A bit late, but I’m in. I’m not completely sure which direction this build will go which is why there are a couple of different wood types shown. What is sure is that with my limited experience I will need plenty of help from the experts here, especially if I attempt a neck build (not sure about that yet). As a note on my prior experience…a year ago I barely knew which end of the screwdriver did what….really. With the help of all those posting on this forum I was able to complete one scratch build taking about 3 months.
Below are the required raw material pictures. At this point I believe the ash (3 middle boards) will be the ones used instead of the reclaimed pine on the right. The only thing sure to be incorporated in the build is the dice. Ebay listed some vintage bakelite dice confiscated from an illegal gambling joint on Jacksboro Hwy outside of Ft. Worth Texas in the ‘50’s (also posted were 3 magic beans). The dice pictured aren’t them…but I liked the story and the idea of using them as knobs.
I had many questions early on regarding the overall cost of tools used to complete a build. The tools used in this build along with the actual amount paid for them.
Here are the pictures:
