Our Si has lost a bit of momentum having finished the bench. Though it needs a bit of TLC, it's developed a considerable amount of rack side to side. Fore and aft is still solid so my leg unit is definitely strong enough in that direction.

Pardon? 😶

I can sponsor you for an obscure amount of money?

True, but in my experience dug up bodies tend not to be great for basses. They're a bit squishy, smelly and fall apart after a while. I did imply, if not actually say, it would be a bitsa.
-
Update.... A body has been purchased.

First time making a bass, Singlecut NT 5 string

I really like the armchair and the TV unit! If I did arty photo's there would be piles of stuff shoved out of view. -

Where did you get the tuners? You may have already said of course and I'm just being lazy 😉 -
And another! I think that our guitarist is bored this morning so he's spaffing our rehearsal videos all over the place. We need a soundcheck before the next session it seems. The instrument volume balance is all over the place.

Not a dream, but I was once awakened by a peal of thunder so loud it set my bass humming to itself in the corner of the bedroom.

It's Farcebook I'm afraid, but the latest video. I'm on bass obvs... 😁 I obviously went for a bit of a wander in the middle as I start disappearing off camera at one point. https://www.facebook.com/148967305567056/posts/1009095159554262/?sfnsn=scwspmo&extid=YwALStmKhoDr4ksz

Don't forget Guitarchat... They're desperate for content/community over there 😉

You kept the Tele secret. I do like a Flying V, are you going to diarise it somewhere?

Why is the pressure downward with a tail piece? Isn't it just moving the turning moment of the top backwards? -

I've got a fresh Brownian motion producer if that helps? -

I can see *my* face in it, it's that shiny. -

Begorrah! Look at the gloss on that. -
Sort of hairy and a bit of an odd shape?
-
Hi, I've asked and he won't countenance it. How do you want to do this? Probably best on PM.
-
The thin slice is the body and the fat lump is the routing template?
-
I do feel that I've only made one thing though, the spinny garden thing for MDW. The other three items have been tool storage or a tool, which don't count in my head! Oh, and the new angled sides for my pedal board.
-
Thank you. The mahogany is from an old mantle shelf from our last house. It got put in the garage for a rainy day and the movers just grabbed everything that wasn't nailed down! It cuts really nicely, but is a bu$$er to plane.
-
I made another thang. Any ideas what the dark wood is?
-
An infinite improbability clef?
-
Does it have to be wood? Corian is pretty much all of the things you want and you may be able to get a big enough lump out of a skip behind a kitchen fitters business. Ask first obvs!

I've been playing with ideas for a makers mark for my projects as well. Mine won't be nearly as cool though.
