Welcome to all the new member's on the kit building 101 forum. You are about to begin a challenging and rewarding journey. There is more information available on the subject today than ever before. I am privilaged to have been able to learn enough throughout the years that I have put together a series of DVD's that will make the learning curve easier and shorter for folks. In the DVD's I show all the mistakes so you can avoid them!
No really, I show how to build a classical, steel string or electric guitar using the LMI unserviced kits. This is basically a scratch build as it is just a box of lumber. You have to do it all and my step by step instructions in the DVD's (which come in the kits) will make it easy to build your own guitar from start to finish. I also have a DVD on guitar finishing. All of my instructional DVD's are available through LMI, one of the sponsors here, or through Apprentice Publishing Recently I also begin an instructional video series on Youtube called Luthiers Tips du Jour. These videos address topics related to lutherie and many folks around the world are finding them useful. Be sure and check in often here at the OLF as this is a very valuable resource for information.
Good luck on your journey and Happy Building!
