Bring your tools inside and set them on a furnace vent for a day or so. Don't be in a rush to plug them in either.

Good advice! Our heat isn't on much these days with how warm it is outside but I do have them laid out with a box fan on them.
Definitely DON'T want to fire them up with even the slightest amount or moisture in there.
Also, if your heat is not on, if you have a gas oven you could put them in there. The pilot should be enough to speed up drying them out.
Some Dingwall-style individual bridges for my Cepheid 5 build:
That pink helmet over on he left there looks American Girl doll sized... you got an interested party around the house?
I could use those for my build as well, so yeah.......just send 'em over when you're done.

I've always been a fan of look and find puzzles, so I guess: game on!Where?...
My 12er sold all of hers a few months ago. And was able to buy a small lakefront property...8 year old girl. Her bike is just out of the frame with an American Girl bike carrier
Luckily mine does not discriminate between name brand and not. Plus, she inherited most of it from her older sister. Not to mention building the furniture is rather economical. Scraps from guitars work wellMy 12er sold all of hers a few months ago. And was able to buy a small lakefront property...
The Dingwall-style bridges are almost done. Here's the first one all completed. The others just need 400 grit wetsanding and then some Scotch Brite treatment.

Wow!.....Four of those on the Fat Freddy Slide Bass would look very nice.....
...Tell you what....Stick four in the post and I'll give you a mention on the headstock....
Just received the neck blank back for an 8 string extended scale from Crystal frets in Colorado. They installed 41 black onyx stone frets on the fingerboard. Need to attach body and headstock wings and profile the neck. Also need to add lightning bolts around the blade 12th fret inlay. A custom Seymour Duncan pickup and Kahler tremolo and away we go! The neck is layered ebony and maple.

Dingwall-style bridges are done:
I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. I even have one left over! I have an idea of what to do with it, though...

Of course, make it a 6 string!
Amazing looking bridges for sure.
