I'm clearing out my workshop entirely. I have lots of guitar forms and fixtures, veneers, pre-cut back braces, guitar plans, etc. I'm offering this stuff for free. It would pain me to simply pitch this stuff but it all has to go!!

Just a note to all OLFers--

Some of my best tools/materials have come from visiting a guitar maker who is either getting out of the endeavor entirely, or downsizing. I'm not sure which is true for Tom. Either way, a visit to his shop to help him accomplish his goal can be extremely rewarding. I wish I were closer, and that I had not already done this about four times already. I am sure Tom has some real treasures. If you are within a few hours of Tom's shop, I highly recommend scheduling a time to visit.

A group of us within driving distance of Columbus, Ohio once arranged to all meet at the guitar maker's shop at the same time. It was a nice get together, and I got some great stuff.

I'm trying to arrange a local-ish friend to come pick up, if you haven't dispositioned everything.

I would run up if my truck was back together (I'm in the
middle of a brake job and other maintenance goodies) plus, it would be cool to meet a builder that I have had the pleasure of seeing his work up close.

Nothing firm has emerged. Still up for grabs.
