The progress on the shop has gone so well that I'm starting work on three guitars next week. Here are a few photos of the shop.

Johnny, looks like a nice milling machine. Would you mind telling me what make and model it is? I'm glad you are getting the operation going and wish you a lot of success.
Jerry

Jerry, it's a Grizzly G704. It's great for small stuff.

Great looking shop Johnny, and I know your work is top notch. Good luck with your new business.

I have a 73 LDG in the shop for a refresh. It's getting all cleaned, aluminum polished and the cabinet buffed.
Here are before pics.

First, thank you Johnny for doing such a great job when you made my purple millennium, and designed the wrist lever.

Aside from restoring other steels, Have you considered building your own? If you did, it would surely be one of the finest steels on the market.

Mike, thank you sir. The idea of building my own guitar frightens me a bit. Having said that I have some ideas rolling around in my head. Time will tell.

Johnny, Thanks so much for going through my MSA Milly,
moving the ABC pedals to the right really helped, but more than that just the readjustment and tuneup made
it play the best that I recall since I bought it and changed
it from Day to Emmons. I know you built this guitar originally for Robbie, I could see a special feeling you had for it,
and now it's good as new, and did not costs nearly as much as a new one.,
Most guitars don't wear out, a tuneup does miracles.
Thanks Ron

Ron, it was a pleasure having you in the shop. That's a sweet Milly....
