Holy #^%# what am I doing ....

Posted by Henry S on March 23, 2015 at 4:00pm

Well I'm on the verge as in I just to push the buy button at CB Gitty to get the stuff for my first CGB. Have plenty a tools and a fair bit of wood working experience but never made anything that would or could make music. So I'm a bit nervous but looking forward to only screwing it up non critical areas.

    It'll be grand man, there are no rules. Join the revolution. You'll be chuffed to bits with your first CBG. I say 'first' because it's true what they say... you never build just one. It's highly addictive. Everyone on here supports each other it's a great community.

    Thanks for the support ---- just pushed the button on the CBG. Now of course I need to clean up and out the work shop and my electronics bench ... its always something.

    First ones intimidating, then you might later find its the easiest, because you start to take it too serious and try to perfect the next 5 or 10 (or?) and then you pick up the first one and realize that even though it might not be perfect, it's somehow your favorite.

    You'll see. My suggestion? Try to keep it fun!

    lots  of  folks  here    willing to  help   at any time  ..

     and,  there  are  no    "fails  "  ,

     just " discoveries"  of    other  ways that  don't  work  ;-)

      And "discoveries" of methods to make the ways that don't work, work. :)>

    Hello fellow Oregonian!
    Don't worry! I've made lots of mistakes on evey one of mine and they still sound and play fine. Part of the art of building CBG's seems to be coming up with creative solutions to fixing the mistakes.
