I make guitars, bad jokes and occasional furniture. But mostly I say what ever pops into my head.

One thing I love to do is make electric guitars. They usually look like this, my SkyBeam model. Available in any imaginable configuration.
Always good to meet other guitar lovers and makers.

Not often you have to whip out a spirit level doing guitar work. But I'm drop-filling some nasty chips in the finish that make it impossible to play.

Without bending the laws of three-dimensional space, is it actually possible to remove the battery from a 2014 Ford Focus?

Preparing to glue the binding back on this gorgeous PRS after a speaker landed on it. Then some finish repair.
Soon it'll be playable without shards of polyester entering the owner's hand!

I wonder how long you could drive in a roundabout before a cop would be like hey you can't do that anymore.

I've accidently waved at a passing car then died from embarrassment because it was a stranger but I've never accidently whipped out a sig heil.

I love everything Burls Art does I think. These remind me of those old salt lamps.

I never did manage to make this #bernie on Mars concept guitar.
Like a SG but headless, multi scale, offset and through body. I did make it in sparkly yellow though.

Is there anything of actual tangible use in any of the #Switch2 announcements? It's another Switch, yeah thanks. It'll still have that awful control layout.
However I'm 100% getting one 😂
