Padding procedureSteve, Good plan, except with all that work, you need to get part paid up front. ... From: STEVE GOODSON To: SaxophoneRepair@yahoogroups.com ...

Steve; I use one of those painter's head socks! You can get them at most paint stores. They will keep your hair out of the buffer and all that dust out of your...
Steve, I suggest a hair net. I worked at a vocational-technical school and these were required for any students with long hair working near rotating...
First your bench motor, then your buffer. It sound like you have problem with things that spin. You do use a stool and not a spin-able chair? No need to get...

Could I please have some feedback on this type of Sax. The Sax I am repadding is proving to be quite a naughty one! I am having real problems getting the low...
