Thanks to Ian for the warm welcome in the newsletter, I really appreciate the support and am excited to be here!
I’m Brad from Strings Micro Factory and Combs Instruments (@cbcguitars on Insta). My focus with the Micro Factory is building tools, jigs, and systems that help builders get consistent, repeatable results so you can spend more time on the fun parts of instrument making. I build acoustic guitars and ukuleles as Combs Instruments.
I’m looking forward to working with LoothGroup members, collaborating on Strings Micro Factory projects, and contributing to the forum however I can, whether that’s sharing ideas about building instruments, jig making, workflow improvements, or just loothing together.
Also, keep an eye on the Strings Micro Factory sponsor page — we’ll soon be setting up weekly Zoom office hours where you can ask questions, see live demos, and hear feedback from folks who participated in the test group.
If you ever have questions, ideas, or feedback, don’t hesitate to reach out. Happy building!
