Similar to Alexis – I was playing in a couple of bands and studio projects in the mid-90s and every time some “luthier” touched my guitars they would play worse and worse. I found Dan’s book and decided I would buy a tool every time I needed some work done and figure out how to do it myself, so greatful that he broke the paradigm of “arcane knowledge” passed down in whispers in the night.
Once I was comfortable keeping my growing fleet of instruments running my friends who were sick of going to “experts” let me have a whack at theirs. Been a sometime-thing for 10 years, supporting friends and their bandmates primarily throught word of mouth.
When my wife and I bought a new house 3 years ago I was able to build a dedicated shop. Now I’m getting ready to hang a shingle on the outside for real. It will only be part time, as my day job pays too well to abandon, but doing this has made my life better in many ways.

Hi Corey! I bolted my shop stand to a cement paver with 2 pieces of 3/4″ plywood (so I could countersink the bolt heads) and glued a floor mat under it. I can drag it around without scratching the floor, but it is stable enough to handle almost anything.

Hmmm. a 16″x16″x2″ paver from Home Depot ~25# maybe? Two 16″x16″ pieces of 3/4 plywood a couple of lbs. 30 lbs-ish?
