I'm just puttering in the workshop when the weather and my stamina align. No need to rush at things when it only makes the sweat drip off your brow even faster. All the commissions are completed and delivered in time for Christmas 2016.
For some reason I love the feeling of having totally cleaned slate at this time of year and getting to start afresh.
Not to say I don't have anything to do. The orders are stacking up and I decided to make a start on 6 tenors. Most I've built at one time previously has been 4 and it's a fair bit more work to prep and keep organised all the components when each instrument is customised with features, trim, hardware and timber. Must work on some sort of shelving compartments for this moving forward.
