Summer Build Off 2022 - Get Ready!

[Beej]

I've also been gathering parts, I just don't have a design yet...

Mothman?

 

[BishopJP]

I'm in, though I am waffling between a few options.

I guess I'll see which project coalesces in time...

 

[Mickey666]

I'll be entering the cheering section.

Ditto

 

[boxerrider]

I'm planning on it. Partial build '51 P.

 

[RichterScale]

I'm out for the summer o' fun. When I get a break from all the homestead work I'm currently up to my neck in, I have to finish 2 unfinished instruments and then see if they actually play decent and if I'm worth my salt as a builder, or if I should give it up and take up basket weaving. Or button collecting. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Anyway, I'll also be cheering and provide the occasional wisecrack, as needed.

Mothman?

For summer, I think it should be a butterfly.
Someone should build a butterfly bass.

 

[Snert]

take up basket weaving.

And macramé. If you're gonna go hippy, might as well go full hippy.

I like that idea, not sure why.

 

[RichterScale]

Never go full hippy

Take up basket weaving and weave a gig bag?

Take up basket weaving and weave a gig bag?

My wife likes to crochet (?)

@RichterScale and his "occasional" wisecrack....

Ha!!



I get a kick out of them, though, so keep 'em up!

I just bought a body blank that's big enough for a Strat for peanuts which will probably be a precursor project to the next WBO. A little unusual though. Details at 11 (that means November).

 

[Max Bogosity]

I still haven't finished my WBO project, but that won't stop me from starting another one. I've never finished anything before, why start now?

You absolutely want to start now, so that you can fail to finish when you’re done!

You may be on to something. If I start right now, before the official start, then I’ll have failed to even start correctly and the pressure will be off.

 

[AudioTaper]

You're building a Theremin?!?!?!

I built a frequency-only Theremin about 20 years ago. It's pretty cool, I wanted to expand on it but... you know how things go.

Wait... you can BUY body blanks?! I've been doing it wrong the whole time!?

 

[Flying B]

Mothman?

But I've already got three, a fourth seems a bit excessive.

 

[AK4570]

I'm in and going to attempt a scratch build off the tailgate of my truck (only slightly exaggerating). It will actually be out of a storage unit and a 12ft cargo trailer with tools powered by a generator

I need a distraction to keep me sane while trying to complete my dissertation so why not sign up for something i've never attempted with limited tools and a deadline... Yep. Sounds perfect!

Best of luck, everyone!

Too many greentards around my way to get away with doing that as you might be destroying the last habitat of the three legged crosseyed bluetail squirrel-moose.
