I always find these kind of fun and think I might have a stumper here. For a hint I'll say that he builds in Milwaukee, WI. Nice stuff.





Good luck!

Looks like it could be a John monteleone except he's from New York. Very Nice, I give.

Lance, at the risk of making you look foolish, how the heck did you get Sadowsky from the initials JW?
To answer your question, no it's not Sadowsky.
Keep working.

Thanks, John.

"...wanna program and make me some necks..."

In a word....no.   

I'm jammed with stuff to finish up. In addition to these seventeen shredders, I have a batch of six OMs, some custom inlay to finish up, and my golf game is beginning to suffer from neglect.

Jeez, John, you have time for golf too?! Just wondering, are you running a one-person shop, or do you have employees/apprentices?

Golf is like heroine; if you're hooked, you make time.   

It's just me. I had a helper/apprentice for about 6 months, but he gave up. It's just as well, my shop really isn't big enough for more than one person.
