Every time we get thrown under the bus, make it this bus.
It's harder to stand a bus back up than to throw someone under it, but why do both when you can save yourself the effort of either?

Ok, I realise everybody and their belphegoat was doing this 5 years ago, but I had to keep calm & carry on back then & started getting my sides done cos masks made silly tufts stick out over my ears.
Anyway, that looks passable, no?

Whodathunk all that photography gear would come in handy?

Ok so the pose isn't there yet, the proportions aren't there yet and most of the concept exists only in my bonce.
But it's closer than sod all, and that matters, right?

Here's a chunk of wood that had chips chiselled out.

Huff. Carving is much easier with a mallet so I need a new one before I can make much headway.
How do you lose a fucking mallet!? It's a block of wood on a stick, you dunce! Is that it? No, dipshit, that's your reflection. Wrong block, wrong stick.
Still, it's progress from nowt.

I am definitely unqualified to call myself an amateur luthier but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be like that. I have a sneaking suspicion it may be broken.

I... *phew* I did the goddamn thing!
There are many issues, cosmetic and technical. The gap in the guard looks dorky and the neck isn't totally straight (but it's flush with the socket so *shrug*). The saddle grub screws are rusty so setting up will be a pain, but you know what?

Very grateful to Sheffield's Shakespeares, a well-know real ale pub and popular concert venue, for posting this on Instagram. Afaik they have no bluesky presence so I figured I'd spread the good word.

It'll be easy, she said. It's fine, she said, I can just re-use the old hardware. I'll be joining the cool kids in Baritone Conversion Club in no time, she said.
That is totally the reverse setting on my drill, she said, making herself wrong about all those things she said before.
