Well besides watching the news about Katrina, I managed to get the shop back in *almost* working order, built some new cabinets with storage and got things organized. Now it's time to buy wood for the next year of builing
Here are some pics of the new space setup:
This is all my clamps put up on the wall, I realized AFTER I did this that I have more upstairs in the office area so I'll have to add onto this (can't have enough clamps).
This is the new stand for the drill press, it's a rockler stand that I added a drawer, and storage space with a door below. It's nice and sturdy and I have a place for all my drilling needs now.
This is the other cabinet that I built for the grinder and the tormek, two drawers, two doors and lots of storage, one side is all shelves inside and the other is open for larger items. It has a glossy top of shellac that I built up over a couple of days to help keep the top nice.
This is my storage rack for bodys and guitars in the white stage, next to that is some tops with rosettes that I keep around (there are two classical tops there too, that are fully braced and waiting on wood from the zootster!!)
Storage space for all the wood, plans, parts and jig pieces.
Needed a place to put my sander so I figured this space was not being used, worked out really nice...
So I'm finally just about ready to start building again, I have a photo shoot coming up with a local guy and then once that's done I'm off to start making more guitars..
The kicker is that we have wanted a shop like this for a long long time and now it looks like we might move to Boise before the year is out
Things are happening very quickly around here and it looks like we might have two opportunity's that we can't pass on, if that happens then I have to pack all this up and move again (hopefully for the last time in a long while!!)
Anyway just thought I would share with the *family*
Cheers

)...And to top it off, you even have guitars in progress! I can have either/or...a guitar going, or a clean shop...but NEVER both!
