Sharpie lines on the back and a shot of clear coat.
Art Guitar Project
I found this 3/4 scale harmony at the guitar show with a broken neck for $5. A little wood glue and about 8 feet of surgical tubing to clamp it up and it’s playable again. I have a gfs humbucker that I’m going to mount in the sound hole, I’ll wire it with a coil tap, volume and tone. Top back and sides will receive some sharpie art.
A silver tone type case might be nice.
Uke Case Update
Here’s the uke case in progress. I’m getting ready to fit the interior padding and fabric covering. The exterior will also receive a little relic treatment.
Bluesbreaker Update
The silver box had been sprayed gold, and I created a franztone water slide decal. The decal cracked a bit as it dried, I like the effect so It’s a keeper. I’ve mounted a some of the hardware, soldering to commence shortly.

This might be a better solution for the philco project
A great set of legs
$2 garage sale find will make a perfect base for my ouija lapsteel project.
I trust the bish
I spent a couple of hours working on the RV here are a couple of pics of the work in progress.
I started with a scrap canvas drop cloth dyed to match with tan and yellow rit fabric dye. I glued the replacement fabric in place with Bish’s original tear mender.

A Busy Sunday III
The last find of the day was a box of tuners for $1 each, I made a $6 investment. I think these should work well with my lap steel project
A Busy Sunday II
I found myself at the central ohio guitar show in the afternoon where I found a “great deal” a fender cyber deluxe for $75. The owner claimed ups damage, it still plays and the presets are accessible via included midi controller. I’m saving this project for the winter when I have more time.
A Busy Sunday
I started the day early (about 6:30) and worked on Rio for two hours. After that Mona and I went to to Antrum to run with fellow Jack Turtles Wendy, Conchetta, Jeff and Anna. 5.1 miles at a conversation pace felt good. Bill joined us for breakfast at Bob Evans where I indulged in a down home breakfast.
