Weekly Reflection #2

This week has been very packed. We worked for 56 hours over 6 days (from sunday to friday). Last week was mostly design and inventory, but this week was very different. We did do a lot of design, but it was finalizing, and setting up to build the tops. We spent a lot of time building things, too. We built a go- bar deck, a set of shelves, and two guitar tops. We visited Al Carruth and tuned our tops using his lab set up, visited a luthier's guild meeting, and looked at a violin maker's shop. I am amazed at the amount we got done. As I said before, a project like this really should be over a couple of months instead of weeks. This week has been packed with science and math as well. I have always liked science, but hated math. It is really helpful to see all the applications for the math we have to learn. This week has had so much science, my head hurts, but it is all really interesting. Over the last two days we will focus on tonewood. More inventory and processing.
