Ha! My bank account has been adequately drained this fortnight lol. I've spent way more than I've made
That said, I've amassed a router and a jigsaw in the past week so I'm starting to get the wood working tool collection up. Dunno about scarf joints yet though. Been a long time since woodwork in high school. I might have a crack at assembling some set neck kits before I take that leap.
I'm starting to get the impression that I'm not the only person here who'll stray far from the beaten path just for the sake of carving ones own path.
