If anyone is interested, I'm starting this blog off in order to have a place to organize my notes and photographs from my second class with Edward Dick at the Colorado School of Lutherie. Two years ago I stumbled on Edward's class while looking for something more productive to which to apply myself. I loved the class, both the learning of skill and the opportunity to build an instrument (a dreadnought steel string guitar similar to a Martin D-28). I was convinced that this was a hobby that I wanted to continue with.
The opportunity has arisen, so tomorrow I start working on an intermediate level project. This one will be targeted to be more of a finger style guitar, with Walnut back and sides (maybe something like this, minus the cutaway). Anyways, the purpose of this blog won't be so much introspection or attempts to generate comments, but primarily a way to make sure that I put together my notes on the building process in such a way that I can access them again.
