Mastodon 🐘

BobginpghOn to the fingerboard for the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Bass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bass</a> 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. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/pghmaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pghmaker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/luthier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#luthier</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/bassguitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bassguitar</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/wood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wood</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodworking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/cnc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cnc</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/empireofdust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#empireofdust</a>

BobginpghAfter the prototype I’ve been working on the final pieces of the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/bassguitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bassguitar</a> project. The curly maple neck gets a fair amount of handwork off the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/cncrouter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cncrouter</a>.

BobginpghFinished testing toolpaths on the New Perspectives <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Bass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bass</a> kit.

BobginpghMore testing for the New Perspectives Music <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/bass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bass</a> kit.

BobginpghFirst glue up of the coffee table top. I’m doing it in 2 stages because I was a little worried about the Titebond ll Dark starting to setup as I fumbled with such a big (44” square) glue up.

This one needed a bath in Evaporust, a little fettling for past abuse, and an unnecessary paint job. I turned handle from some scrap & mounted it in my outfeed/assembly table.

BobginpghThis well used and abused Wilton Bullet vise has been under the bench for a few years.

BobginpghThis well used and abused Wilton Bullet vise has been under the bench for a few years. Time to do a basic refurb starting in my new 5 gallon bucket of Evapo-Rust. This will need some mill work, a new handle, and a shop made set of jaws.

BobginpghI built these Adirondack chairs from plans in Norm Abram’s Classics from The New Yankee Workshop book about 25 years ago. They’ve been out in the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/pittsburgh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pittsburgh</a> weather all those years and needed a tuneup. A little sanding and screw tightening and they’re good as new plus a little patina. The redwood from Brookside lumber has held up pretty well all these years. . . . . . <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/pghmaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pghmaker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/helloimakeis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#helloimakeis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/wood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wood</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodworking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/normabram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#normabram</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/newyankeeworkshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newyankeeworkshop</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/chair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chair</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/adirondack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adirondack</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/empireofdust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#empireofdust</a>

BobginpghWhen we finally cut the cord, we lost the clock on the Xfinity set top box. It’s the thing we miss from the cable service. I ordered a cheap LED clock kit. Easy assembly, but I don’t think I ordered a clock that displays time in Klingon. Third pic shows the less than successful result. Only 8 bucks and an hour or so lost. . . . . . <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/pghmaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pghmaker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/helloimakeis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#helloimakeis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/soldering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#soldering</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/kit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kit</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/empireofdust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#empireofdust</a>
