You won't believe what my workshop look like Blueshart. It's so small and cramped that I have to move and turn my table saw all the time when I need cut anything longer the 3 feet. My workbench sit on top of the washing and drying machine. I have to remove it every time we need to do some laundry : D It is very far from real dream. Anyway. I guess it's not the shop who make the luthier.

What's important is the amount of fun I have building guitar.

Thanks and have a great day.

Comment by Bluesheart on February 8, 2017 at 6:14am

Oh wow, that is the ultimate! That bar is set so high I can't even see it! Amazing build and I'd be willing to bet is sounds just as good as it looks! Well done!
