Today Pepper had surgery to remove a benign tumor from her eyelid, had her teeth cleaned, and ears flushed out.

She has to wear the collar for 10 days.













Getting help from Fred scratching her itch.

21st - 32 degrees and sunny

After a hard day of work, I have to come home and work hard some more.


Fred does do the dishes afterwards.

20th- High about 40

Worked on the guitar again today. Getting close to being done finally. I thought I should show a few more pictures of the construction process.

Here is the full scale plan drawing and a template.








The sound board after routing out a channel for the soundhole rosette. I didn't realize at the time that classical guitars have a smaller soundholes than steel string guitars.

I am building a steel string but it has the classical rosette and soundhole. I hope it doesn't reduce the volume too much.








Hard to tell with all the clamps but this is the neck/headstock.













Starting to look like something here.
