Time goes so slow! I am getting ready to move to a new place that I can actually have a shop and not have to trip over stacks of wood, machine cords, scraps, Christmas decorations in boxes, tread mills, brakes and buffers for tailpiece construction, buffers for mandolin bodies and make shift portable spray booths. The big draw back is Im not getting any mandolin work done!!!
When will it all end?! I cant wait. The first thing Im buying is a dust collector then maybe I can keep things cleaner. Anyway I will post pictures when the shop is done and everything moved in.

congrats! I bet you'll make up the time in increased efficiency and soon forget the whole hassle of moving.

..good job Keith..theres nothing like a comfortable and well mantained shop to work in..While I dont build mandos I do have a garage that I piddle in and I insist in keeping it neat, orderly and accessible. Just like a musician sounds better with good musicians around him..your products are only as good as your enviroment in which you produce them...if you know what I mean..

Sometimes you have to do the difficult thing in order to advance. Its gonna work out great in the end.

...Nothin' like a good shop to hang out in. #Best wishes on setting it up. #Do get a good vacuum system. #I have to go around and transfer hoses sometimes, but it does make a big difference. #Just make sure also your vacuum system sucks. #
Time to pack up for Front Royal. #Maybe one day I can work it out with Scott to do the Mandofest. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
