Well as I find myself laid up for a couple of days and can't do much more than sit on my duff in front of the computer I thought I would give a try at getting some photos of my nearly completed first build out there. action=createwidgets">here Final buffing, bridge, frets and setup in about a week. You guys have been a great source of help and inspiration. Especially the classical builders as I now understand the traditional aspect. I'll just call this one a nylon string with Torres style bracing. I'm looking forward to building the real deal. Thanks, Danny Vincent |

Thanks! Can't wait to get my mitts on the strings. Alain, The finish is Mohawk hi gloss instrument Lacquer. Serge, The next one will be an arch top mando. I think you may be a player. I may be calling on you for some advise. Have you carved one yet? Hesh, Love you're site. Got a few questions for you too sometime. Beautiful work! Cheers, Danny |

Danny, yes i'm a player but i only carved the neck of my first F-5, i didn't carve any plates yet. One word of advice though, if you have the Siminoff book, don't go with his plans because they're inaccurate, use the book as a building guide only, better to work with the Macrostie's plan from LMI for acuracy of the arches templates, or so was i told by Arnt, our F5 expert from Norway!  Mark Tripp and others would also be of help!
i'll probably give it more time while the finish dries on no 3 though.
Cheers |
