Here are some of the sites I visit frequently.

I've learned lots of neat tips and tricks from the folks over on the MIMF forum. The forum is run on a donations basis and they collect some funds from their links to advertisers. Great bunch of folks and they are more than willing to answer your questions . Even the "new builder" questions. This forum is run by Deb Suran, and I think it has been since its inception. Thanks Deb!

Here is the latest forum I've found. It is called the Official Luthiers Forum. This one is a great bunch of guys that are mostly luthiers. There are a few newbies on this one as well. This forum does not place as many restrictions on things like pricing information. The forum is run by Lance Kragenbrink, who is quite a talented builder. There's information here that can be used by those new to building as well as those who have been at it for a while. Thanks Lance and Brock for a great site!
