Here is an original post from August 8, 2004 by Brock Poling on the site he put up for the OLF FOLK Guitar Project:

Welcome!
At the request of Bruce Dickey I have thrown this page together to help OLF members coordinate the project to build Lance Kragenbrink a little "thank you" gift for the first anniversary of the OLF. Way to go Lance!



This is a picture of John How's Parlor Guitar which is the kind of guitar under construction in this effort. Here it is week 78 and it is moving forward. Kudos to all who've had a hand in this effort. Better late than never. The setbacks along the way are a fading memory. When this guitar makes it's way into Lance's hand our hard work will be rewarded. Oh heck, part of the reward is the work itself, that too is very rewarding.

Yesterday Tim got back to my question regarding the OLF FOLK Guitar.

Here is what he plans to accomplish when it makes it back from finishing by Addam Stark:

1. install the bridge, nut and saddle
2. install the Waverley tuners
3. fret the neck after finish
4. string it, tune it, take a picture for us hopefully, and ship it to Lance! Yahoo!

I've lost track of the bridge location? Anyone have the one furnished by Bob Steidl? I've slept since this began and things are slightly fuzzy. Grin.

Thanks to all and to Tim for steadfast offer of volunteerism.

Thanks Craig. We appreciate the fact that you'll have to work it in. Friends of Lance Kragenbrink, the FOLK guitar project is headed your way. Thank you.

But look how much we have improved our project management process from the first build to the second.

It is going to be a race to the finish to see if OLF 2 is done before OLF 1
