    Mistakes happen to give you creative opportunities.  The best laid plan, and all that!  Nice one, DMR!

    Glad you saved it.  That's how it goes.

    Thanks for the encouragement!

    Mine are never mistake free either, hey that's how you learn. Good news I was always able to fix the goofs. Built this one about 3 times to get it right. Never give up!

    Nice work, especially for a first!
    Every time I build one, I make a different kind of mistake.

    I like what you did with the sound holes. I wanted to do something like that on one of my recent guitars but just couldn't visualize it. Now I have an example!

    Ashton Churchill......A really good sounding box.  Nice job.

    Yes I did cut it too thin and it would not stay in tune. So I took it apart again and beefed up the neck all the way through. It worked. I bought the neck from gutty for 60 bucks. Won't do that again. Now I make my own.

    Way to go,  DMR.  Looks like an excellent build for me.   Lots of good work here.   Hmm.  I hope you didn't cut the neck too thin as it goes through the box.
