mistermikev Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 so... I needed another 10spc studio rack... so figured I might as well build one. I had two pieces of walnut but opted for the one with a big hole in it... because it had pretty grain. The grain matches going around the thing... kind of hard to see but... I see it. Working on a second one now. Anywho... would love to hear your impressions of it. What did I do right? what did I do wrong? also..... BARK AT THE TOAST! tuff crowd... nobody likes "bark at the toast"? so I guess better cancel my plans on a series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistermikev Posted July 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 also in recent news... I literally blew up my computer last night. have had this issue where it didn't like one of the usb devices (wasn't sure which). It wouldn't restart until the device was unplugged. well, I was trying to restart so unplugged the usb device and 'ZAP' and little smoke and no power. Followed the usb cable back to origin - a usb hub I was using to consolidate printers. so last night I ordered a new 750w power supply... hopefully we just blew some over-current protection resistor/diode in the power supply... and not the $350 motherboard (or processor or anything else)! will find out tonight when I get the new power supply... fingers crossed... find out on the next episode of "days of mike v's life" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the response! agree... can't help but feel the time would have been well spent building guitars. that said, I probably only have 10-15hrs total in the two of these (finishing the 2nd now), only that much because I didn't have the proper tools to sand something this wide so had to use my router sled - followed by belt, and then orbital! not to mention every straight edge was routered (no table saw). good experience in how NOT to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my TOAST just slightly toasty... perhaps a little more toasty than it was in the video... so it was on it's way to being toast for the sake of argument. my wife likes it super crispy... which is a sub category of toast known only as 'BURNT TOAST'!

Besides, who says I'm a guitar player? I just like to build them and maybe strum a few chords every once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
