Closed up the box on my #1 - Sitka/walnut OM. Started building a binding jig. I'm at work so no photos. |

I cut the binding and purfling slots on the cocobolo 000 and am ready to start gluing on the binding when I quit fooling around on this laptop. I started cutting the bracing for the Manzer wedge small jumbo, finished the rim last week. This is the first time I have been working on 2 guitars at once and seem to get more done instead of sitting around waiting for glue to dry. I also just noticed I have been promoted to Cocobolo on the OLF, I should feel special.  Fred |

3 mandos nearing completion, all 40mm at the nut, extra wide for guitarists to learn to play mando!! a mini dread, needs set up & saddle intonation  and a flat top A shape that needs the same.  and another A, slightly behind......  Hopefully I'll get all three done by the end of next week. |

I've been working on carving down braces and getting a label placed where I want it for the back of #2. |

Here is a teaser. I still have to made a bridge, nut and saddle to complete this one. I will post finished pics soon and provide full details. A huge thank you for the fabulous finish by Joe White. I have to say, I am a big advocate for letting the wood speak for itself and Joe's work lets the wood shine through. A nicer, more professional person to work with cannot be found. I cannot recommend anyone more highly. Thanks again, Joe. |

I swapped pickups in my strat. I'm doing the job, start to finish, in about 30 minutes now working comfortably. Also got the head and heel blocks profiled and glued. I'm a week out from having a rim. |

The rest of the instrument is myrtle and cocobolo. |
