Egypt & Scott: You are SO far ahead of me!  I didn't know what a CBG was until Christmas of 2013!  Glad your friends and family are supportive, Egypt - you're learning some great skills!  My exposure to CBG's was through my older son, whose girlfriend is an anthropologist teaching at Loyola (Chicago); and she's participated in digs in So. Africa as well as other research there!  She's the blonde in my "Woot-Jam" pictures, and she loves her CBG (my #10 build)!  You might really enjoy talking 'shop' with her some day!  Good luck down the road!

Thanks guys! Folk music is certainly an huge part of my life, and I'm very glad that I'm learning how to build instruments!

Gary W, my friends accepted a long time ago that I'm weird :) I'd much rather listen to people like Woody Guthrie than Paramore etc., I love watching silent films, and I'm going to college to be a Greco-Roman Egyptologist (so I can dig square holes in the ground). Good thing I have have some pretty awesome friends and family!

I agree with Bluesheart.  Plus I like the banjo building pictorial.

That is nice. We don't see many young people in here!
