I must admit I delayed putting this up because I wasn’t sure how to say ‘I love what I’ve done here’ without sounding like I’ve got my head shoved in the shade. But hey I love what’s come out of my most recent session with this most beautiful guitar. To … https://t.co/BU3K8MZ1wQ
Now I don’t want to go in all heavy or anything but after the trauma associated with working the Mother of Pearl to shape, routing the holes with the dremel (a fine detail kind of routing tool) and then heading in with a seriously sharp 2mm chisel, all t… https://t.co/cpgmTqLZF1
Is it possible to say anything new about Nacre? The irregular composite flaunting itself about as Mother of Pearl. Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with anyone - or any thing - flaunting themselves about. Life is indeed short, you don’t need to tell… https://t.co/pEZQ66TuPR
I can assure you this picture is far less rock and roll than it looks. Just a couple of strokes with the file was all that was recommended, and yet as usual I go in heavy and take out way too much. This is the nut that I mentioned a couple of weeks back.… https://t.co/L3vTY9h4GB
Brass glorious brass, I mean it really takes my breath away when it’s freshly polished, there’s a depth to it - possibly from the way it’s machined - not to mention that glorious colour. Still it’s a demanding mistress and no mistake, miss a polish and y… https://t.co/b4Vwt30m6i
Setting the string height to match the curve of 10” diameter fretboard ... before realising the intonation (whether you’re exactly an octave higher at the 12th fret) was considerably flatter than it should be. You can see the saddles (the brass cylinders… https://t.co/yggWk6kO7Y
The line up so far! The two fender inspired guitars on the left are complete, and the two Rascals on the right have just been started. I’m thinking the guitar on the far right (physically rather than politically) - The Rascal Wraith - would make a great … https://t.co/Y8POnBzfmq
Wow it’s been a while, but then to be honest I’m struggling a little with the entire idea of using social media, for my well being and yours. Still everything in moderation including moderation itself, at least that’s what my mum used to say, and I can c… https://t.co/amtzHiH1SE
Today I worked backwards.
I undid much of the learning, at least that which was possible,
Gathered and reapplied the filth I had removed through cleaning,
I collected my waste and reformed much of what I'd eaten and drunk.
I returned from work early and… https://t.co/BIWty2GDzU
The many colours of mother of pearl. On closer inspection you can see that the edges of the frets have been filed to roughly 30 degrees, although in this image they’re not quite finished - additional filing will take just a fraction of a millimetre off t… https://t.co/OkY6CKdhYo
Through the desolation of fixation, a desecration of elation enflames the enlightenment of creation, on which we affix our liberation. No honestly. https://t.co/YudJxbLmuh
