| | | | | A catch of events both out of (attending Wuthering Bytes, talking at OSHCamp) and back in the workshop (a lot of carving and sanding). | |

| | | | | I've devoted a decent portion of my shop time over the past six months to building a guitar. Now, you may note that a guitar is not a boat, and this blog is about me building a boat. And you'd be right. But, the older child plays guitar, and he's outgrown the cheap guitar we bought him a while back. He had his eyes on a '70s style Telecaster Deluxe, which combines the classic Telecaster body shape with a few extra knobs - each pickup gets it's own volume and tone knob. | |

| | | For now, at least, I'm using hand planes to shape the spars. Pretty much every how-to video you'll see on spars shows the use of a power plane (perhaps after a band saw has roughed out the shape.) Well, I don't have a power plane (although one could be had at the tool library), but I also rather like the notion of shaping these pieces by hand. Hand planes are quiet. | ||
