Great news. But please don't let the excitement of being back in the shop get taken out on your shoulder.

Terry,

    Oh, you mean my high tech, surgically clean and meticulously
organized shop.

   We'll, I should probably get over with bursting any bubbles that may
exist concerning it.

   It's simply my humble two car garage connected to my hous that was
quickly modified to include a spray boot the measures 7ft. X 15ft. and a
machine room that measures 14ft. X 22ft.

    We had gotten some short notice on the closing date of the home we
now live in and had to make the move into bith house and shop in just
ten days when we bought it. I never even got to spacle and paint the shop
wallsbefore we moved in and haven't been able to since so there a very
unfinished look to the whole place. It is cozy and looks worked in though
with lots of dust and wood chips between sweepings and vacuumings.

    My old shop was an 1800 sq. ft. space behind my last house with a
large 10ft. X 16ft. booth that had a positive air pressure entrance way to
keep dust away from the booth and finish and in the shop.

    I was able to have all of my larger machines openly accessible for
operation there, but have been forced to keep more than a half dozen
large pieces in a facility away from my shop where I go to run them about
once a month or so.

   I'll post a few pics of the wonder fo it all when I can. I'm an old school
guy so it may surprize and disencahant some folks.

Thanks,
Kevin Gallagher/Omega Guitars

Glad to hear you are back at it Kevin. It is unsettling when one of your ichons falls out. Now that you are back all seems better with the world.

I would very much like to see the old school shop. It would help confirm my own place

Hey thanks Kevin. You're a good sport. Get on eof the boys to get a pic or two of you demonstrating your favorite things. We just appreciate you, and would all love to get to visit with you. It's always fun to visit other people's messy shops, and know that great work is being done there. Inspirational, not disenchanting.

Kevin-

It's good you are able to return to something you love. It's good for us too - it makes us feel better knowing you are back at it.

Peace-
