BobginpghI glued the bubinga fingerboard to the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/bass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bass</a> neck this afternoon. The hard maple neck is reinforced with 2 (probably overkill) carbon fiber rods and a truss rod. Inlays and side markers are Total Boat <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/epoxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#epoxy</a> with Black Diamond Pigments for the blue/green color.

BobginpghOn to the fingerboard for the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Bass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bass</a> project. Made from a piece of Bubinga I’ve had for many years with Total Boat epoxy inlays, I’m installing the frets here using my drill press and an eBay fret press caul. The frets are precut and radiused from Bitter Root Guitars. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#maker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/pghmaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pghmaker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#diy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/luthier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#luthier</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/bassguitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bassguitar</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/wood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wood</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#woodworking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/cnc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cnc</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/empireofdust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#empireofdust</a>

BobginpghAfter the prototype I’ve been working on the final pieces of the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/bassguitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bassguitar</a> project.

BobginpghMore testing for the New Perspectives Music <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/bass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bass</a> kit.

BobginpghFirst glue up of the coffee table top. I’m doing it in 2 stages because I was a little worried about the Titebond ll Dark starting to setup as I fumbled with such a big (44” square) glue up.

BobginpghSince I was in vise restoration mode, I cleaned up this basic <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#woodworking</a> vise that’s been under a different bench than the Wilton Bullet. This one needed a bath in Evaporust, a little fettling for past abuse, and an unnecessary paint job. I turned handle from some scrap & mounted it in my outfeed/assembly table.

BobginpghThis well used and abused Wilton Bullet vise has been under the bench for a few years.

BobginpghThis well used and abused Wilton Bullet vise has been under the bench for a few years. Time to do a basic refurb starting in my new 5 gallon bucket of Evapo-Rust. This will need some mill work, a new handle, and a shop made set of jaws.

BobginpghI built these Adirondack chairs from plans in Norm Abram’s Classics from The New Yankee Workshop book about 25 years ago. They’ve been out in the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/pittsburgh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pittsburgh</a> weather all those years and needed a tuneup. A little sanding and screw tightening and they’re good as new plus a little patina. The redwood from Brookside lumber has held up pretty well all these years. . . . . . <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#maker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/pghmaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pghmaker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/helloimakeis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#helloimakeis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/wood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wood</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#woodworking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/normabram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#normabram</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/newyankeeworkshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#newyankeeworkshop</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/chair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#chair</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/adirondack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#adirondack</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/empireofdust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#empireofdust</a>
