Here's a quick pick of the updated workshop,  its a cozy little nook in the basement but at this point I feel like I have just enough room,  its nice!  I don't think you can see all the horns on the shelves but at this point there are 12 saxophones and probably just as may clarinets that I will be going over.   These are all personally owned and will be re-homed once completed.

On the bench in this pic is a 1920's HN White King alto which is satin gold plated and has a smashing engraving to boot.  I'm waiting for some pads up to complete this project, but surely I'll be updating here once I'm done with this horn.   Even right now it plays pretty well,  honestly its a smokin' horn!! The neck was pulled down a bit and therefore the neck to neck socket fit was loose and leaking.  I spent some time re-rounding the socket and then expanding the neck tenon for a perfect fit.  Once about 1/4 of the pads are replaced and some adjustments are made this baby will be ready to go!!
