A Flake Or Two

So we have been getting a flake or 2 of snow. The first image is my 6" work ruler. The second is a pic taken down the hole it went into which was the ruler plus the length of my finger. the thrist is a pic across the street. I took a bunch more but all that took were just the flash lighting up the snow in front of the camera. We are at about a foot with 3 days of snow to come.

YAY

Tim's Bass Part: 4 - New Jointer - Work continues

Got the new jointer in, YAY! Now I can start working again. Today I jointed all the glueable edges and bandsawed out the rough body shape. Tomorrow I hope to cut the truss rod slot, fret slots and glue the fingerboard to the neck. Here are the pics of the rough cut body next to the neck through section.

Cut the Fingerboards

I cut the fingerboards for Tim, Jack, Ron, and Kevin and still have enough material to get 2 more fingerboards. Yay for good machinery!

Tim's Bass Part: 3

Both wings are glued up now as well as the neck through section. Next I have to plane down the wings, shape the wings, glue the wings to the neck, slot the fingerboard, cut the truss rod channel and install the truss rod, glue on the fingerboard, and fret the neck. But until I can do most of that, I have to wait on the jointer I ordered to arrive.

Here are some pics of the wood parts laying in the proper position.




Jack's Guitar Part: 2

I got the scarf joint glued up.
