Making Sausage

• Mystery Tools—You must pass this test before you get to click any of the other buttons on this page.  (Just kidding.)
• Man The Toolmaker—In my workshop are many tools I've purchased, but the most indispensable tools are the ones I've made myself.
• Bending The Sides—Most of the bending on one of my guitars is done with this bending machine.  A little bit gets done by hand, though.
• Bandings & Purflings—This job looks messy when you start, but before it's done all that oozy glue is gone.
