This could be git related or not. So, what's on your workbench at the moment?
I have 4 scarf joint necks in different stages of work.
A 25" scale pine 5 string neck for a Banjo-Res, A 25" scale Red Oak neck for my 6 string Strat-Res build, A 24 & 1/2" scale Red Oak neck for my 6 string Double Cut Tele build and a 27" scale 6 string Baritone Conversion neck for a Modern Strat body I have.

2000 replies? Must be a popular subject. Here's a pic of the new to me scroll saw. And it came right at the right time, I have had an old oil painting kit with a nice wooden box that is prime for a CBG. A Painters Pallet box guitar? And was wondering how to cut that box without breaking it, The scroll saw worked great.
Yea, this thread was created back when there were lots of active members. The goal was to see how long it would go, it actually went 6 or 7 years til it fizzled out? Nobody wanted to post because of the disappearing text glitch we had, they actually never figured out why or how? But it was a pain in the rear to type a bunch of stuff & watch it disappear before your eyes!
Yes, been there on other forums,. But something is different here now. The pics go up easy, but things get "jumbled" up and come out backwards.
Or go to the last page for the start? Could be that this forum took a big hit when the rest of the world was being locked up. So many things are gone.
Actually, the real reason why this place cleared out is because people around here don't like change, so they left...
Nope, there were still lots of people around during that time, they just weren't posting much? In fact, during the lockdown people flocked to diy guitar kits?
I've seen a painter's pallete guit & uke, the body was built like an acoustic & the thumb hole was the sound hole? I also had a customer who had me make one as a pick guard on a Tele?
My wife kept the pallet and brushes, i got the box.
FYI- this is the only discussion on the site that has over 2000 replies, it was definitely a sticky one!! 👏🏼
workbencheS. I have many.
CGB bench: a 23" scale Macanudo, fretted. going to try notching it with the LMS3990 mini mill. a butcher block solid body with a well made 25" fretted neck fraudulently peddled as a CGB neck.
Microcontroller workbench: a doorbell that gives me one gong sound when a vehicle enters the 400 foot long driveway, two whistles when the vehicle enters the yard, the NBC chimes when the driver comes through a gate, and any of 312 sounds when the doorbell button is pushed. I intend to scale it back to just a pushbutton doorbell someday
Electronics workbench: A Mordaunt-Short 940 subwoofer that needs a power capacitor. A Kenwood subwoofer that needs 14 obsolete 14 volt tungsten lights replaced with 7 flat LEDs. just cosmetic, the tunes aspect works fine.
Front porch: workbench is a vast door on two steel sawhorses. the big AC needs a new capacitor.
Back yard: a baja bug named Rasputin. sucks my wallet dry and always needs one more part to get it running.
Hi,
No pics yet but yesterday I added something that is worth posting about. My neighbor, among many other things, scraps out cars and "leftovers" from peoples lives. Yesterday he came up with a scroll saw. A very nice one. I wound up paying $25. It's a DeWalt, very big for a scroll saw, cast iron deck, and runs fine. It got set up front and left of the front door, right where the belt sander was making too much dust.
Pics on the way. kentr
