Hot Work

Temperatures will reach 39 this week so I am glad to be finished with the job of binding the guitars I am making. The glue is on the hotplate all day, I use a hot air gun to reheat the bindings after I clamp them with rope and then I press them flush with a hammer that has been sitting in the hot water. On the other hand, summer is a great time for me to be working because more people come to visit the guitar shops in Granada and because the humidity is low. However, if my workshop were not so cool I think I would organise some time off for the hot season.
