Kurt the Lefty

Kurt Brunner, from the Christian Ministry "Help for all Nations" (in Austin) came by the shop yesterday for a BBQ and to pick up his custom guitar.

Since neither I nor my brother can play left handed, we were just as excited as Kurt was to hear it. The guitar really sounded amazing, we were all very pleased with it.

New Detail Shop

We turned half of a room into a shop so we can have a place for detail finish work. I built a cabinet with a work bench on top. The work bench has room underneath it so we can clamp anything anywhere on the table.
It isn't anything special, and as you can see... I build guitars better than I do cabinets, but it serves it's purpose well. We now have TONS of storage for tools & wood.





The cabinet measures 13' in length, and the table on top is 2' deep. It is extremely stable, it won't move no matter how much force you put on it.

I will eventually put some molding along the edges & corners and stain it, but we need to spend the time working on guitars. As you can see, a few of them are in the works!
