Fishing with Dave
by Otto D'Ambrosio on September 24th, 2012
This is a great day to be out of the shop. The first cold front of the season, there was a slight chill in the air come 5am. Catching the sunrise, on the water, going fishing with shop mate Tobias and long time friend Dave Cornell. Dave is one of the best anglers on these rivers up here. I like to think he can talk to the fish like I talk to wood, but really he knows what they are thinking. This is why Tobias landed this beautiful Striped Bass. Awesome Fish, great day. Thanks Dave.

New Shop Help
by Otto D'Ambrosio on September 05th, 2012
With all the projects and events in the next few weeks I'm so happy to have a extra hand around the workshop. Meet Tobias Lindberg, a luthiere student from Stockholm Sweden. This talented lad will help finish off the some of the new guitars and move on some of the forgotten shop repairs and restorations. I'm so happy to have this opportunity to share some of the things learned through the years with a wonderful student eager to listen. In this picture Tobias just removed a top from a 1960's Martin 000-18.
My favorite Intern Tobias.
