Hesh,

Thanks for the info, I am doing another backstrip and my last was not as successful as I would have like initially and required some fixing. I will place my fence on the left as well.

I too, love to see everything you work on. I find it very inspirational, so I
have to say thank you for that.

Got any pics of the whole lot of those guitars over there? I figure your
guitars must be everywhere, just propping open doors, being used as
foot stools, etc, etc.

Guys, wait! Remember the "messy shop" thread from a little while ago? Just invite Hesh over to your shop for a day, and when he leaves your place will be spotless! He can't help himself!!! He'll give new meaning to the term "Luthier's Friend."

Ha! That's just mint! Oh well, I guess it's like they say... It's just a sign of someone with an organized mind...

Lacey,

Try Luthenon

Hesh,

Once again, beautiful work!

Once upon a time, I was that an..... uhhh, neat, but after two kids, it was either my sanity or neatness. So, I chose neatness, I think

Lacey, you have all my compassion, i have a cousin who's just like Hesh, if i want his attention, i just go in his fridge and mix it all up or eat his favorite food! but Dang, he never gets mad at me, he still thinks i'm just jokin' around and forgives me everything! Yep, you just gotta love the guy!
