Well from the old,old crowd Ray&Brian from Trooper(I try to see them at least once a year),there was some shenanagens with Chad from Nickleback(too big for old friends now,I didn't even see him when I worked on his house),Neil from 5440 is a good guy and I still see Duane from Default around now and again.I used to host alot of pig roasts and such so it made for a good jam.

That is talent! Looking at all these fabulous photos just reaffirms my belief that one has to be a true artist inorder to make an instrument.
Man, I wish I have some knowledge how a cello is made, alas, i don't, and may be it is a good thing that I don't... lol

Building a boat is much easier than building a guitar lol

[tlandauer]

Dana, do you use a template to get the fret spacing, or is there a formula? And how do you radius the fretboard? I've wondered about these things in the past. What an informative post - I'm thoroughly impressed. Good looking job, Dewd!
