Hi, Stephen -

I'd like to know more about your course. Can't do it this year, but am interested. Do I need previous experience with wood-working?

Hi Jasmine-27

My courses run for 4 weeks, very intensive but great fun (so people say!)
In this time we make a high quality flamenco or classical guitar using good quality tonewoods and no real shortcuts. I emphasize on working with handtools but some machining is also done to prepare timbers. I have taught people with no experience at all and have has very goos results. All you need is a drive to make the guitar and are good with your hands. Keep in touch

It's something I'd be really interested in. But I can't get permission from She Who Must Be Obeyed to use all my annual leave.
