FrankenWashie's Fourth, The TLA-TH

[FrankenWashie]

Well the standard line is "Try the Veal" but that's not PC these days...

Never heard of that expression before? Probably best not try and explain on a PG rated forum I suppose.

[FrankenWashie]

so we have made a little progress, a weekend spent making routing templates, figuring stuff out, stuffing stuff up and making the best of it.





edit: can someone tell me how to delete the attached image? I didn't want that one there.
edit@: Thanks WazKelly, i couldn't figure it out and it was making me nuts.

When you click 'Edit' it shows which images are attached and from there you can delete if required.

Looking good to me. What's the plan for the Strat pickup mounting? Fix a metal or plastic plate in the cavity with a couple of mounting holes drilled in it?

Frankenlab seems to be working well FW. nice job so far

Spot on Simon. I am going to prep two plate versions in different materials, 3mm brass plate and 3mm 6AL4V Titanium, the plate will mount both PUPS and secure to that middle section with flush mount screws.

I thought the brass would provide some good resonance and the Titanium is to hold down the weight if the brass is too heavy. ( and cause I though it would just be cool!)

I may need to invest in an Igor soon, predominantly for sanding.

[Simon Barden]

With a 3mm thick plate of either brass or titanium in that relatively small size of cavity, I doubt you'd get much resonance from either, especially if firmly screwed against the wood which will damp it. But it will be a nice firm fixing for the pups.
