4 layers of black stain, 4 layers of various walnut stains, 4 layers of tung oil and 4 layers of wax later: I’m really really scared to drill the final pieces into place.

If you have a UV map view superimposed with the faces, you can do a lot of early error detection. far more if you can visualize double lines and normals.

Still shocked by what a killer album it is, and that I only found out about it in the 2010s

Most Fender-matching CADs are available online, a CNC shop will accept a CAD and slab of wood (but won’t cure or roast it, which is a shame). @nitzunitzu.bsky.social designed the scratchplate and control hardware from datasheets. All of this shows up at your door for only 5x retail cost

I like having eyebrows instead of wax burns tyvm

Have any of you had a normal day

(said amp was probably not really 120w, as it had 2xEL34, so possibly 50-100W IRL, but it was still WAY TOO LOUD for a rehearsal room and most cabs I had access to)

yes, I have avoided valves @ home since my teenage band’s 120w plexi-type amp caused nuisance to no end, and really enjoy the tiny Yamaha THR amps, but since starting to play with others again, I need something bigger, and wondering whether I should get an FRFR or something like the Harmony 5W amps

NYC apartment question: is the 7W mode quiet enough? (I tend to avoid British preamps because of low overhead, so this is a question about the power stage)

Missing it this year, but please accept remote applause from a longtime fan of your work.

If it’s a green bubble I’d rather receive nothing thx
