update: Nov 2024
Note from John Klett 17 Nov 2024:
My availability for the rest of 2024 is going to be extremely limited to non-existent.
Normally I go off to do some travel work, or we grab some vacation time, and that will take me away for a couple weeks... but this time it's going to be longer. Some of this is just the upcoming holidays but this year we add packing up a house and moving - not our primary home or my shop - thankfully. Between this move and the normal holiday activity (which includes going to see LCD Soundsystem at Knockdown at least one of their 12 night residency there) this is going to eat up the rest of this year ... and a little bit in to January.
fun fact... ~ 9500 vinyl records weigh something like 2.8 TONS and eats up close to 100 feet of linear shelving.. (before dividers etc.).
