I’ve been moonlighting the past few months doing custom inlayed pickguards and name plaques. If you’re a serious musician I don’t think there’s a better way to get your name out than having it on your guitar or instrument.

It’s also a known fact that my pickguards and name plaques will help promote record sales, and to boost show attendance through brand recognition. Ha Ha!!

My inlay jobs are 100% crafted by hand. So if you’re a serious musician drop me a line and have me build you a custom guard or plaque. You can see some of my recent inlay projects here.

Last week while searching for a decent wood/metal band saw, I found another Delta 24’’ scroll saw for parts. It came with an original stand, a belt guard and a few other really nice parts.  Last night I combined the best of both to end up with this smooth running, and in my opinion, beautiful looking, 60 plus year old scroll saw that I’m sure will last another 60 or more years.

There’s quite a few people that love old American made tools but you’d have a hard time finding one that loves them more that myself. You’d also have trouble finding someone who hates the imported crap they sell as ”tools” now days more than I do. They always seem to fail just as the warrantee is up. I find it so annoying. Here’s a few shots of some of the details I like.
