 office/shop...only 1 bench...no rebuilding.   Mostly I'm=
 "outstanding in my field"...;-]   In other words I'm a field=
 technician.   Do it in the home/studio/wherever if possible.  =
 Something you can relate to Isaac....

In my case 3-car garage became my shop. 3 folding tables,a=
 dozen+plus big file cabinets with commonly used parts,set-up to=
 fix actions,benches,music desks,pedal lyres,the most common=
 stuff,etc.Air compressor for cleaning jobs,drill=
 press,table,band saw,plenty of clamps,cheap labor from kids when=
 they were growing-up and it becomes a routine.Just remember to=
 keep peace with neighbors and life in suburbia can be beutiful.I=
 can't imagine a busy technician operating every-day service=
 calls without a shop,and it becomes a necessity to survive in=
 the pianoland jungle.,especially working for school districts.No=
 refinishing can be done in the residential area,but light=
 repairs-yes and it's a big convenience,too.No overhead by=
 renting  in the industrial area,I work in the shop 1 day a week=
 and try to process all jobs I accumulate during the week.If=
 there is a need to do uinexpected project-I can do it late in=
 the evening and skip watching Jerry Springer {just  kidding]!=
 ..Any other thoughts? Hope to see you in Kansas City in the=
 summer. Best regards. Isaac

Hi list......
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.
 
Richard
