Shop Talk

Here's the repair shop at SSE Music. There are three of us doing the repairs. My chair is closest to the camera, then Kevin, then Eric.
My messy work bench.
A couple of vises, lots of dent tools on the wall.
Pads, screws, etc., etc....
Threaded rods, expanders, roller burnishers, and a variety of mandrels.
Chem cleaning area. Ya got your detergent, your mild acid (Slime Away), and a stronger acid (Birght Dip, which we very rarely use). Getting a full-sized tuba in and out of those barrels is a challenge, and extremely messy.
Our buffer.
