Here's plans for a nice 1x12 cab. No reason you couldn't redimension for two 10's or 12's. www.ax84.com/corecabinets.html If you're doing an...
This should be fun.
Very timely project. It happens that I ordered the exact same parts about 3 or 4 days before I noticed this thread. I'm glad you're working out...
The ding fairy must get around. I'm in CA and she certainly never misses an opportunity to swing by my house.
All the wood below the cut is coming off anyway, right? That neck looks way thicker than a normal neck so I assume the extra thickness is just to...
Total score. I found a piece that nice once at my local HD, although not as big... one time in 4 years of pretty consistent looking. You...
That looks very cool, but what is it? Is it paint or some sort of fabric or ???
I think you're over thinking it. (I do that all the time.) I don't use a plunge router either. I just tilt the router at a slight angle so the bit...
Thanks RR. Neck is 11 piece lam with mahogany, maple, paduak and rosewood. Scale length is 34"-37". The fretboard and pickup covers are...
Thanks for the kind words everyone. It's fun to show my work to friends and family, but the comments that count the most are from the folks here...
Finally finished my first bass. I started this puppy in 2013. In true Brainy style I had trouble with the original finish so I took it off. Then I...
Thanks Rob. Not sure I'd be up for a bridge-sized pickup in the neck position, but at the rate I work I'll have some more time to decide. o_O
Hi Rob. I've been re-reading this thread and was wondering if you ever settled on a final answer for these pickups. I just started a new tele...
P.s. If you really use your wife's iron, make sure the rag is really clean and use plenty of layers of cloth. Otherwise you'll be buying a new...
Looking great. Those dents should be pretty easy to steam out. I'm afraid with pine you're gonna have to learn how to do that. Wet a piece of...
Man oh man. That's what I want to do when I grow up.
Smaller gear on shaft or bigger gear on motor = faster Bigger gear on shaft or smaller gear on motor = slower
I gotta keep the score even ... Seafoam. Especially if that's the one your wife will like best. Anything you can do to help her love (or at least...
Super cool. If I were doing it, the finish would be anodized ... blue or purple or red or something. Of coarse the problem with that is that most...
Thanks James. Great tip on the PVC. I've never actually hit the axle shaft with my work, but I always worry about it. For the buffs, I'm using...
Thanks to everyone for the kind words. It works really well. Before I built it I was trying to get by with one of those cheap bench buffers, but...
The Stew-Mac buffer is 14" and spins at 715 RPM. To maintain the same surface speed with a 10" buff, it requires a speed of 715 * 14 / 10, or...
I wanted to be able to easily wheel the thing around, so I hunted around on YouTube and found a bunch of videos about DIY caster setups. There are...
I have a metal lathe, so I turned down the ends of the axle to 1/2" and threaded them. The left end has left handed threads so it tightens in use...
I built a knockoff of the Stew-Mac buffer about a year ago. I didn't do a build thread at the time, but thought I'd do a recap now. This is it:...
