What are YOU up to, DIY/projectwise? Ask for help?

This is it right now, waiting on a bridge (should be coming in the mail Wednesday). Need to fabricate a nut. Leaving the singlecoil it came with in it for the moment, just in case it doesn't sound like total shit.

Once I figure the pickup situation out I'll get a mirror pickguard made... which should make it nice and flashy

I already love it, keep the pics coming!

Stripping and refinning a Washburn Froce 40 Matsumoku through neck. Turns out under the paint was a thin veneer over the through neck, thin enough I went through trying to sand out the gouges from previous hack job attempt at stripping. So went all the way in an attempt to make a feature of it:



Red mahogany stain ordered.

got a Tusq nut today, and the bridge and strings came in the mail yesterday. Got a helluva lot of intonatin and setup to do, but I dig it a lot so far......

video/demo/noise and other shit to come.

Getting there, all that's left now is setup and electronics. I'm not too sure about the black knobs, but I have a few different types to choose from.

I built a still out of an old under bench hot water cylinder and started making rum. And it works!

Larch thinline, I've got a nice bookmatched mahogany top to go with it.

[Jake]

I don't want to seem to forward, but will you move in with me?

Dig. Was talking to a friend about making a chambered Tele - that's highly inspiring.


Apropos of nothing I've made more patches. These are a different waste of time than semi-functional pedals and semi-functional riffs. Keeps me off the streets and only a little on drugs. Few for a friend, testing out half-tones, and then Kraftwerk and Doom Patrol, 'cause why not.

[Mr. Foxen]

Checked on hardware for some decision making:

[spookstrickland]

That shit was fucking funny as heck!

[AgentofOblivion]

Edit:  Wrong thread.

I BUILT A THING

[Jake]

Fuckin aye, you did!

Wait. No handles or wheels? You some sort of sadist?

[RacerX]

No shit. You gotta cut in some handles, dude.

[VOLVO)))]

Needed it sealed for faster break in. Handles come soon as I get back into town.

[AgentofOblivion]

What speakers did you buy?  And did you use some software to calculate the ideal box dimensions or did you just wing it?

[VOLVO)))]

Eminence Governors. No reinventing the wheel, no reason to. It's basically a real pretty, really well build Orange 2x12. (considerably cheaper than one.)

[Jake]

Well done, Jake)))! Love the natty wood, like Emperor and Atlas cabs.

Myself, I can't stop hacking apart perfectly good Sunn combos. They're just so much more useful to me as heads. Here's a before and after of yesterday's mutilation.

[VOLVO)))]

Thought you were selling it?!

[VOLVO)))]

Ill buy it as a head, one day, when you tire of it...

[VOLVO)))]

There, handle lovers.
