I glued the bubinga fingerboard to the #bass neck this afternoon. The hard maple neck is reinforced with 2 (probably overkill) carbon fiber rods and a truss rod. Inlays and side markers are Total Boat #epoxy with Black Diamond Pigments for the blue/green color. Now on to the body. #maker #pghmaker #diy #wood #woodworking #clampchamp #bassguitar #luthier #empireofdust

It arrived. My new #bass. 5 strings is messing with my only-been-playing-2-years brain. But the low D is sooo nice.

On to the fingerboard for the #Bass project. Made from a piece of Bubinga I’ve had for many years with Total Boat epoxy inlays, I’m installing the frets here using my drill press and an eBay fret press caul. The frets are precut and radiused from Bitter Root Guitars. #maker #pghmaker #diy #luthier #bassguitar #wood #woodworking #cnc #empireofdust

After the prototype I’ve been working on the final pieces of the #bassguitar project. The curly maple neck gets a fair amount of handwork off the #cncrouter. It’s just about ready for finish. Shout out to New Perspectives Music for the plans. #maker #pghmaker #diy #wood #woodworking #luthier #bass #cnc #empireofdust

Finished testing toolpaths on the New Perspectives #Bass kit. Only broke two 0.024” carbide end mills dialing in the feeds and speeds. Next up is processing the hardwood for the final version. The body will come out of the slab behind the prototype. #maker #pghmaker #diy #luthier #cnc #cncrouter #xcarve #wood #woodworking #luthier #bassguitar #empireofdust

More testing for the New Perspectives Music #bass kit. I got the toolpaths working to cut the neck on the diagonal on my Inventables 1000mm #xcarve. Test finger board next, then do it all again in good #wood. #maker #pghmaker #diy #woodworking #luthier #cncrouter #bassguitar #gizmosity #empireofdust

Testing toolpaths and feeds & speeds on scrap construction lumber before committing to good material. This bass is based on a design made available by Tim Sway at New Perspectives Music #maker #pghmaker #diy #cnc #cncrouter #xcarve #wood #woodworking #luthier #bass #bassguitar #empireofdust

I think Jimmy Diresta once talked about the potential of an empty bench on the Making it podcast with Bob Clagett and David Picciuto. This bench hasn’t been this clear since I moved to my current shop. New projects incoming.

Today for my lunchtime jams, I am bringing with me my beloved #Ibanez SRH505F Guessing Stick, on which I am woefully out of practice

#Introduction #introductions

Hey since I only started using #mastodon again only lately, I'm resending my #introductions note in the hope for other people with similar interests or same geographical location as myself to connect with. I am on a mission to eventually quit FB for good so I'm gonna check out how it works here.

Some of the things i do and like to do are:

#stayathomedad #fatherofone #bassguitar #punkrock #chess #vinylcollection #ecology #ruralpunx #miniaturepainting #warhammer #DIY #camping #boardgames #witchcraft #homesteading #gardening #agnostic #anarchy

thanks and have a nice day everybody :)

#Introduction
Hey im back again on a new account since i couldn't remember the old password, and also am halfway there out of #facebook.  Ive had #mastodon for some time now but for some reason i always stop coming in here...
 Is there a way to make mastodon easier to use in a way to get more people on it, without sacrificing it's ethos and principles? Because i think th biggest problem stems from the simple fact that there are not enough ppl on it yet..

Anyway...
Some of my interests
