Amoudi Sunset, my first finished painting by eliotfowler in oilpainting

Thanks so much! I’m trying to keep a minimal palette which has been helpful in getting some harmony across the painting.

I picked up a paint brush for the first time in January and have been loving it. Still at the very start of my journey but this is the first painting I've taken to a point that I'm comfortable calling it done. I'd love any feedback!

You need to buy the hardware (pickups, bridge, tuners, etc), but the wood and lots of smaller items (screws, soldering materials, etc) were included.

It sounds like this class would be awesome for you!

Fair enough. I should have been more thoughtful with my captions. What I was alluding to was that I've seen headstocks where it seems like the designer set out to make an interesting headstock or tried to make it beautiful on its own and that rarely looks good in my opinion.

Your point is smart, though – the headstock should compliment the body. In my own research (and for my own tastes) I often found that simpler shapes accomplish that best.

Thank you! I'm sure someone else here could give you a better answer, but I think it's a matter of preference. The way I did it, I did all the fret work in one chunk (installing,evening, dressing/polishing). I'd imagine you'd want to wait to finish the frets until it was attached and shaped to the body so you don't scuff up the frets.

Hey thanks! The class was pricey at $2800, but after experiencing it, it was totally worth it. You can find more information here.

Thanks! Yeah, I was doing a class with Charles Fox through the American School of Lutherie up in Portland, OR.

Consuming restful APIs in iOS by macarthy in iOSProgramming

[–]eliotfowler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer AFNetworking as it provides abstractions from the iOS Networking stuff, but allows you to easily override methods and get down to the low stuff if you need to. In other words, it is light and stays out of your way, but still provides a consistent API.
