My first go-bar deck! Very cool. Love that I can adjust the height, there are likely hundreds of uses for this besides clamping bracing down.

Now doing #buzzfeiten retrofits on electric guitars and basses! It's a neat little system, if anyone wants to read into it. #lutherie #guitarrepair #woodworking #guitar #bfts

New toy for sound holes! Next I'll be building a mini router table using the Dremel base for small materials. #lutherie #guitarbuilding #acoustic #woodworking #tools

Refret on an old Saturn that was played flat! First time dealing with a zero fret, too. #lutherie #saturn #refret #guitar

Here's a banjo that had just a portion of a 5th trying friction tuner stuck in the neck. A quick heat up with a soldering iron and some mini vice grips and she slid out with no damage to the instrument! #banjo #lutherie #diy

Installed some orbitals on my personal banjo! It's fun working in the shop after hours. Now I can learn those neat little detune tricks the bluegrass boys do! #lutherie #banjo #bluegrass

A nice figured #grenadilo back being prepped for rough shape and thicknessing! #lutherie #guitarbuilding #guitars #woodworking

Drilled the new holes to replace these terrible economy tuners with... 2014 economy tuners! Now he won't need pliers to tune the A string ;) #lutherie #silvertone #tuners #guitars
