Hey Dave

Recommend you make a copy of the file to load up. Then your original Google sheet won’t be altered by another user in the shared file. You can do that by going to file and click ‘make a copy’ and you should be good to go. That will allow you to make changes should you find errors without having to start all over. Let me know if you need any help with it. I use it pretty frequently.

I am far from a master, but I have found, as with all things, the more practice I do the better my results. I have cut at least 50 nuts for my own telecaster and each one has been an improvement. The reason for those improvements have been recognizing what I did wrong, but also asking questions and paying attention to the learning materials available, especially through this group.

There has not been a single negative interaction with this group, which is a testament to its purpose. As a high school math teacher, I have never turned away someone that was truly interested in learning, and the masters of this group have proven to be tremendous teachers and more than willing to offer advice and tips.

As for my own learning, I picked up a couple guitar on marketplace and have ripped them apart with the sole purpose of improving my skills. Yes, one must buy tools and materials with which to practice, but it is a dang good feeling to do a setup for someone and have them come back saying the guitar has never played better.

I must admit that I did a couple jobs that I had never done previously on guitars that were not mine, but I studied a lot and asked questions prior to taking it on and they weren’t jobs that I was petrified of completing. I am still wildly scared of doing finish repair because I’m colorblind and have zero desire to blend a red shade and think it looks good to blend a brown that I think is red.

This group is full of incredible knowledge and the desire to share it. I couldn’t be more happy to be a part of it and look forward to improving my skills thanks to the members of this group.
