Just wanted to Thank Sylvan Wells for all his hospitality and sharing. I don't know about the rest of you folks but when Sylvan offered up a "Jig Seminar" for only $250. I jumped on it. Unfortunately, due to lack of interest it was "cancelled". HOWEVER, Sylvan was nice enough to extend an invite to me anyway which I gladly accepted. He was kind enough to spend several days, prior to the Symposium, explaining and demo-ing his jigs and other building techniques. His wife is a wonderful woman and a great cook as well. You guys missed it! Anyway, a heart felt THANKS to my friend...Sylvan!
P.S. Thanks also for the intros to some realy cool Luthiers! and all the great stuff!!

HERE ARE SOME PICS OF SYLVAN'S SHOP:

THESE ARE JUST PART OF THE MAIN SHOP. THERE ARE OTHER ROOMS...FRETTING, REPAIRS, SPRAY BOOTH, DRYING, AND WOOD STORAGE, NOT TO MENTION SHOW ROOM AND ENTRANCE AREA. I MUST ADMIT... I HAVE SHOP ENVY...

Wow, what an incredible work space! My entire shop is about the size of the room shown in the last picture. As my Dad would of said, I wish I had Sylvan's shop and he had a better one.

Like Sprockett said:

Envy!!! Forget that!!!

The word that came to my mind was "demoralizing".
After looking at Sylvan's shop I want to go throw sticks at mine. I will never be that organized, that logical, that tidy.

Sylvan, my hat is off to you. No wonder you produce such nice instruments.

technitool is running a messiest workstation contest. I think I'm going to win with the workbench that has a wood lathe buried under a ton of other stuff, but you guys can always try.
