I would second this guess.

If not a grill, could be a good work surface for a pot or pan

I am truly at a loss

Thanks for the love Cookie Monster. My world is crumbling and I legitimately needed that.

This was exactly what I was hoping it was

My pleasure! I’m lucky to work in a field that I am passionate about, so anytime I can share the passion and possibly start someone on their own journey, I jump at it.

Voicing the top/back is largely about tapping the braces plates at key nodal locations and listening for pitches and relationships. From there braces are shaved back to allow for more flexibility where necessary.

I’ll admit that this is were the majority of the magic happens to separate an amazing guitar from a good guitar. Unfortunately, it’s almost entirely subjective and every piece of wood is different, so writing up a guide would prove challenging.

It you’d like to know more, Dana Bourgeois has some good videos on YouTube sort of highlighting his process.

Thank you very much! It’s still in need of some voicing and shaping, but should be ready to glue in an hour or two. I’ll snap some more detailed pics of the braces before I box it up.

Awww shucks… I’m gonna blush.

I believe the suspect that the police have identified was a firearms instructor at a military base down in Saco.

I haven’t read anything about it, so I can’t say for sure, but I work in the Lewiston area and I’ve heard both the bowling alley and bar to be more “local” oriented businesses.

The Walmart distribution center is a weird one though, because it’s not really a store front.

Whatever his motivations are, it breaks my heart to see it happen in our neck of the woods.
