I was on the neanderthal subforum and chatting with Stan Covington and Scott DelPorte for a bit.
Stan had mentioned the Japanese way of a portable (but very functional) workshop at the beach.
Scott had mentioned that luthiers don't necessarily need a roubo, as we mainly work with thin veneers.
Meanwhile, my guitar building maestro/teacher is building in his ex-wife's hot, stuffy, dusty garage.
Has anyone thought of an outside, portable (enough to fit a hatchback) guitarbuilding setup?
I've been working on mine for a while, and may unveil it after testing/tweaking it a bit.
It'll involve sawhorses, a japanese-style planing bench/beam, a jointing bench hook, a portable-ish vise and some systainers (with chisels, folding saws, rasps, spokeshave, clamps, planes, glue, etc). It may take an additional year, as I move veeeery slowly.
In the meanwhile, I'd appreciate if anyone else has a setup...I'd love to see it!
