I'd love to see more of the early stages of the acoustic builds.

Forgot my camera the last 2 weeks. So far I have built the mold, made a template for the headstock (a subtle asymmetric design that I think is pretty cool), glued the back, ran the top through the shooting board to get it ready to glue first thing next week. It will have to be a 3 piece top top beca...

That's not a Clapton song.

In like Flynn!

And it begins! First class was thursday evening, mostly a discussion on what we hoped to achieve, some basic principals etc. Today I went to pick out wood at a place in the burbs called Exotic Woods.

Aaaargh!

Oh yes, there will be photographs.

Thanks folks.

My band did this version at a gig last Saturday, with me on lead vocals & it seemed to go over pretty well.

Our Band Could be Your Life is an excellent read, particularly if you have been in an indie band. Hard Core Logo is one of my all time favourite films. It's about a fictional Vancouver band. I strongly identified with many of the scenes of touring Western Canada. :D The book is on my coffee table, I...
