Jason started about the same time as Eric, but comes in the afternoon. This is his senior project, and he is doing well. Both these guys are fun to have in the shop, and I hate to take the exorbitant amount of money from them that I do, but I take it gladly to pay for supplies and overhead and stuff. I make tens of dollars per instrument! I'm gonna take a vacation on the money in about 120 years. :-)
I'll try not to overlap their progress pictures too much as I know that can get pretty boring.

I'll bet this is fun. Good for you Dave. Save up and take a trip to Portland.

Mine was to actually not get beat up again before graduation day, and I almost made it!!

Keep the pics coming Dave, this is great fun to watch their progress. And for the record, I don't think you're mean for holding back on the belt sander :) Actually, having sanded right through my fingernail once on a belt sander I kind of prefer the old-school approach!
