I just had a student finish one of my two week one on one courses. He took some wonderful photos of the building process and has given me permission to share them with all who are interested. To see the photos of a complete build in a two week period go to WellsGuitars.com and see what is new! (I cannot get the software to post the link-can anyone else do it?) |

Very nice! I gotta ask: where did you get those (inflatable?) sanding drums with extra handle? I've been looking for some for a while now... |

I can keep you posted if you're interested. By the by, I really like your bridge design... |

[QUOTE=Sylvan] Alain - Thanks so much![/QUOTE] Sylvan, no problem, my pleasure... I envy you your outstanding shop! It must have taken you a while to get all those beautiful tools, though. I've definitely learned a few good things just by looking at those photos. Thanks for sharing. |

Colin, i agree but it also gives us good tips on what to do in the future though to get a cleaner and better organized shop!

Hi Sylvan, thanks for the pictorial. I have one question if I may ask, I noticed that you use the neck jig for leveling your fingerboards, as do I, but how do you know what the proper string tension setting is prior to setting up and tuning the guitar? T.I.A. Matt |

Matt - I only use the neck jig to "lock" the guitar down so when I am working on the fretting the entire instrument is stabilized. I do NOT use the jig as I would in a refret situation. |

A conclusion must be drawn from seeing these pics: 1. Sylvan is actually retired - - OR - - 2. This isn't his Real shop - - OR - - 3. He's doing really well with the business. Because there's WAY TOO LITTLE DUST in there to be a real shop! However, if #3 above is true, then he pays someone to clean it! OK Sylvan, how DO you keep it that clean? |
