I've had a student=20 assistant for 4 years, but he's about to be off to graduate school=20 somewhere. I haven't decided if I'm going to try to replace him or=20 not. He's been such a great help with tuning and repairing pianos,=20 particularly tuning the uprights for me - even the faculty members=20 don't realize I've not been not tuning their uprights. I don't know if=20= I feel like training another student again, and then losing him after a=20= few years, worrying about how much I can trust them with around the=20 shop, etc. I have to admit, it's gonna be kinda nice having the office=20= all to myself for a while again. We'll see. These benches don't just bend the brackets. They break the wood out=20 with the bracket when the leg goes. The break is so similar from bench=20= to bench that you can almost glue them back together interchangeably.
