Usually ponder the Uncertainty principle of quantum physics or String theory, but since I've been building this guitar I just go stand in a corner and watch the air molecules float by.

.........oops, I feel a towel snapping coming................................................OUCH! beehive

The next process it may be Neck, Fretboard, top back jointing cutting braces I try to never be idle or I find myself going inside and turning on the boob-tube. Typically while I wait on the bocks and rims to dry I am jointing top and back, prepping linings, and making bracing for the back. While I wait on the linings to dry I am gluing up back bracing. So forth and so on.

Wait a minute...you people let the guitar DRY before working on it again? D'OH! gaah

Well, that'd make an improvement in my finishes now wouldn't it? :D

I thought String Theory has changed to Membrane Theory. They added a dimension. I think there up to 14 now.

clean up and like Michael, may start next process. Or like JJ, practice golf swing. Got the hook fixed, now if just can get the slice out. Go a couple of blocks to the river and flyfish an hour or so, love to catch the trout now. I pretty much do the catch and release, but one or two a week for the grill. Shop for a drum sander, make jigs(or attempt to), reclean shop, work on guitars have bought for repair and hooking up vets to get them to, reclean shop, so many things to do, and you got it reclean shop.
