so i think its a nice idea to introduce yourself once new on a friendly forum.
i am Christopher, from Austria, 46yrs, and I must have misread the title of the forum as "Austrian/NZ luthiers.." just kidding, I found this forum to be very informative as well as full of friendly advice and chat. so here I am.
I was given a book by a good friend of mine "how to build your own acoustic guitar" by martin koch, also austrian, so that was it for me- i was hooked - and since then I have gotten right into the thick of it, just finished my first of hopefully many om guitars, also by the help of robbie o briens videos...
now i am kind of worried, because my wife is going crazy and thinks she can "order" anything from me, she just did order a cello!!
i am truly intimidated, since there are hardly any books/plans/resources... well---I will keep you updated. in my other life, i am a doctor (gp) and like being with my family, and friends the most. i love music, woodworking, sports, good food. so my time in the workshop is usually sleeping time for normal people
thanks for having me here, and have a nice day. well-here it is day at least!
chris
