PaleMelanesian,
You are such a luthier!
My father and grandfather were harpsichord makers. Their company is called
Sabathil and Son. I'm the son of the son.
My work is a
little more contemporary and design based.
Update: I just re-made the front air dam with some PVC product from Homer's Depot. The white colour exactly matches the Prius white and It's a lot stronger than the Coroplast. Pics soon.
I'm itching to make a pair of catamaran skirts for the Pri so stay tuned.
Also, I got a tank heater for the engine so that will go in soon!

My Great Uncle was a wood worker by trade - never used power tools.

I have heaps of respect for the old timers who did it all by hand. Most of us, myself included, don't know what a days work really used to be.
I've been incorporating old hand tools into my work. Many times it's faster to grab a hand tool to do a job than pull out the power tool plus there's less dust and noise.
Love the old tools.
