quote:
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.
Hopefully Escribano will find this a beneficial idea, and even though he's as busy as anyone, at some point might be able to grant the added sections as he sees fit.

Maybe you missed where I announced my new Japan shop is housed in a former salt storage warehouse?
Simply building them there imparts the essence of salt and sea.
___________
The salt joke is quite played out and I do actually like Tom. I had an awakening when I came here and looked for a studio to work in. I asked what the building was for when it was built. "Oh" they said, " it was a salt cellar for our family salt supply business, but we sold the business and now we have this building waiting for you."
Surprise, surprise, as Gomer Pile would say.
This dovetails perfectly with the dream I had while I was dating the Jungian analyst a few years ago:
I worked in a shop where Carl Jung himself was a guitar maker and we worked at this long bench like a big picnic table. We were making orange varnish and putting in on violins.
One of the classic ways to interpret dreams is to look at the dream a place yourself as every person an thing in the dream an see what it says. So 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'. But which Conde'? No one knows which Conde' is the holy grail, so guitarists search endlessly to find it trying one Conde' after another.
Since my dream has revealed the true nature of the grail I had dedicated myself in secret to learn how to mix the sacred blood orange varnish as a way of supplicating and paying homage to those guitar players who search for the grail without ceasing to have faith that the One Conde' Grail exists and they will find it to save the souls of men. Now you all know I am searching too and that my own guitar making is funding my search. Day job, making Stephen Faulk guitars, the rest of the time, searching for the Conde' Grail. It could be in Japan. You never know, some Japanese player may have been entrusted to bring it here i the 1960's under the supervision of Faustino himself.
Which brings me to my next suggestion that we organize the Luthery section into three parts, like the holy trinity:
Conde' Grail Search
Building and Repair
History and Aficion
