    I did the inlay, the epoxy is not curing, ugh. I'll give it another day, but removing that is going to be painful. I'm not going to...

    I'm as anit-AI as anyone when it comes to creative endeavors. I like what I heard the other day: respect demands effort. AI is a lazy...

    I'm going to say something nice about mahogany: a card scraper works amazingly well on it. I did a lot of scraping of the body last...

    The best part about doing this plug with the CNC (that I didn't initially think of) is that if I mess it up I can cut a new one in 5...

    Sometimes I amaze myself. I guess this is going to be a regular double P like the BC Rich. I can't see running these pickup holders...

    As expected this has been moving kind of slow and I guess I didn't take pics of everything I did. I drilled out the headstock. I made...
