Today was a good day...

We sold our home in December and along with it my shop. I have not built a guitar or even worked on one for the past 6 months. Today, I finally got my new shop set up in our new home and will resume building but this time, I will take it more serious and put everything I have learned into my guitars and see where it takes me. I hope to be ready to begin marketing myself and selling my work. I just hope the layoff has not affected my skills to much. Has anyone here taken a long layoff for whatever reason and if so, how rusty where you before you got back to your true form?

You'll be better than before. Thinking about it makes you better if you already know how to do it.

Sounds great, did you move from the metroplex?

That sounds good Tom. Good luck with your next steps. I know how many years you´ve been waiting for this.

I wish someone will buy my house before the bank puts me in the streets....

No, we actually just moved about a mile from our old home. Our previous home was going on 12 years and needed some upgrades so we though lets just get a new home with all the modern upgrades in it already.

Thank you Anders. It has been a hobby for much too long. Not that there is anything wrong with building as a hobby but if I could get to a point where I could quit my other job and build guitars full-time, it would be great.

I read a quote the other day "if you find something you love to do, you'll never work a day in your life" I think this is so true, especially with luthiery.

Congrats on setting up in your new place! I'm hoping to have something similar this year too. It's just so hard finding a place over here that has prospect for a workshop in my price range.

Good luck with going full time. The work you have posted here certainly looks the part.

Good luck with new home and workshop.
I've just moved too. Its going to be some months before I have workshop up and running, so much to do just getting the house sorted.
