My Mother-in-law has a little sign in her cottage kitchen which reads ...
"If this establishment doesn't meet your standards - Please lower your standards"

But I am thinking of using a smaller chainsaw to make my next CBG !!! You know... for that detail work !!!

If you happen to be hosting a dinner party, don't bother removing your tools, guitar parts & bits from the dining room table...have a barbeque & eat on the patio. Who cares that it's February and -26 celcius? That's what coats are for.

Yup.  I shall strive to achieve these standards.   Following #7 will be a step up for me but people tell me I can still learn simple things if I get enough repetition.   Thanks Bill. 

In Iowa we mostly call it spooge, not flen,   I stand corrected,

I use to only try to build guitars all nice neat and clean, I would never except glue showing or scratches.

now I only build them that look cruddy and wound never build one that's neat or clean, I try to make sure it has scratches and dents before I paint it so it looks like it has a past... I have done a complete flip flop!

Well said Wayfinder.   I know there are some really talented builders out there. I will never be in their league. But I am ok with that.  I like and appreciate their work and will be the first to tell them so.
