my Vega Little Wonder, I have found it is indeed a wonder...

Disassembled and rebuilt this vintage Craftsman (1940’s) cross slide vise today and it’s now a smooth operator. They truly don’t make them like this anymore. Starting with a batch of custom tailpieces. Test samples in aluminum, final in nickel silver. #craftsman #vintagetools @ Brooklyn, New York

here they come...! #shortscale

Just finished up rehab on this cool Gibson EB0. In addition to a full set-up it got a full rewire and new Hipshot bridge. It’s a rocker. #gibsonbass #shortscale #shortscalebass

I know everyone’s all into their vinyl, but I’m loving the warm, warbly, analog, quirky greatness of my vintage Robyn Hitchcock tapes. This one was an absolute score when I found it back in the day. @robynhitchcockofficial #cassette #tapedeck #blacksnakediamondrole

We luthiers have been mastering the art of social-distancing for years. Spent the day prepping bodies for final finishing. #frenchpolish #guitarfinishing #shellac #shortscale #hollowbodyguitar

John Lennon said life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans. I say Shellac is the finish I use while I’m busy researching other finishes. Mixing up a fresh batch of 1lb/cut dewaxed blonde. #shellac #frenchpolish #guitarfinishing

Making necks. Backstraps glued up, head caps lined up and ready for glueing. #headstock

Great night watching @dennislichtman and @jake_sanders play an intimate house concert hosted by the generous @samaraym and @rickmidler Perfect environment to hear these amazing players and their fantastic vintage instruments that included a 1918 Gibson L4 and National Resophonic tri-cone tenor guitar.

Binding day! #spiraldowncut @whitesiderouterbits

Got one of these situations going on today... #clamps
