the dream I had while I was dating the Jungian analyst a few years ago:

....I realized I was Carl Jung and the picnic table meant it was my office. The orange liquid we put on the violins was the blood of Christ and was formulated from a dream recipe taken out of the gnostic gospels that Jung had been interpreting.

My conclusion was that I should go forth and seek the holy grail, which we all know is a wooden vessel called A Conde'.

On the home page the sections under the "Discussion" heading could be,

Lutherie Building and repair.

Guitarra Flamenca Anything else related to the instrument; history, valuation, market etc..

I'm sure there will still be errant posts, though I think it can be interesting when things go off on a tangent. I would like it if this was still allowed to happen. Maybe set a frame work but not get too rigid?



This sounds reasonable to me, it would allow for the building and repair discussion to be more liberated from non intrinsic crosstalk. Of course if someone makes an comment about history of guitars or the origins of nomenclature of guitar parts or tools or other more esoteric things in context with a building project that is cool. I just want to see the building talk stay focused so we can keep an intensity in guitar making.

I've got projects I want to share and I can learn a lot more here..and teach a few things. I'd like to see the building get more serious. I'm a funny irreverent person when I want to be and I think flamenco attracts that kind of person, but I don't always want to be the joker you read on your iPad while on the train. There's a place for fun & games and a place to be focused and studious, they can intersect, but lets keep it clear.

I hope you will forgive me if I have hacked at your post a bit. Where I have added or modified letters or words to keep the grammar or sense I have put those in [ ], and where I have removed words (usually the specific "guitar") I have replaced with ......

Your post now expresses what I would hope for every section of the foro, for any area of study and/or discussion, and for many areas of life. Nice post
