Eddy,
I'd really like to see you keep your project photo essay going. Once it is completed I'll try to go through and clean up all the peripheral 'add on comments' and set it up for easy future visual reference. It's too good of information to allow it to get buried.

That's not just an April Fool's joke on us, is it Eddy?

Hey guys,
I've got a few more new photos up, the bodies are ready to start the German
Carve. Going to start carving this evening, then the binding.
If you get a chance take a peek.

It has to be said, I'm thoroughly enjoying this step by step build. It's pretty zen.

Always a pleasure to see a master at work in his craft. A bonus when he shares insights in that experience as you are. Great pictorial essay, Eddy - thanks for sharing.

Although I do not have talent to make guitars, I enjoy reading your post a lot. I am glad to see someone like you to keep the Mosrite legend going and most impressed with your dedication of the true handcraft tradition. Look forward to seeing more photos from you and thanks for sharing.

Hey Guys ,
I got the binding on all the bodies and scraped down.
The're starting to look like vintage side-jacks, going to start the necks soon.

I'm enjoying your photos a lot, I am going to build guitars myself so this gives me a general idea of what to do, Plus the pictures of cutting the German Carve are something I won't be able to find very often. Thanks for sharing!
