I use a small carvers bench to produce componants, 24" x 4 ft, and auxilliary space on an old oks dinning table in the same room for staging parts. I recomend a larger workbench, 30" x 4 ft would do, more never hurts. > carving tools Depends on what you are building, some lutes were heavily carved, others plain. The rose can be worked with scalpel and small drills, but some use punches which you would have to make. I have a small set of gouges and carving tools which ends up involved in most projects. > measuring tools The usual, bevel guage, squares large and small, metric tapes and inch tapes. > planes Block and something long for jointing. drills -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
