I glued the bubinga fingerboard to the #bass neck this afternoon. The hard maple neck is reinforced with 2 (probably overkill) carbon fiber rods and a truss rod. Inlays and side markers are Total Boat #epoxy with Black Diamond Pigments for the blue/green color. Now on to the body. #maker #pghmaker #diy #wood #woodworking #clampchamp #bassguitar #luthier #empireofdust

On to the fingerboard for the #Bass project. Made from a piece of Bubinga I’ve had for many years with Total Boat epoxy inlays, I’m installing the frets here using my drill press and an eBay fret press caul. The frets are precut and radiused from Bitter Root Guitars. #maker #pghmaker #diy #luthier #bassguitar #wood #woodworking #cnc #empireofdust

A wooden bass guitar fretboard is displayed on a workbench, secured with clamps. The fretboard features metal fret wires and inlays that are colored blue-green. A tool is positioned above the fretboard, suggesting ongoing maintenance or construction work.

Although I don’t play, I always wanted to make a guitar. Both kids have guitars, so Bass it is. #maker #pghmaker #diy #luthier #bass #guitar #wood #woodworking #cnc #cncrouter #empireofdust

I think Jimmy Diresta once talked about the potential of an empty bench on the Making it podcast with Bob Clagett and David Picciuto. This bench hasn’t been this clear since I moved to my current shop. New projects incoming.

A wooden workbench with a couple of vises. The bench has a smooth surface and is supported by a blue frame, with toolboxes and clamps underneath. A pegboard above holds additional tools.

I used the stitching pony to make this simple sheath for one of the #blacksmith knives I made at Rivers of Steel with Artifact metalworks from some #scrap #leather I’d picked up a while back. .

I’ve been 3D printing since 2013 with a MakerGear M2 fused filament printer, and am truly amazed at what the AnyCubic mono 4k at $189 can do. These are right out of the box, no tuning. The print quality is mind boggling.

I finally got around to making drawers for a bench I made a few years ago from a reclaimed door I got at Construction Junction (an architectural salvage & reuse nonprofit here in #Pittsburgh ) and some square steel tubing. The drawers are simple plywood and pocket hole joinery draw fronts are cherry, and the pulls were from someone running a brushing scam. I only have 18 more to use.

More #introduction content. Here are a few examples of some of my CNC work. The @makemagazine Makey is painted MDF as are the others. Empire Of Dust is how I refer to my shop with apologies to YouTuber AvE. The @NASA Apollo 11 plaque was made in honor of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. The Once on This Island sign was made for my kid who had a nice role in a summer camp production.
