GregP Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Awesome! Nice to have you aboard. Depending on what I decide to do with some roller saddles Frank's sending me (some day ) I may need your advice on fabricating a bridge for them. ! Have fun, and be sure to build a guitar sometime.

jmrentis Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hey man, welcome! I'm sure you will have some good advice to offer some members being that you have quite a bit of woodworking skills, I would assume that you are good by the specific tools and amount of tools you have. Also there is a ton of information here for yourself to learn how to build guitars. Having the previous knowledge of wood and having the skills you do,learning to build guitars won't take as much time as most. I was wondering if you have any pictures you could put a link to, so we could see some work you have done. If you don't, no worries but I would really like to see some wood work other than guitar once and a while. I'm sure you have read the rules(if not do), so you can post one pic 640x480pixels, and the rest need to be linked. So if you have some pics please post them wood or metal, I'm sure a lot of people here would be interested in seeing your work. I know I would. Well nice to meet you and good luck with the guitar building. Anytime you have a question, just ask assuming that you have searched the site first, searching will give you more than enough info on most subjects, but if you don't find anything by all means ask. We will gladly try to help. Hope you enjoy this site, it is a great place to learn and share info, there isn't another site I would rather be. Talk to you later! Jason Quote Link to comment
