Hi folks, Not everyone is on Instagram so I wanted to make sure to also share this here with the OLF - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH8xzIUO ... VtZDZ3Yno5 Background: I’ve been working for the last few years with Dave Farmer, also from the OLF, to design a system of templates and jigs for acoustic builders. You’ve seen some of these shared by me along the way in various threads. We are planning to hold a product preview with a small set of builders. The goal is to get feedback and input from a diverse set of builders and use that input to improve the experience of using the products when they launch. The preview will run from May 1 to Aug 1. We will work together to close the box on an acoustic body, sharing feedback along the way. It’s a collaborative and open process. There are some requirements such as you’ll have to commit to completion of closing the box in 90 days, capture notes, images, etc… and share them in a bi-weekly zoom call. You will also need to provide the woods used, it doesn’t have to be braz over moon spruce. Sapele over grade B top is fine. ![]() Participants will get a starter kit for a given instrument class (dred, OM or 00) and discounts on future products if you decide to continue building with the system. Sign up is here: www.stringsmicrofactory.com/smf-public-preview Main site is here: www.stringsmicrofactory.com Any questions let me know. We’re hoping to get the products launched in August and become the latest OLF sponsor. ![]() Thanks! Brad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I can vouch for the value and effectiveness of the templates and jigs that make up this system, and I encourage all who are interested to participate. I've seen Brad demonstrate everything a few times now. The system is very well thought out as is, and it will be even better with your input. If I weren't scheduled for another knee replacement in a few weeks and busting my bum at my day job, I would love to build a box with the system over the next 3 months. |

I've already got too many projects in the shop, don't think I have the time to add another one. It sounds interesting and I have no doubt it will be a well thought out and quality product. |
