What's on your workbench?

[Paul Craig]

 This could be git related or not. So, what's on your workbench at the moment?

I have 4 scarf joint necks in different stages of work.

A 25" scale pine 5 string neck for a Banjo-Res, A 25" scale Red Oak neck for my 6 string Strat-Res build, A 24 & 1/2" scale Red Oak neck for my 6 string Double Cut Tele build and a 27" scale 6 string Baritone Conversion neck for a Modern Strat body I have.

Good score. Will the metal toolbox work for a git?

[Sean]

Standup bass maybe, Paul? It's on the huge side. The toolbox needs to be sorted, probably 35-40 lbs right now with all the stuff. I plan on using the bucket mostly.

Mike, nice find on the license plate. Let us know how the Makerspace is where you are. No one else seems to build at one, or at least didn't reply about it.

[Paul Craig]

That's a nice toolbox, might want to keep it as one. ;)

Stand up bass does give me an idea though. I have a old metal Mail Box sitting in the garage. :)

This weekends project, slowly coming along. Oh and also ordered way way too many parts off ebay after selling a few boxes, Only to realise i will be expecting at least twenty different packages over the next few weeks

Nice "rustic" plate. Like your headstock design.

Working on another 6 string

That looks very interesting. Always liked a Bigsby type tremolo.

A guy over on the TDPRI Guitar Forum is using a big engraved Silver Serving Plate to make his pickgard and control plate. He probably has enough for the neck plate and jack plate too.

I though to myself, What a great idea? Why didn't I think of that? You could probably cover the entire front of a cigar box with one of those. I see them in garage sales and thrift stores all the time. Polishing them from time to time might be bothersome, but the look would be worth it.

I saw that before done may need to look into it.

I got a pic of the guy's Tele with the pieces on it.

Here is where I am at today. Spent a few hrs on it

[Paul Craig]

Looking great. What wood are you using for the through piece and neck?
