Thanks for the links Matthew; there are some very cool tools pictured on that site.

Y'know, I found that page when I was checking that guy out, before I gave him my bass ... and I was actually really impressed that he made his own tools. I don't think anyone could argue that he hasn't got the skills.

... still an arrogant bastid with no customer relations skills though. And the more I nose around Vancouver about that guy, the more it seems that his reputation isn't as good as he probably thinks it is.
