<p>Thanks Uncle John for the compliments.Something to help my Dad keep his mind going strong is always helpful.</p>
<p>About tools luckily I have many woodworking tools as I have been working with wood for 40 years. I have just begun building musical instruments though. One of the most useful tools and a good one is Stew Macs Safety planer. If you have a drill press this tool is so useful. Good for fret boards, bridges, bindings and many other applications. I have wanted one for a while but…</p>

<p>About tools luckily I have many woodworking tools as I have been working with wood for 40 years. I have just begun building musical instruments though. One of the most useful tools and a good one is Stew Macs Safety planer. If you have a drill press this tool is so useful. Good for fret boards, bridges, bindings and many other applications. I have wanted one for a while but they are kind of pricey. They recently were on sale for $25 and spare cutters were $5 so i snagged it.</p>

<p>Hey, Kevin. I like the story and love those two very high end home builts. Good on your papa for getting to be a player late in life. I hope he has some good many years of enjoyment. I think he would like a big uke or tenor guitar!</p>

<p>I am building my 2nd CBG now. This one will have a Snake Oil humbucker in it, Yes I used 9mm shell casings i cut down for the fret markers. I saw it on someone else's build and I like the looks.</p>

<p>"Could be addicting". LOL you have no idea! Its like being handed the keys to the candy store, except you won't rot your teeth out and a lot less calories! I haven't finished my first build (parts I need are on a slow boat from China) I'm in the middle of 2 and 3 for a summer camp for foster kids. You do some very nice work. Anyone would be proud to own your work. Quite frankly I'm envious.</p>
<p>What are you using for fret marker "shell casings"? Bad ass! Welcome to the asylum.</p>
