First of all, I hate the term "Newby". This community is not some inner sanctum of CBG monks that you have to approach with your hat in your hand. It is just a bunch of folks doing the same thing you are interested in. Walk up and talk to them...
The real advice? Post pictures when you ask for advice. There isn't a person on here that hasn't built their first one, screwed one up, overlooked an obvious fix, or got distracted by a cool song on the radio and glued and clamped a fretboard on backwards without realizing it until late the next day when they have already spent hours shaping the neck. Ok, maybe that was just me.
Nobody here is going to laugh or put down your work. They are simply going to fall all over themselves to help you.
When you go to the doctor, you have to let him look at it.

Word, Kevin. About the only thing I'd add to the mix is to relax and keep things in perspective. Remember - It's a stick and a box.
If you'd like to read about my adventures in learning how to relax and enjoy the building process, check out my one and only blog post here:

I am entering searches in the box and I am getting the following:
It must be your browser, Bama. I'm running a really old version of Safari and the CBN search engine seems to work fine.
It works fine for me. I'm using Firefox.
No problem for me at all...
I get the same thing as Bama on IE, Firefox and Chrome.
Now, I can get pictures and videos to show up, but if I want to do a forum search (meaning I click on Forums on the bar up top, then go to the search box underneath, and search for a discussion), I get that same error message.
Sorry about hijacking your thread Voodoo Rat but the thread was about "newbies", which I am, but I was using search engine fine and it quit. I have tried on Google Chrome and Firefox and no luck, but now I know it is me I can work on it.
Since you are having the same problem with the search box on the left I will alert you to another search box. At the top right of the page above the word Nation next to the sign out. I got auto sign in so I never noticed the search box there. I got my wife to join and I used her computer using Windows 8 and the one on the left didn't work there either. The top right box works for me,try that one.
