Wood working ,40yrs, I started with the balsa engine powered U-control planes. Metal working, 30yrs, Guitar playing,40 yrs, Tool collecting, 30 yrs, Projects of any kind ~ the more intricate the better. Here is where I would like to put in Luthier but I only ever made one guitar so I am much more of a lurker here than a contributor. I do know my way around all of the main tools one would encounter and have rebuilt many. I have just about completed the purchasing most of the specialized luthier tools so I am closer to a build now. Well that's about it.
