I'm a Survey Engineering Technologist by trade. I have many hobbies including photography, music and guitar building. I'm going to try to keep this space free of politics.
This is my first try at Black Magic Woman. Still a work in progress. 😉

For anyone who's been following this #guitar build, it's finally finished. Here's a sound bite (excuse the sloppy playing). I'm pleased with how it turned out overall. Special thanks to Terry Cormier for cutting the nut slots and final setup.

@aircanada.bsky.social sucks. Not only because they are charging for carry-on luggage now. Even with status, they are charging $125 + 7 credits per leg to eUpgrade. What a joke. #aircanada

Apparently he's been in a few movies, that guy.

#Guitar build is nearing the finish line. Basically all that's left is pickup rings, strap buttons and slotting the nut.

They did Hitler in 1938, so there's that. It only means something you did was newsworthy. I guess it doesn't have to be something worthwhile or good.

#Guitar body dyed black, sanded back, and dyed red over the black. Looks closer to purple at this point but I'm liking the result so far.

Person of the year doesn't make you a good person, it just means something your did was newsworthy. Just remember Hitler was Time's #PersonOfTheYear in 1938.

It's that festive time of the year again when we break out the Keef on the Leaf.

I did. Well, Sally, I did. Lol.

#Guitar heel cap installed and shaped. I was planning on contouring the neck right into the body but for structural reasons I decided to go with a traditional Gibson-like heel block. I will contour the body somewhat to meet the heel cap though.

The volute is carved and much of the shaping is done but still a little chunky for my taste. A few more hours to get it just right. It's starting to look like a #guitar neck nonetheless.

Hand carving a #guitar neck is tedious and time consuming but rewarding at the same time. Machines can speed up the process but can't replicate the human touch; the fine tuned details still have to be done by hand.

I'm going to try and keep the politics here to a minimum but this needs to be said. *stolen from FB.

It poured out of the heavens just as we were going out to run some errands and when we got home this happened. As quick as it came it went, thankfully. cc: @paulasap.bsky.social

Here's a photo-dump from my latest #guitar build. I'll add more pictures as the project moves along.
