So I'm heading down to Devon tomorrow morning, as I've got a place on the summer course at the Totnes School of Guitar Making (http://www.totnesschoolofguitarmaking.co.uk) which starts on Monday.

I've been looking forward to this since I had my place confirmed last september. Will post updates and pictures of the build process as and when I can get access to the interweb (or carrier pigeon).

See everyone back here in August :)

Sure it doesn't start on Tuesday. Monday's a bank holiday

Have a good time and let us know how it goes. Do you know what you'll be building?

Thanks guys.

The course starts on monday, bankholidays don't happen for studenty types (was the same when I was at uni).

I'm probably going to build a 12 string acoustic guitar, or failing that a parlour sized acoustic for fingerpicking :)

The course website has a photo diary so you can check on my progress from time to time :)

Excellent,

I hope the course is everything you are hoping for (and more)

Devon is one of my favourite places too

I'd say good choice as to me 12 strings are the business.

Sounds like a good course and i hope you enjoy it and get a lot from it- that price has gotta hurt though. Mind you i have probably spent more than that making mistakes and learning that way

All of my first choices for work experience were taken so I had to go to some little "goth shop" thing.. it was surprisingly not bad seeing as I hate goths. I got free hot chocolates, donuts and I started at 10, finished at 2-3 most days :lol:

i went to Bucks Free Press newpaper offices :? it sucked; they sat me in a corner and i wrote an article that was appartently too politically incorrect to publish. softcore.
