I'd just like to know how you MADE the drawings. It must've taken hours. Where did the dimensions come from, what software, etc.? Forget the build, which is fantastic!! Those drawings are...
Beautiful work. I really want to make one for my daughter, but the holes have scared me off.
Pure genius!!! I wish my real guitar builds were as nice. Just what every traveling musician needs. I can't wait to show this to my 17 year-old shredder.
Mark,
Can you tell us what your buffing out process is? Is that wax in the picture or some kind of polishing compound?
Thanks for sharing your posts. Very educational and inspirational. Keep...
Mitchell,
I live in Mendham. I believe your band has graced our Labor Day Parade for many years. Maybe we can arrange a Creeker visit the next time you march through town....

C'mon Tyler. You can do better than that. For 11 days, we've been living vicariously through you. You need to provide more detail on your first day of freedom. We need details.

20. Would've had more if I had trusted my instincts.:eek:
Unless I'm getting the day count wrong, if you are working a normal Monday-Friday work week, you really only have five more days to go.
Remember, if there aren't pictures, it didn't happen.

Up to 1140. However, my thumb is now sore and my productivity is shot to hell.:o
914 was the best I could do. Now I know why my hand tool skills are so bad....:eek:
I'm with Dick.
I'd love to meet all of you, but the last time I was in Minneapolis in February, it was -20 and snowing. :eek: Given the weather you are having now, there ain't no...
I'm looking to build some kind of cart or stand for my benchtop planer that I can roll away when not in use. I'd appreciate any pictures or suggestions anyone has.
Thanks,
Jack
I already have the non-adjustable, low angle block plane. After reading Chris Schwarz's workbench book, I'd like to get the adjustable mouth plane. I expect to use it mostly for cleaning up surface...
I think Norm hurt his shoulder falling from a wet rafter during his house construction. I believe he wrote about it in the book about his house. It was a pretty funny story.
I figure Norm has...
Jim,
Does anyone out there make a good two-line system? My wife works out of our house so we need the second line. I have a Sony system, but it is starting to show signs of aging and, as dumb as...
Gary,
You must try it before you buy it. I bought one about a year ago and tried several before I did. One of the key issues, at least in my experience, is the way your foot travels as you...
Still nothing in my mailbox....:(
Try "Rock Band". Combines the best of Guitar Hero and SingStar. Karaoke meets air guitar.
My kids and I played for 10 hours on Christmas. I was hoarse the next day from trying to sing like...
I thought it was a hoot. Unfortunately, I am the guy who has all of the latest power tools, has read everything about how to make a mortise and tenon, but has actually never made one...
I am assembling financing.:eek: My kids (ages 14, 12, 12 and 10) are just about past the "some assembly required" stage. Now I just need to figure out how to pay for all the cell phones, iPods,...
My secretary gave me one for Xmas. I liked it so much I ordered one for my parents. Mine is a name brand I never heard before, but it works great. certainly good enough for my desk.

...to buy a big screen (50-60") TV from a reputable internet retailer (like Crutchfield's)? Given my recent rant about Best Buy, I am loathe to do any more business with them. However, I keep...
Typical holiday run-around. Ordered something from the Best Buy website last night. Even though I entered my current address, the e-mail receipt specified an old address. I called Customer "Care"....
Dumb question, but how do you cut the hole in the bottom door to make the opening?
