Yeah, do it Jim! Its very rewarding - quick results and pretty straight forward. Just watch yourself on all that spinning metal!
Well I was knocked out by the reso - great finish and super sound, so add me to your 'Il get a guitar from you some day' list!
Stay happy

Thanks Jim, the Hawaii CBG nation chapter has begun.. I was the first to show up to the local guitar store to buy parts and let the guys in on the CBG. They have lots of experience out here making ukuleles so I wouldn't be surprised to see more builds come out, especialy the guys who are into the koa woods..
Aloha! Jason
Thank you Jim. I am off this weekend for a two day Jerryfest concert in PA. Gonna vend some CDs and play some CBG. Also, I got a 4 string CBG video in the works. Enjoy.
Jim, thanks for your comments on the podcast. It helps me to know folks appreciate them. I wish I could put them out more often, but I have to balance my time. If you ever get into recording anything, send it to me and I will put it in an episode.
Hey Jim, thanks for the welcome, nice of ya'. Yeah, I know I'm hooked.
Only been putzin with this 3-string for about a week and I'm havin' too much
fun to learn anything about notes, keys chords, all that foreign language stuff.
I've been a woodworker most of my life n' the other day a friend gave me
a bunch of cigar boxes. I'm DOOMED ! Ahh, but what a fate.
If I can pull myself away from tryin' to play there's gonna' be some wood-chips
flyin' over here. I gotta' have me another guitar. Well, maybe 2 more...or three.
Nice to meet ya' Jim. Take care man. Wally.
Hi Jim, you've got some great work here. Thanks for the comment... youve got to make one but beware because now im addicted to banjos lol. Gourd are pretty tricky to find in the U.K. not sure about the U.S. but once you find one you can grow your own...
Cheers Jim , yep i hope it's going to be the last router table i buy ! - i was also considering the WoodRat it's a great bit of kit for sure - the only problem i have with getting one is having wall space to mount it - no doubt i'll get one one day though :-)
have you used yours much ? - i see you have the same router as me also - do you use any collet Extention with the router to extend the Router cutters ? - the xtreme xtension i bought is a great bit of kit but takes time to set-up as it's balanced but once set fitting and removing cutters takes a second and can be done without the use of the router spindle lock or spanners just 1/4 turn of a allen wrench is all it takes to lock or unlock the Cutter - check out the link http://www.routertechnologies.com/extreme%20extension.htm
Hey jim heres the new router table i was talking about - and it's all made in the USA - Kreg Router Table - Woodpecker Unilift and the collet Extension is a Extreme Extention which you can fit your router bits too with a 1/4 turn of a allen wrench and one handed cool or what lol!
Hey Jim,
can't exactly remember all we talked about but was wondering about the fox fire books.I see them them on line.They have info on builds? Maybei can get DVD.Any way thanks.
