What's on YOUR workbench right now?

[SlingBlader]

thank you again for humoring me, I appreciate. I shot some short clips a week or so ago so... included here for your amusement.

Yeah, very cool. The pickup has a very nice growly snort to it!

I have a bass build in progress posted here, if you're interested.

Multiscale Bass Build

Hello everyone. It's been a little while since I've posted a build thread, so here we go. :) I've been wanting to try my hand at building a multiscale instrument for a while, so a few weeks back I put pencil to paper and starting to draw something up. Most of the basic geometry will be based on...

A friend brought over an H&K ATS-120A amp head.
Crackling & cutting out.

2 - 12AX7 pre-amp tubes & solid state output finals.

Hi input seems good. Low input intermittent.

I think it’s a cold solder joint.

Check it out Tuesday evening.

Multiscale Bass Build

In the past, I've sprayed nitro lacquer for gloss finishes. Starting with this project, I decided I'd try my hand at automotive 2k urethanes. I went with the Tamco brand, because frankly they had a big sale back in November... so I pulled the trigger. :D Part of the motivation for this is the...

Technically not the actual one on my bench but my wife had me turned into a bobble head after I was pictured playing a 58. Wish I looked that good LOL

From the sublime to the routine - polishing frets, going through the grades:

Had to tweak the Moodivarius fiddle this aft.
I’m playing next weekend at Kicking’ Country. A fundraiser for our local high school music association. Hopefully see 400-ish spectators at at The Centre in our local city.
I had some buzzing on A string while sawing hard.
Scraped the fingerboard, near the nut, sanded with fine grit, then oiled.

When took the strings off, the sound post fell over, so I had to reset it as well.

Ready to Rip!

Just finished this, so now it’s off my workbench. I do have some guitar finishing work coming up in the next month, and 2 guitars to build this summer, but for a couple weeks my bench will be empty.

im putting it here cuz there isn’t any “post knives you forged” thread

This is a 10” blade made from 1095 high carbon steel, the handle is desert ironwood, and the guard and pommel are brass which I melted down and cast to shape.

Is it sharp?

see you in a few weeks with some guitar stuff…
