I'm also really excited to see you do this. It's such a gutsy move to launch a company, let alone a guitar manufacturing business. Kudos to you!

I've also experienced moves like this before with a small engineering firm that did fabrication. We moved three times to progressively larger spaces, which involved relocating an office, IT, woodshop, machine shop, paint room, clean room, compressors, freezers, warming ovens, an industrial autoclave, and more.

It'll feel so good when you get everything up and running!

Thanks JP

Yes gutsy or plain crazy :)

I'm afraid to turn the machines on for the electricity bill. You should see rates in the UK right now.

Thanks for sharing your experience. The unit I have is not suitable for what I want to do but it's part of the journey.
It's good encouragement to make money and move out and as you say, do it all again!

Kindest Regards

Hi Guys

This has been a long time coming but I've pretty much finished the workshop.
In the video I do a tour of the workshop and talk about making laminate plates, guitar scanning and CAD work.

Thanks everyone here for supporting me and being positive. It's meant a lot.

I've hopefully got a special Guild video coming and build idea.

Full of admiration for your realisation of the idea! And I particularly enjoyed the section on veneers, in which I found that I knew Nothing about construction! Best wishes for the remaining exciting final phases!! T

Great video tour, Archie!

And congratulations on getting underway with your builds. I think your digital data approach will yield some excellent sounding instruments.
