Hello all!

I am not a maths wizard but I find numbers fascinating just the same. I am a web programmer (mostly logic based stuff, nothing too deep), and a luthier by trade. I have been developing some interesting patterns lately involving the iteration through an x,y coordinate grid testing the points and plotting them if the equation solves. I'll post more in the other sections.

Great stuff in here. Thanks for all of your participation!

Hi Myka, and welcome.

A Luthier, wow, that is a skilled trade. Any special instruments?

Re: Hello all!

Thanks for the welcome MathIsFun!

I build a variety of guitars, mostly custom, so they are all a little special. But I really enjoy building smaller archtop electric instruments like this one:

And this:

I have a website: http://www.mykaguitars.com

It is a fun craft and so enjoyable. I just cut up some salvaged wood from a a friend's property. Now I get to wait 2 years for it to dry enough to use. The excitement!

If you get a chance, check out my recent post on my image patterns I have 'discovered'. I wonder what they are?

Re: Hello all!

They are gorgeous!

I like working with wood, but still cannot imagine the care you would need to produce something like that.
