Its interesting how many guitar makers are also into RC airplanes -- a ton of guys here and many of my customers have mentioned that as well -- My shop is getting a little cluttered with foam jets and trainers (kids and grandkids love'em)

Yes , I believe that Ken, As you know both a guitar and an R/C airplane have to be built with precision using the correct materials, proper allignments, and the correct strength /weight or its not going to perfom well. I am enjoying building this first kit as much as I enjoy my R/C airplane hobby. Jack.

Hmm, ,this got me wondering how many guys building guitars are also into knife making??
I only know of one........ME.
Any others out there?

Here are a couple I made.

Have you heard of Fred Carter? He's the one who got me started. I'm not saying these resemble anything close to the knives made by him however.

Hey George. Good for you! Those look real nice. Taperd tangs and all!
Yes, I know of Dr. Fred Carter. He also designed some knives for Garand back in the 90's.
So how long have you been making?
