Jay Dickinson --- I am a local luthier and have been doing this full time for several years now.  Out of the ratrace and doing something worthwhile.  I call myself Portland Guitar and you can visit me and see how I go about building at www.portlandguitar.com.  Portland is a wonderful place to work from.  When asked I tell people that 80% is the design of the instrument, 10% is the material, 5% is the exellence of execution, and 5% is magic.  There is nothing else in the world like hearing a hand made instrument for the fisrt time.  I am particpating in an art project this October called Portland Open Studio.  I would like to invite you to learn more at www.portlandopenstudios.com
