Serge,

Some of the greatest guitars in the world have been built in shops that we would all pass by as too small, too drafty or too disorganized. John Gilbert built some really outstanding classical guitars in a very cluttered shop. Most of the small shops in Spain were just a bench and a few handtools but the guitars are still the measure to which we strive to emulate.

I think the shop looks really great and very well laidout.

Many first guitars have been built on kitchen tables...which is far from a model workbench.

Thank you very much Shawn, i will remember what you just wrote, makes a lot of sense because i tend to complicate things that are supposed to be simple sometimes. The makeover, was probably the first step, the next one's gotta be working properly, avoiding unecessary risks with extension cords crossing from one bench to another, i'll be working on that tomorrow.

God bless!

That's not a fret saw that's a musical instrument. You can see the bow for it against the wall! I think it's called a Canadian violin?
