new flexible dust collection hose kits will stay where you put them.

Some neat squares that wrap around corners.

What's the Bruce the little copy cnc mill? You can buy one of those fairly cheaply online. problem is it's so small you really can't do much with it...but it would cut some neat flat sided lures.

Hey handyman, my partner in finish carpentry is a luthier (guitar builder) also. Check out his web site: maguireguitars@cox.net

handyman, you are correct.  Rick & I have been working together for several years. His guitar business is not enough to support his family. Once his reputation builds he'll be all set. His archtop solid bodies are sweet. He is now setting up for acoustics which is how he started as an apprentice in Ireland.
