Did you receive my PM? I haven't gotten anything back yet.

Bea-u-ty-full!

Good point. I did consider plug clearance when I was planning it and luckily, there shouldn't be a problem because: - Most of my cables are 90 degrees - Even with a straight cable the location of the jack is far enough out the way that with minimal care it shouldn't be a problem

I like to make repairs and modifications look as original as possible. When wiring the 1/4" line output, since the organ did not originally feature one, I wanted it to be as discrete as possible, yet still easily accessible as the organ will be hooked to effects and guitar amps somewhat...

Great idea. I actually just replaced my dish the other day and have the old one sitting around here.

Here's another little detail. These notches are for felt blocks that the music rack rests on when the lid is closed. I cut down these felt glides as raw material.

Alright, I'm in!

You're totally right. I'll do it that way.

Sanding to blend the transition between wood pieces. Question for you all: Do you think I should stain the added on pieces to match, or in a contrasting color?

Wow, thanks. I never would have guessed that this project would inspire others as much or more than it has me. Thank you for your interest.

It's a trick of the camera. The arms are definitely asymmetric and quite short. Here's another truck in that same bay recently:

Me too. There's still a good bit to be done, but it's hard to have the motivation when I'm this close to completion. No kidding. I hate that the guy had to destroy the bench this way. It has been one of the most frustrating processes in the whole project and I'm nowhere near satisfied with the...

Did some more stuff. Test fit. Didn't have any pipe for my pipe clamp, so I got creative.

That makes sense. They looked just like Tronex and they USA, not Swiss COO. I was confused by that at first. You could just about have knocked me over with a feather. I never see quality tools at these things. The booth had mostly junk from China and Pakistan, but it also randomly had tweezers...

Recently got two tools that I'm really excited about. At a booth at the fair today they had Excelta mini flush cutters for $15. They are normally in the eighty dollar range! Also, yesterday my neighbor gave me a brand new Time Shaver Preppin' Weapon sanding block when I was admiring his. I...

Just got a new tube overdrive and made a little video of some late night noodling in its blazing overdriven glory and I thought I'd share with you, warts and all:

Installed new garage door springs.

Giving my garage a little love today: new door springs. After one of the springs broke last week: We finally got a new set of springs for one of the doors. The other one will have to wait a little longer.

I did this a while ago, and got the Westling trays to organize what I kept. It's been liberating to have just what I need and know where to find it. I only kept doubles of common sizes. Did the same thing with wrenches, but made sure I have two sets of everything (within reason).

Hmm. Looks like there's something in the works. What could it be?
