I'm going to roll something out soon that I've been working on quietly for quite a while recently and has been gestating for almost 40 years. I'm pretty excited about it and I think it's going to have a positive impact in a realm that means a lot to me.

I've been building electrics lately but I'm getting back into the acoustic world now. I'm excited to make some announcements soon about my latest project and have some nice soundboards lined up including a few sets that I've been dragging around with me for 40 years.

Tidying up the yurt for family visit.
Friday night chill out. Analog compressor /sustainer, to be digitally controlled so I can harness it to my MIDI rig. Worked out all out and I think it will be fine. I haven't listened to it yet, just checked it on the oscilloscope which can tell you more than you can hear in some ways.

Pickup building time.
Thing about electric guitars is they aren't that much fun to play without amplification. Yesterday and today I've been working on pickups in spare minutes. I'll admit my custom coil winder was givin...

Bessent leaking tariff easing with China in private meetings should be a major corruption scandal. Instead everyone is so relieved that almost nobody is making this the story.

I finished detailing this 1x12" speaker cabinet I made years ago but always kept at home because I never finished up the grill. I'm selling my amps to switch to a more versatile FRFR type rig. This brass detailed beauty will be on sale soon.

Just finished up this custom bridge for my experimental acoustic project. Features tusq compensated saddle.
Wood is "red heart" that I picked up from a local wood seller. I was impressed by its resonance indicating high rigidity.

Mostly finished up my lathe stand so it and all the accessories and tools have a place to live. My shop is not so huge that every tool can have its own fixed bench so secondary tools like this need movable stands.

I've been coding professionally, for 40 years. My manager, I guess, who is a really good, smart guy, asked if the somewhat textual 1 pager I wrote for an engineering change, touching three separate systems, could just be fed into an LLM to magically code it. I said: "Nope". !?!?
