Country mouse, city mouse..

The only thing I like about a big city is a nice fall-ish walk to lunch.

Getting there

It ain't done, but it sure is pretty.

Getting there

Amp progress

I believe this is called "populating the board." it's all uphill from here...

I'd hate the cold but then there's this...

Getting closer

Pre-rounded.

And so it begins again.

Some days

Are just better than others.

Change....

Just realized the first stage I ever played in denton is a non smoking section in a thai place now. I'm better at food than guitar anyways.

Mmm. Transparent pie.

Mmm. Bacon spam.

That's one sexy home made pickup right there, man.

Wait, what?

Hot Rod update.

OK, 90 percent done. Just have to sand/stain the back panel & do a few coats of poly. Maybe add some feet & a handle.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

So I decided before I dive into the Leslie cabinet I should give my Hot Rod Deluxe a facelift. The cabinet it's in now is fine aside from a few tolex tears, but it's made of MDF (as I discovered this weekend) & I wanted to put it in something a little more sturdy (as well as a add a more bass-friendly speaker, but more on that later).




Here's the basic assembly sitting next to patient zero. It's mostly solid pine, the baffles will be made of pine and/or birch plywood.




More detail of the joints & a dry fit of the speaker baffle. Lots of sanding/routing follows.




After much sanding (still a little bit to go) and with the speaker baffle/grill cloth. The grill cloth was rescued from my donor organ/organ donor.

Today, we stain.

Yay, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...



Here comes another project.
