What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

EDIT: IGNORE OK. I am posting my ignorance here. Are these in the sheepylove-diptrace git, as .lib files that need to be opened with diptrace?

OK, I found them: https://github.com/szukalski/awesome-pedal?tab=readme-ov-file
FWIW I've got a bunch of the v2.1's that were pre-populated by JLCPCB, I think that + a SPST footswitch + a relay might come out slightly more expensive than a 3PDT, but it's not by much, and they're pretty nifty.
 
Build the template yesterday for the acoustic archtop. Now I have the scary task of attempting to work out how think it needs to be to support the bridge load given the string tension is 165-199lbs. Idea is to get a way with as little bracing as possible. I also have the long task of making the mould, inside jacks and the two arch plate cradles.

That upper bout it's quite as square as it looks in real life.
 
Do you think the texture would still come through if you did a thin coat of a different color over the top?
Yeah, I was thinking of this matte clear varnish I got with black pigment stirred through it. It's sold for being used on outdoor wood and leaves the uneven structures in wood palpable. One layer gives a sort of semi-transparant effect, with contrasts within the wood discernable. This cast iron paint feels a bit like 280 grit sandpaper, but pointier / sharper to the touch, so that sharpness will be lost. Going to do a testrun in a few weeks when I am back here, to see what it does and finish up the entire enclosure up with whatever looks best.
