I am an avid reader of the archives. Quite often I hear people= refer to their shop. I wondered if the shop is in your house,= and another building on site...or a separate building with= public access. Also after 5 years in business what is= reasonable to expect number of tunings weekly, repairs,= rebuilds, refinishing etc. Do you do all the above, none of the= above. I dont have much to compare to and am curious to see where I= stand...or should I consider a new direction. FWIW I hope to= achieve RPT in 2005.
