Picked up a scorp today. There’s always one more you want though, isn’t there? Really have to pump the breaks on this for now.

Had a binding disaster that nearly totaled this ol’ girl. Had to pull off the back, re-inset peones and now driving that bus to a 25-degree radius. Beer✔️ My jams✔️ New bench✔️. Life is good

Build #1. Almost there. Just a few more steps. I made my bridge; need to glue it up, shape my saddle & nut, and shellac this thing and I’m done!!

I’ve reached a point where it’s all spilling over. Definitely need to get myself a drawer system or something. This is making me bananas 🤦🏽

My first soundboard bracing is done. It definitely has some mistakes, but I’m pleased and can’t believe I made this. I’ll attempt to join the neck today and set it in the solera.

Fun day at my wood supply place. Who doesn’t need a 6’ plane?

Came in today, but this LN scraper iron is too thick for my vintage No. 112 scraper plane. Shit😡. Now I have two tools I can’t use. Suggestions?

Progress on No. 1 — I glued the bridge 2 days ago and put frets in today, have to level them still. I’ll set up the nut and saddle next. Then...I do believe it’s shellac time!! String her up and hope it makes a sound without falling apart.
