Hey, maybe I should get into guitar making also! I am half-way there as I have worked with wood a fair bit, made decks of cedar (I used wood recycled from old power poles for the railing), built a house addition, finished basements, installed wood cabinetry, built a flamenco dance floor for practice, etc. I am thinking about making an expedition windsurfer out of wood now... nah, I think I will just rent something. Maybe I am all wet for some of you guys cause I don't drink the koolaid or swear by the "lore" but I *know* the smell of wood, the feel of it, the weight, the splinter in the hand, how to handle a good piece of Douglas Fir, Spruce, Oak, Hemlock etc and I think I understand what Estebanana is saying. The only thing I don't do is drink coffee, I am a tea man. Edit plus I built lots of stuff out of balsa wood!
