "float" the soundboard off of the sides on little hidden sticks...hmmm...on second thought...
