I went to a yardsale this morning and this guy had a big electric motor screwed into some 1x6's so I flipped it over and he had it set up as a really nice stationary sander. I got to talking to him and he said his nephew used to live with him and do woodworking. So I told him I'd take it from him ($10 bucks, not bad)...but then he asked me what I liked to build and I told him I was trying to start building guitars. He told me to come around to the side of his house that he had something I might like...Come to find out his nephew worked at the Gibson custom shop in nashville and had some "scrap" mahogany laying around...Plenty for prob. 10 bridge blanks, 2 peices that could easily be used as mandolin neck blanks, and plenty that is big enough for making knobs...Then I noticed a bunch of jigs laying there and I asked if I could buy them off of him and he said that they were no good to him just to take them...so I got a tapering jig and several others, a box of mahogany, and a nice sander for $10 bucks...All in all a good day
