Very interesting build design and philosophy!
Fun to watch! Thanks for sharing

I admire a nice glued scarf joint as much as anyone, but there's something satisfying about fitting two pieces together and feeling them form there own mechanical bond. Thanks Paul!

Really enjoying following this thread--amazing attention to detail with a high level of difficulty.
Dig the dual soundports too!
Great work--thanks for sharing--would love to hear it when it is done!

Thanks. My goal sonically is to have a guitar that speaks loud and clear, but at the same time seems to be speaking only to you.

I've never heard the sound of your creations and at this point I don't care (not what a luthier wants to hear, eh?) but am so taken with your wood working abilities that the sound is secondary. Yeah, been guitaring for 4 years and wood carving for about 40, so guess what I know and appreciate....
No, I'm not that much of an idiot. Would really love to hear how they sound but judging from your work, they have to have a sound equal to the beauty of the guitar.
Have always enjoyed watching people that enjoy their work and are good at it, even if it's just digging a ditch. They become one with the job and it's like a carefully choreographed symphony, your work reminds me of that.
Appreciate seeing the process and, like the others, can't wait to hear the final result.

One of the reasons I like doing these build threads is at a young age I was heavily influenced by "process art"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_art
The idea that the process of making art is as important as the finished object. A "journey is the destination" sort of thing. I do love my time in the trenches.

Beautiful set of Katalox. I look forward to seeing it under finish. I don’t know why people are not building more Katalox guitars

I agree. A very underappreciated wood.
Thanks Ian. Comments like yours makes it feel like I have an appreciative audience, and as musicians know, that can really enhance a performance.
