Holy cow bro, this is a killer lookin' axe !

I predict the loudest sound you'll ever hear and let me suggest some ear plugs for your dog, they are far more sensible to sounds than humans!

A glowing beauty Hesh.

I am thinking of moving a porcelin throne into my shop just to honor the memory of your first 9... I often feel the need for a comfortable perch to pause and reflect.

I just can not believe the quality of fit and finish you get with such a relatively small number of builds!    I am always impressed when you post pics ( as I am by everyone's, really). Great work. Hope you are feeling better.

Wow, Hesh,

Great job as always. Finish really brought that figure to life. When do you think you'll feel well enough to work on the L-00? I've been looking forward to seeing pics.

Hesh, great work, amigo!
Makes me want to break out the sister set to yours that I got from the Zootman.
Tell me, was that ropey mahog difficult to bend?

Very Nice Hesh (as always)!

I noticed the last couple of times you posted pics that Jill sent you, the necks were already attatched. Do you send them to Tony that way? If so, do you have any problema when you are buffing out the finish?

Beautiful work as usual Flushmeister! I'm also curious as to the bending and working characteristics of that mahogany as well. Can't wait to hear you describe the sound...it will be a cannon, I'm sure.

I love the new production shop and I'm sure you're glad to have a new bathroom. Since the bowl is not covered anymore by your belt sander you might consider voiding a little more frequently so as to inhibit stone formation.

One observation...that stool looks like it's a bit high for those benches. Could be a bit hard on the back! Now make sure you don't rush things and get back in the shop too early...but you've got to be dying to make some curls, chips and sawdust!

Hesh,
Man that one shines!
Great flash of figure in that wood!

Your Shop looks like "the Laboritory" said with an "Igor" axcent.

Hmmm...the new space is maybe is too new and clean for naming. Maybe we should let it age for a while, like fine wine, then the character develops!
