    What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

    Splitting wood.. well brace stock which is quarter sawn: Traditionally they did this to ensure that there's no bad grain problems that would cause the loading of the braces to fail, taking the guitar top with it. As happened with the other block... Also doing some top work.. I call this...

    What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

    Hacky hacky.. 0.22" but 0.002" tolerance hand carving with scrapers.. fun fun.. today was scratch and sniff of the area between the two sets of dotted lines. Cleaned up the resonance lines nicely.. the Q-factor is going up so the peaks are getting sharper. You may need psychiatric testing after...

    Worlds First Augmented Analog Pedel.

    There's a number of ways I could see how todo this: 1. Bias the opposite side off the diode to the signal. 2. Use a fet to scale the signal like a FET compressor. 3. Use variable two phase to cancel a portion of the amplitude with less noise. You could clip a parallel duplicate signal and then...

    What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

    The guitar building gods are trolling me (yes this is a real pattern): Then just to make it real (again this is a real pattern): And that's where I called it a day for the moment..

    What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

    Ahh the joys of archtop guitar carving.. tap test, and Chladni patterns ahoy! So a standard classical guitar is flat with stiffness controlled by wood modulus, top area thickness, bracing and bracing shape... an archtop guitar has stiffness controlled by the wood modulus, arch shape, the area...

    The anti-GAS thread

    Hmm post disappeared when editing.. odd. Diesel in the UK would be $8.63 for a US gallon at the moment. Good thing I get decent mpg..

    Angine de Poitrine

    Pretty much. There's plenty more out there, especially with AI or using AI to help, that could rival..

    The anti-GAS thread

    How to build your own analogue synth book? Also.. 1980s: * Gary Numan * Yazoo * Depeche Mode * Yellow ... Then you have the all important 1990s Hoover sound for all those rave tracks.

    Electrical shock survivors

    And the partner behind now operates with a very long pole to pull the individual to safety in case there's arcing. I always thought it fun that people run around with fire to detect the start of electrical current leaks that occur before the arcs. I've had a few, with one resulting in what can...

    Buddy's Building a Guitar...

    You know when you have this dialled in, you're not going to want to dismantle it todo any mods so get them all on :D What about Duke Nuke'em, Dan Dare (the Mekon, Trooper, Doomlord), Babylon 5, Tron, Tank (the 1980s arcade version) and even ELITE? We also have "Viz" in the UK but it's not a...

    Cranky old whiner about the good ol days of diy pedals

    🍿just waiting for stickman.. I'd probably not consider attempting to professionally peddle pedals given the world is going to **** and you're now competing for components with people wanting to kill other people for kicks and giggles. On the serious side, the death of global trade is on the...
