Been lurking around here a bit and on some other "luthier forums" looking for a good home. I've learned a lot of stuff off of forums like this and, I should say from the start, am pretty much self taught and enjoy reading about other people's projects and such and sharing what I have learned.
For the most part, I am a hobbiest builder. I started out building furniture and, as a "hack" guitar player, decided I would try my hand and building an instrument. Well, most of you guys probably know the rest of the story. I'm now about 8 guitars into debt and can't seem to kick the habit. My son helps me out in the shop and has done a couple of his own designs and builds. Not sure if I can post pics yet, since I just registered, but will try. Hope to contribute to some discussions and continue learning. Here's a pic of four of my builds: From L-R: Fat Bottom Girl, Old Oakie, Double Cut, and Cherry #1. Between my son and I, we have at least four more (not pictured).
. I'm actually of the same mind as you, but there are others here who have pretty strong opinions otherwise. No big deal. The biggest thing that I've learned while lurking on this forum for the past 5 years is that there are a lot of ways to skin the cat, and you need to find the method that works for you ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up")
. So with that being said, Welcome! And I'm looking forward to seeing some more father/son creations
