A couple years ago this guy dropped off to #DecaturMakers #makerspace a box of guitar bodies and necks from an art installation, spray painted and coated in glitter. I grabbed a thinline body and neck that looked like a match - I just couldn’t let them go to a shelter!!

Nelson finished his tele! Now he just needs to… uh finish it. #DecaturMakers #makerspace

I just attended an amazing presentation by Tom Bentz at #DecaturMakers #makerspace members meeting. Tom designs and cuts fabulous creatures out of cardboard on our laser cutter (and he has a nice one of his own at home). He makes lots of other stuff too. Inspiring!

The telecaster saga continues - new frets for an old axe. Getting ready for guitar builders monthly meetup at #DecaturMakers #makerspace last Monday of the month at 7…

It’s raining teles at #DecaturMakers #makerspace! This is kind of a Charlie Brown Christmas tree situation… pulled this body and neck from a box that got dropped off a couple years ago. It was from an art installation. Just didn’t want to see it go to a shelter…

It’s a real telecaster-fest down at #DecaturMakers #makerspace! Today I helped buddy Nelson cut out his first body on the big CNC machine. Can’t wait to hear it rock!

Super positive vibes coming out of #DecaturMakers #makerspace today. Somebody threw out a spraypainted tele hollowbody and neck and there’s hardwoods under there! Just needs a little love…

Finally finished assembling a flip-top table for the #OneFinity Woodworker X35 CNC at #DecaturMakers #makerspace. Our manager James cut out all the pieces! Perfect size for building electric guitars and other medium-sized milling projects. I hope to see more of our members developing CNC skills!

Our guitar builders meetup at #DecaturMakera #makerspace had a refretting class led by Yes Dear’s Evelyn, who convinced me I could do it myself… we’ll see!

I spend the morning at my community #makerspace #DecaturMakers working on a new laser donated from our sister space #RoswellFirelabs - thanks folks! Maybe somebody will engrave something inspiring with it someday…

Even though it’s a school night I headed down to 529 to check out Yes Dear, a band featuring Evelyn (left), who has generously led our monthly guitar building workshops at #DecaturMakers #makerspace - SO glad I did as theirs is the kind of music I like to listen to most of all. Go see them.

This is version 1.0 of a car built by Steve, a member at Decatur Makers. Steve is in his 70's now and worked in advertising before he retired. He learned welding at the #makerspace with the goal of building his own car from scratch and driving it to his 70th birthday party. He did it and made 3 more

I love my makerspace community! LARPers making armor!

Last night I put down my phone to engage with my community of amateur luthiers at Decatur Makers, my community makerspace. This was just a CNC demo I did but if I decide to make it into something wonderful, nobody’s going to stop me. Go check in with your community. You’re not alone.
