First Build - it's done!
Well, after about 8.5 years, my first build is finally finished. It's been an interesting journey, and I've made a few mistakes along the way. I guess that's how we learn. Thankfully the mistakes I made were either correctable or not important. Most important thing, is that the end of it all, she sounds and feels exactly how I wanted it to. Guess I'd better start planning the next one (actually, I've started the planning, but time to make it more concrete)
The other day I described to my daughter how to find something in the garage by saying "It's right near my big saw". A few minutes later she came back to ask: "Do you mean the black one, the green one, or the blue one?".

Well it might have taken you 8 1/2 years but it was worth it.
It looks good, excellent job.
Cheers Bob

Looking good Peter! Most important bit is that you like it.

great looking work Peter! Of course the best thing is it's sounding as good as you hoped. Well done
8 1/2 years - yikes! & I thought 6 or 7 months for my first build (almost done) was a long time.
