One of the things that I love so much about our FB group is that people are so supportive and encouraging. When Randy Underwood made a post stating that the group name should be changed to, 'The Small Wooden Box Guitar Builder' the group admin firstly thought that it may lead to some negative interactions. Oh how wrong we were! Instead, group members commented and interacted in such a positive fashion. Putting forward great points of views and examples.

There are days when I really think that I should never have started selling my guitars. I look at my Facebook group friends and marvel at the work they are doing. I'm often very envious of those builders (like our friend Darren Mac) who build for themselves purely for the love of it. TBH though, it's been a saving grace over the years (financially) to be able to sell them. So, spend some time with us as I whine and moan about selling on the internet.

His enthusiasm is totally infectious and his guitars always sound great. So, it only makes sense that I would eventually choose to build a few guitars using his techniques.

Introducing Darren MCDonald
I've known Darren McDonald for a couple of years. He builds roots instruments from reclaimed timbers and recycled boxes with an integrity that totally inspires me. He is a builder who isn't afraid of a challenge and always has time to say, "Hi" and give a helping hand. So when he agreed to co-host the show with me I was thrilled. I hope you enjoy the new format of the show and we would appreciate any constructive feedback.
