Great! I'm so glad you're doing a step-by-step! I've never seen a step-by-step build for an acoustic. I'm excited to see it progress. Hopefully it won't be one of those 2 year long builds I've seen around

Wow! That looks really cool. I saw a video clip on youtube of someone doing a swirl paintjob. He had a big bucket of water, then dropped in some (oil?) paint. Then slowly dunked his guitar while swirling. Is that how you did it?

I searched around for that tutorial about making a nut but couldn't find anything. Could you post a link?
