home depot

Home Depot was founded in 1978 by Arthur Blank and Bernie Marcus. They, along with Ken Langone and Pat Farrah, wanted to offer a one-stop shop for people who are do-it-yourself types. In 1979, Home Depot opened its first two retail stores, 60,000 square feet each, in Atlanta, Georgia. Since then, Home Depot's growth has continued at a rapid pace.

As of 2008, Home Depot has approximately 2,000 stores, averaging over 100,000 square feet in size, and can be found in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam.

Home Depot is currently headquartered in Vinings, Georgia.

• Rimu Build

  
  Telecaster Guitar Forum — Authority: 451
  Found a plank of rimu that had been tucked away in the garage for a while, took it to a joiner who kindly cut into it and glued up a two piece blank for me. It started out at 45mm, but was a bit twisted. After thicknessing and sanding Im left with a touch over 40mm, also not the lightest, so Im guessing a thinline ...

• Wiring two jacks to one guitar

  
  Telecaster Guitar Forum — Authority: 451
  From memory the ROS extra socket is just a normal stereo jack. If you use two mono jacks (one for each pickup) you would have problems playing both pickups into the one amp. Unless you were to have two cables from the guitar, of course...)

• Cut fret slots before or after gluing on fretboard?

  
  Telecaster Guitar Forum — Authority: 451
  .5" to .75" behind the nut sounds good then for the extra fretboard length. I checked a blem GFS neck that I have and it seemed to have a 1.5" radius at the transistion from the nut to the peg head...a 3" sanding drum, properly applied, should do the trick.
