gummibearheadsWhile I was routing the body for the Floyd Rose tremolo, my router bit slipped out of the chuck and dug in too far. It went in about 1/4″.
The boo boo was in an area that is not functional and wouldn’t be seen, but I wanted to fix it anyway. My plan is to…
This guy has a business in Montana building and repairing wagons and wheels. For his YouTube channel, he makes great videos and explains everything. The process of doing what he does is fascinating.
This is the final video in his series of building a HUGE wagon.
Little guy does not approve of this one…
I plugged all the holes in the guitar body. I don’t think I will use any of the old screw holes, plus I am moving the strap button, and the output jack is moved. Plug them all!
Also there was a screw with a twisted off head that needs to come out.
A gorilla walks into a bar and asks for a beer.
The bartender slides him a beer and says “That will be $11. We don’t get many gorillas coming in here.”
The gorilla says “With the prices you charge, I’m not surprised!”
Your mom is so short, when she went to the zoo, it was animal crackers!
I finished a couple little jobs like drilling for the tremolo posts, and increasing the hole size for the kill switch. Next is mocking up to make sure stuff fits and lines up.
I installed the tremolo posts and tremolo. I installed the killswitch, volume pot, and pickup selector switch.
I used some string to approximate the guitar strings and the tremolo lines up real good.
Next steps are prepping for paint and re-fretting the neck.
These guys are a national treasure and should be honored as such!
I don’t want anymore kids, so I went to get a vasectomy. It didn’t work because the kids were still there when I got home.
After moving the output jack, I drilled a 1/8″ pilot hole to the pickup area. I then used a 12″ long 5/16″ bit to make the hole bigger.
I ran into a problem and could not get the holes to connect. I bought an 18″ long drill bit and went to work.
Turns out the first hole drifted off course which is why it didn’t connect. Then I drilled too far and it came out the back. Ugh.
After the bit came out the back I realized what happened and connected the holes. It’s a bit uglier than I wanted but no big deal. It won’t show.
