  1. could be the neck is quarter sawn and the body is flat sawn, the neck wood was a little darker than the body, but mostly the angle of the sun making a shadow

  3. yes it is, kidney shaped pool filled with dirt
  4. yeah I'm in a poolhouse and it's filled in It is so funny I am building a lap steel and was trying to avoid the violin shape but I just couldn't even though mine really is not true to a real violin. I love that you just went for it. Kudos! one day i was looking at pics of strativarius violins and pulled up a les paul blueprint in photoshop and stuck the violin into the les paul outline and printed it out, just something that got into my head, there is a build thread for the first one over at MLP http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/luthiers-corner/100136-scattervarius.html
  5. i'll be back on the scattervarius II real soon, need to finish a couple other builds first, it's still hangin in there, it dont hurt to let the lacquer cure good either

  7. yes thats a fret on the tailpiece, i dont want the strings digging into the ebony, and i'll drill a ferrule block out of brass for the back
  8. did some shaping on the tailpiece today sanded down the body one more time and gave it another coat of clear
  9. worked a little on the nut today, i glued on a bone nut blank and a piece of ebony left over from the fretboard took it to the belt sander and ended up with this
  10. I'll be watching, jigs, forms and moulds, cant get enough of them
  11. i drilled for bridge studs today too this bridge will do until i make an ebony/bone one i'm working on this one too, more of a priority all scratch built too, one piece body, one piece neck
  12. i'm in the middle of a 59 burst build now and a custom jr. the world is knee deep in les paul copys, i made the violin shape just for something different for myself and have something to sell without any legal trouble, lot of people dig them so i'll keep making them as long as people out there want one
  13. thanks, i did sell it right after the auction, i needed a quick sale for holiday money and other builds, or i would have held onto it a little longer, maybe i'll do better on the next one
  14. i made this jig to drill string thru holes use the dremel with the base to drill straight holes like that flip it over and do the other side like that string thru holes came out real nice
  15. got out the tailpiece templates today and made a ebony tailpiece lined up the template on the body and routed out a spot for it nice fit gave it a 12" radius i'll carve more on it later
  16. I had some time today to route for humbuckers
  17. drilled tuner holes today shaped the back of the neck got the neck glued in
  18. it works good for some things but is not that great, lot of slop even when everything is tightened up yeah i take blood pressure medicine for that
