Congrats! What's the new job?
Stewart MacDonald is a great resource. I first dealt with them in 1976 for banjo parts. Couple months ago I found an old catalog of theirs from '77, with photocopied type-written pages and hand-drawn illustrations, no photos. They make a lot of good stuff, though pricey. A lot of it can be shop-made or bought elsewhere for much less, but you have to dig for it. If you like tools, they're the go-to foiks. Pretty good kits too, to get started.
