Self taught on just about everything. Been playing bass for 3 decades but last 10 yrs not so much due to twin kids coming into my life 
.
Ironically around the same time I started getting back into playing I sliced my left index knuckle like a convertible soft top and its been stiff ever since so I don't know if I'll ever enjoy playing like I used to. This got me looking at other ways of enjoying the craft, like actually creating/tinkering with gear. Since I'd sold my bass and guitar after the injury, I just figured I'd try my hand at building my own from kits. I have swirled one guitar and another body I just finished what I'll call an "enamel pour" based on the acrylic pour art my sister does. You can seen the results in my profile pic for now (lighting doesn't do it justice!)
