Hey Mike,
Just for reference, what size was that old shed you used to work out of at your Dad's? And what size is the newly expanded one?

(man, that first one was tiny, with a small "t"!

Well Mike,
Looks like you're roped in! I think Shane and I both knew that was inevitable )

Why don't you start a new thread on how you make those nifty end grain rosetts? They are gorgeous! You may may need an image resizer, as I had to resize the rosette pix quite bit, but image quality stayed good. I just use Microsoft's resizer (CAN SOMEONE PROVIDE A LINK??)

As a newcomer to the forum, I also say welcome! As a long-time former Vermont resident, it is nice to hear of someone who had some guitar building training up there.

Last summer I had the privilege of attending a guitar building class at Vermont Instruments with George Morris. As I understand it, George was one of Charles Fox's partners and/or instructors in the school he had up there. George is still at it up in Vermont 25 years later.

We kept hearing about the yurts and the more primitive conditions that they had on the property there. Did you attend way back then?
