TORT making attempt

[gln1955]

First, get some tortoise eggs.....

Don't attempt to make tort... It's far too dangerous and many have died trying.

I'd rock a ravioli pattern too, but I don't wanna start a whole point-counterpoint.

Surely, that’s TORTellini?

Tortoises especially.

 

[BOOG]

Hahahahaha! I was giving him the tort but expressing open-mindedness towards rav. I'd also consider a nice, melty baked ziti.

Those are not ziti... Those are penne.

Marihuana or alcohol.

I like this Warby Parker ad that shows how they make their frames from cellulose acetate. I'm assuming a similar process is used to make tort.

Yep, the process is pretty much identical.

Here's some interesting stuff. I wonder what it looks like, in person...
Tortoiseshell Sheets

I see a lot of the 'usual suspects' on that page. Some reasonably cool and somewhat authentic patters for some of the true vintage stuff (like the tiger stripe, and the spotted ones) but I don't see anything that replicates the celluloid of Fender guards from the 60's and early 70's.

And here I am, still hoping to see a pic of the best ham for metal.

Brown sugar baked! That's what we always get.

So, no "3D" tort?

Some of those 60s torts and pearls were just wild... They had motion!

Yeah, and that's why guys like Spitfire can charge a bunch...No one else is doing it 'right'.

 

[Mvilmany]

Thank you for this effort. More tort makes the world a better place.

 

[BurningSkies]

Come up with something interesting and I'll buy one for my Dingwall uber-fretless.

 

[JRA]

i say put on any pickguard you want, to show off! --- and then shine 3-5 pin spots on it while you stand in that 'one place'...while you're soloing.

per the OP: making your own tort sounds like a G.A.S.! can't wait to see it! good luck! show some pics/videos!

Thats pretty cool.
Probably the same place the people who sell the $300 tort pickguards buy theirs.

 

[Sooner Boomer]

What about breaking brown mica (like is used in desk lamp shades) into small pieces, then laminating them back together in a thin sheet? I know, it's one of those "all ya gotta do" kind of things...

What about a pickguard made from just a sheet of mica? Has anyone done that?
