pshupe Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I didn't see a thread about this here yet? If there is already one here please bump and the mods can delete this one. But here goes. This is what is on my workbench. A new batch of stainless steel fret slotting and inlay, and head stock templates. A bunch of common ones and a couple of one offs .

Jdogg Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) I had to put my K&K build on hold as I'm a sucker for build challenges. Just finished up assembling the bobbins for a mulitscale neck pickup. Edited April 29, 2019 by Jdogg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizman62 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Is that an orbital 90 deg disk sander? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdogg Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Yeah, it's a random orbital sander clamped into an incredibly Janky stand. It rattles the shit outta the workbench, it's loud as hell, needs to be clamped down or it will literally run away on you...... But on the same token, it's savagely effective, works well when you've got a template glued on top (as the cutting action is down so you don't get the regular lifiting / fuzzies that you get with other sanders, and it leaves a nice 90 deg smooth surface. I wish I had money for one of those nice 12" disk sanders.... but... this was nearly free... and works pretty good.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjr1515 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 When you posted, this was on mine: It's a save in progress of a very nice Sei headless bass that had developed a very large crack in the top that was cupping away strongly from the centre-section. This is the gap that those clamps are closing: Here it is fixed: And the saved Sei 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizman62 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Sei, that's a lovely bass there. Wish I could show you my workbench, guitar related that is... There's an armchair behind me, loaded with a huge bag full of offcuts, sandpaper and hardware plus some tools, and the current project in a gig bag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 This is why guitar building is going slowly... Ok, so technically it wasn't on the bench when I took the photo, but it is what is hogging the bench space. That and it's far dirtier conjoined twin (next weekend's job!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshupe Posted May 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 That looks really uncomfortable to play? You might want to consider a belly and arm carve. LOL Cheers Peter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshupe Posted December 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Finished up my Norway maple SG. I cut this tree down on my neighbour's yard about 5 yrs ago and was pleasantly suprised to find it was figured wood. I've completely finished it now but still have to take some final glamour shots. I' also just finishing up a replica of a 1957 Gibson Futura build. This was the guitar that was the prototype for the Explorer. I'm just working on setup and frets now. Should be done very soon. Cheers Peter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
