Ok finally got most things in !! just recieved 3 packages with funn stuff, like chisels, "blue Spruce" and LN. bliss blockplane from LN and also lots of goodies from John Hall, woods, concave disks, etc etc. also bought a 18" bench model drill press and most machines needed. well you can see for your self on the photos. Its an early christmas with gifts to myself :lol: :lol: .
Also tried to scary sharp on the new chisels, and it went great, was nervous I would mess up these beautiful chisels. :)

Thank you all for looking and helping out, if it weren´t for this forum, you guys, I wouldn´t have had anything in the shop !!. :)

Arnt, most machines are new, the bandsaw has a few years of use on it, but Ive greased her up and gone through her, so she´s like new 8-) . this sounded wierd hahaha :lol: :lol: :lol: God Jul till dig och din familj.

Chuck: I still have a lot of laundry to do. :D :D
Michael: it looks great up there doesn´t it ;)

Lars.

PS/What method would you suggest using on building a guitar-mold ? Bandsaw or router ?.

It looks fantastic Lars. [clap] I made my mold with a bandsaw, sander and router. I make the "master" template, bandsawing close to the exact dimensions and cleaning it up with a sander and hand tools. Bandsaw the others relatively close to the line then use the router with a flush bearing bit to make them the same. Some indexing pins through all of them will make sure they all align.

That is a kickin' bandsaw btw. :D

Lars.... Man you must have felt good getting that stuff in the mail! You sure chose some top shelf goodies! You're gonna be having a lot of fun. Those Blue Spruce chisels look so cool. I need to think up an excuse why I can't live without a few! :) Congratulations.

Fine looking shop, Lars!
A place like that should inspire some great instruments.
(I like the bandsaw, too.)

The shops looks great Lars.

Todd Stock did a great tutorial on making bending forms and molds.
