I visited Luis of LfdM Guitars and Ukuleles again and as promised I took some more pictures. These are of his assembly area, benches and LOTS of hand tools, I loved it. More posts and pictures will be added
Here is some of Luis's wood stash..........yes lots of old goodies. The block of wood by itself and being handled by Luis is Brazilian rosewood. He has it all marked out to use for bridges.
Thanks Jon......your the best, buddy. Now the bad news stupid computer has turned 6-8 photos into files the I can't upload. I will put up what I can and see if I can get the others up. Best laid plans of mice and men and ukulele fanatics and all that stuff.
Luis is working on 3 tenors and something very new. A baritone with 4 strings........yea ok.......and a baritone with 6 strings as in a small classical guitar. He has developed both with a 23" scale length so you can use classical guitar strings. His reason for this is the much greater selection and quality of strings.
Awesome Dave! How do you not just put a green sticker on the wall under the ukes hanging, you know like an art gallery does to show that a piece is sold. In other words I couldn't visit Luis without saying Wow I want that one!
I see he has his degrees on the wall just like a doctor's office
Yes, you have quite the stable LOL. Unfortunately, as a single retiree, most of yours would likely be way beyond my means even in $C- and I'm not having any luck with lottery tickets ROTFL.

Hey Dan........trust me if I could buy them all I would. Luis is a retired mechanical engineer, hence the diplomas hanging. It explains why his instruments sound so good, he considers every single detail, no matter how small. He is a fasinating man to talk to with a wealth of knowledge that he is always glad to share.
