Recently acquired a new (to me) bandsaw that allows enough height for re-sawing planks. Combined woth my drum sander I made quick work of some Walnut I’ve been wanting to turn into an acoustic guitar or two!

A couple days after her wedding my daughter asked me if I could somehow preserve some of the flowers from her bouquet in resin. I consulted youtube and here’s what I came up with. The flowers had started to wilt somewhat but I think it still turned out pretty good. #resinart

Here’s a look at the two single-cut ‘Goldie’ models (4-string bass and 6-string guitar) together. The other two in the background are also my work as well! #woodworking #luthier #guitar #handmade

Not a full neck through but a deep set neck instead, it extends beyond the neck end. Full semi-hollow. Here’s a pic of the chambered body.

Sometimes it just fun to print something you think is fun and makes you smile. I will always be impressed with print-in-place modeling as well. Design by (@3dmieks on Insta) #3dprinting #TakingOutTheTrash #3ddesign #polymaker

Seeing the auction for Blade Runner 2049 props brings me back to the prop blaster version I made. This is K’s blaster finished similar to Deckard’s original version. This was the first fully 3D printed prop I ever made. Fdm print with modeling by Juri aka 3D Workbench (not on BS).

Frets set on my first acoustic build. I like round over fret ends. A challenge is sizing before setting them. So, I designed and 3D printed a matching fretboard jig. With this jig I was able to “install” the frets to size then easily remove them by flexing the jig. It worked well. #guitar #luthier

Made some improvements to my fretboard radius sander that I built last year, from an old belt sander. It now has a rail guide which allows a consistent thickness to be sanded without room for error. Works great! #guitar #woodworking #luthier #3Dprinting

Mal’s blaster from #Firefly replica. Used my woodworking skill to transition into prop making for the last 12 years+. The only all wood prop I have ever made. Doing more woodwork now but always loved this one. Can’t share this on IG anymore as all prop firearms posts get me blocked. #woodwork #prop

First commission prop sword was Sif’s sword (Thor 2) the blade was made from pine and embellishments were Worbla and foam. Three years later I made Wonder Woman’s Sword of Athena (BvS). It was mostly Monster Clay and Apoxie Sculpt. Pictured are resin casts from the original handmade masters.

I’m currently building my first acoustic guitar (after building seven electrics). I added this end cap of my own design yesterday. The book I’m following calls it “end flash” I think it should be “flare”. If you get this reference we can be friends!
