i know.. we take so much for granted.
i thought of putting together a package with maybe a glass bow building "kit" for him, air hose, some simple lams, glass, plain riser blocks, smooth on, string material etc etc- just to get him started- seems pretty resourceful- could build his own lam grinder i bet, and mill some pallet wood for lams etc-just looking at his riser wood!
thanks
