Guitar class again

I did in fact make it to the second installment of my guitar-making class. A few people in the class were like me -- not really sure if they were going to continue with the class. My expectations were pitched pretty low for today's class, and I actually had a lot of fun. We did nothing except bullshit about random guitar stuff for three hours. We also looked at some design plans a few of us actually completed, and we looked over some wood samples. There was a cool wood called cocobolo (spelling?) -- very hard and dense, heavy as a gold bar and probably costs as much.

I got a guitarmaking book over the weekend -- strictly steel-string and classical-style acoustic guitar-making. I think I want to make a little parlor steel-string guitar. Parlor guitars are tiny compared to a typical acoustic. It seems like a complicated process, but also fun. We'll see.

In other news, it looks like we need to get a new hot water heater. The one we have started to leak a little bit just a few days ago. The beginning of the end. So maybe we'll get a solar heater, or maybe one of those tankless ones.
