Fossil amp

Tin amp. I got tired of not getting wood to square on my deck and did something that required almost no tools.

  • ok i get it ,looked it up online. stuff in a tin ...

    yes Wendy we're here to help ...just ask..

    mmm a solid w/bench is favourite ,the 'workmate' benches are ok for most jobs tho' .your plane needs to be super sharp ,an art in itself .good luck and have fun ..J

  • Those are both great ideas Jim. I did a tin 4 string a while back. Rusty Canjo is what I called it. I never did put knobs on the amp. Couldn't think of a knob I wanted. I should go do some beach combing.

    Maddog-I'm having issues squaring the neck/fretboard surfaces for gluing. My workspace is a folding job mate table ($18 cheap) and a variety of hand tools, I live in a condo and work on my deck, my neighbors complained when I used a dremel for a pickup hole on my body. It's a challenge. I finally got some planes but between the uneven work bench and trying to hold the bench down I made a mess of the fretboard. My saving grace is this time I got a 3/4 inch board and I still have 1/2 an inch to get it right ;)
  • Oh yeah, some fossils for the knobs would be cool! Maybe petrified wood.

  • Hmm, I think fossil is a high dollar watch. I made a stick dulci with a similar tin. Yeah Wendy, one string on a broomstick with a pickup attached is all you need till you get a real neck made!

  • Are you having problems building necks Wendy? Let us know if you have any questions, we're a helpful bunch of folks on CBN. If I can't help you then Jabes can and if Jabes can't then Dan can and down the line, I don't think I have ever had a question go unanswered on CBN. We're here if ya need anything :-)

  • I bought a busted mini fender from a music store at cost and swapped out the broken and fried components. I have an almost finished cigar box amp as well. Same deal. Busted amp, fix the bad, make her good. Just picked up a larger fried amp from a coworker I'm going to build into a wine crate once I fix the board :) if only necks were as easy as electronics, I'd have a guitar to plug into my amps lol! I'm working on neck attempt three for a guitar. I have the body ready...
  • i get it's an amp ,but what tin is it . what is fossil?

  • Cool Beans Wendy!!! Looks nice, what amp did you install in it?
