They said the board was beautiful.  This was a great experience for us and we certainly look forward to doing a lot of business with you. Thanks again!!"</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Whew! It was a new client, and I'm always less than 100% confident - I know my work is good, but I never know what their expectations might be. So far, so good though.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>And the four stacks of flitches (pictured in the previous post) have now been turned into four soundboard panels. On the right is the John Brinsmead, the other two standing up are S&S Ms and the 8-foot panel laying on the bench (the photo angle doesn't do its size justice) is for an S&S D. The D in having its subpanel joints cleaned up with the smoothing plane.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:000e01c767f0$a33af330$0302a8c0@DESKTOP" align=baseline border=0></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Oh, and BTW, for the two parties concerned, all shipping should occur tomorrow morning.

I've set a personal record for soundboard production volume (actually, just panels in this case). Five custom panels in production at once. I just finished a soundboard panel yesterday for a S&S B (completed panel in picture) and have four other custom panel orders in production. All the individual flitches for the other four panels are in the foreground awaiting planing and jointing (S&S D on left, a 7' John Brinsmead next, and then two S&S Ms to the right).</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>This is so much fun I actually considered working on these panels instead of my usual Saturday morning bike ride - but I didn't (brrrrrrr..... brutally cold - don't think it ever got above 65 degrees.......). Worked on 'em all day today though (except for a good mid-afternoon Clint movie!).</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Ahhhhh, the brutal life of the self-employed!  ;-)</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:000f01c767f0$a33d6430$0302a8c0@DESKTOP" align=baseline border=0></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
