Post a picture of what's on your bench?

[Ron McMillan]

That is correct. It's working.

Very interesting shot, Mike. Thanks for sharing that.

I am a total amateur but here is what i have:

[alfie]

Cuban mahogany from a 150 year old table (£40 ~ 5 backs and sides!) and a pair of rough little planes.

[David Houchens]

Its nice to see recycling wood. Nice planes as well. I have plenty of arched ones. I need to make smaller size flat ones.

Fine-looking instrument, Twilo, and great to see good timber being recycled, Alfie. i got some old mahogany a while back from the carcase of a 100-year-old wardrobe and have got some great neck blanks from this. Are you a UK member, Alfie - noticed your £ sign?

[alfie]

I am, I'm in cornwall. Here's an update on both. The mahogany is just incredible in the light, I couldn't help wiping a bit of shellac over it to have a look. The new plane is boxwood, it's much nicer:

Twilo, i really like the marquetry around the top. Did you make it? I've only made a couple pieces for a majestic banjo. nothing that fancy. Had a devil of a time finding the right shade of green. Finally found some poplar heart the right shade. Very nice.

A new addition to my Weber stable:

"Gotcha!"

Here's the next twin-point; just glued the back and top to the rim and cleaned the whole body up. Routing for purfling and binding tomorrow

Nice!

[Hudmister]

Gary, the rosette is beautiful and the back is stunning. I would love to see the finished instrument.

My latest build started off as a righty, and then at the end it somehow turned into a lefty... er wait... I'm so confused... Anyway it's on my bench so it qualifies.

Thanks for the comment- there will be more photos posted when it's complete.

I can't say the same for my post because it won't fit on the bench.

[Timbofood]

So Peter, will that use "Weber carbeurators"? Mine will be calorie powered with a two chicken output.
At least that's the plan for this weekend.

[Pete Jenner]

No, Pagan petrol pumpers Tim.

[Marty Jacobson]

Here's a fun one... spruce over birdseye with buckeye details.

[David Houchens]

poor old marty. Supposedly hotroded by someone famous. John, you may have seen this one. It was one of Rooster's old guitars.

[oldwave maker]

mando-banjo tuneup, later when he asked me to put a pickup on it, I ran over it a couple of times with the '59 chevy 1 ton!

[Spruce]

[J Caldwell]

After lots of other projects, I'm finally getting close to finishing this one.



Hopefully I'll get the strings on and a preliminary setup this weekend. Of course I've been saying that for months.......

[Twilo123]

adding another one to the bench to start up

Very interesting side markers and peghead overlay.

[David Houchens]

New streaked back on the pattern carver. touch of a worm hole left. It'll carve out. Bit is getting a little dull too.
