A year or so ago I got Jeff Jewitt’s “Spray Finishing” course from you, and it worked very well with my first two builds (a classical from scratch and a StewMac dreadnought kit). So, thanks to both you and Jeff! That was good experience for me to learn how to spray lacquer, etc. Robert

Just wanted to share with you that I have completed the two guitar builds I was working on, using Jeff Jewitt's “Spray Finishing” video course that I purchased from your website. I followed the course (as well as one of Jeff’s books, and used the spray guns he sells), and both guitars came out great! Robert
I have gotten a whole lot of value from buying products and information from these two fine folks (Jeff and Robbie). Don
