I am taking ALL of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to clean my shop as I am hosting the Northern California Association of Luthiers (NCAL) semi monthly meeting on Sunday, 9/21/14. I expect around 50 or 75 folks interested in Guitarmaking to show up, many of them pros, and I will do a presentation on my fret slotting systems. I have two, somewhat related, and I have never seen another to compare. Mine are simpler, faster, and more versatile than others I've seen, giving nothing away as far as precision is concerned either. If I were so inclined I could make hundreds of dollars a lifetime sell them, too! Pretty small market.
There will be other presentations as well as show and tell and a smattering of materials for sale, including a few of my own long hoarded sets which I doubt I'll ever get around to using. Anyway, if any of you are in the Bay Area and are so inclined, the meeting starts at 1 pm and you'd be welcome.
