I glued the bubinga fingerboard to the #bass neck this afternoon. The hard maple neck is reinforced with 2 carbon fiber rods and a truss rod. Inlays and side markers are Total Boat #epoxy Now on to the body. #maker #pghmaker #diy #wood #woodworking #bassguitar #luthier #empireofdust

More testing for the New Perspectives Music #bass kit. I got the toolpaths working to cut the neck on the diagonal on my Inventables 1000mm #xcarve. Test finger board next, then do it all again in good #wood. #maker #pghmaker #diy #woodworking #luthier #cncrouter #bassguitar #gizmosity #empireofdust

Testing toolpaths and feeds & speeds on scrap construction lumber before committing to good material. This bass is based on a design made available by Tim Sway at New Persectives Music #maker #pghmaker #diy #cnc #cncrouter #xcarve #wood #woodworking #luthier #bass #bassguitar #empireofdust

I finally ran a 220 volt circuit to my air compressor. I also put in dedicated air lines using a kit from Northern Tool & couldn’t resist some home automation. A #matter compatible #smartplug from TP link controls the solenoid valve #maker #pghmaker #diy #homeautomation #homekit #siri #compressedair

I got one of these really cool coins from Commonwealth Press commemorating #Pittsburgh They were struck in COR-TEN #steel at The Center for Metal Arts and it smells like it was finished with Forge Finish from Z H Fabrications. Look for the Commonwealth press video on YouTube youtu.be/6I7iIRhkpJk?...
