John, Beautiful shop, and nice special jigs, especially the dovetail neck one. I envy you your large space, but especially your huge wood stash. Do you buy from guitar suppliers, or do you resaw your own? |

Hey nice shop there John. I certainly like the catch all table and your zoot cave. Need a window in that there cave though. Also like your body and neck mortice and tenon jig. Thanks for the great tour. |

Thanks for the tour, John! Got me yearning for more space. My favorite part was the old-timey banjo -- who was it anyway? -- played from an iPod through a tube amp to custom speakers. Great mix! |

John, very nice shop, got the craftsmanship-old-world-feel, I'll bet the tube amp with those speakers sounds great, are the horn speakers on top the tweeters? |

Nice John ... you have what I wish I had more of .. ROOM !!! I just re-orged mine to get an extra couple feet here and there, easier to get by a student working at the bench. |
