managed to get some pics of the 4 beer label axes we been building. it's been a fun project, we also built a BLA clock.
Been a while since I posted any updates,
Off to visit DB tomoz arvo so that should be fun and we will try and find something that will get DB a sentence in the naughty warehouse !
PS Ads I must get browny points for the last photo slipped in a PBG sticker on the side !
They look great wokka, must be hard work finding "materials"...
Nice work Wokka. I especially like the V!
cheers,
Gav.
lookin great Wokks
cheers Stan, Gav and Andy.
The Flying V is Popeye's build, the bridge posts were drilled too close together so he's plugged the holes and will re-drill and should have that making noise soon.
The guitars look cool.
cheers Doc.
I also made a beer label clock that sits above the bar, this was a pine body star shaped axe I started about 3 years ago.
Made the half neck out of a piece of jarrah

Jarrah is a nice wood, it's also an indigenous Australian species too, I wonder what a Stratocaster guitar made entirely out of Jarrah would sound like?
Nice work Woks all-round, agree with Gav +1 for the V!
Do the labels still have a beer aroma? yumm

i think jarrah would make a great guitar but it would be very heavy, chambered might work though

Maybe that's an idea for new Pitbull kits, will make a post in the new PBG kits ideas thread.
Jarrah is not really a very good tonewood.. I built a few Bass Beasts out of it, I called them the Schwarzenegger Series :p
However, you can use Jarrah as a cap.
Perry Ormsby built a Guitar with a Birdseye Jarrah cap and it looks and sounds freaking awesome!
Geez Woks, were all those labels as a result of all the beers you keep promising inmates at the Naughty Warehouse? Wish I was there to help a mate obviously in need of a hand.
BTW just read in the weekend paper that XXXX Gold is the most popular beer in the country outselling VB and many other staples. Do you need me to send over a carton so that you can get in on the act?
hey Waz, I recycle all the empty bottles in the NW so all good.
I go on an annual trip to Townsville to watch the V8 supercars and catch up with a mate, but I have managed to dodge XXXX gold for about 5 years, I'm not a fan of beers that have less flavour than a water cooler haha
PS I reckon that survey of best beer in the country was only held in Qld !
Funny how most states have at least one totally undrinkable beer....
NSW, Resches Pilsener is the most foul tasting rubbish
QLD, undoubtedly has to be XXXX
VIC, anything brewed by Carlton
WA, Emu Bitter........
thats it DB, yesterday Popeyes bro in law Rozza made Popeye and me drink an emu export (bush chook) and to top it off we were photographed, so give you the big tip that photo won't be making it to social media or this forum !
Its taken about 24 hours to wash the fowl taste out of my mouth !
Is anyone else having trouble viewing these pictures on mobile?
edit: on dtop now. Great pics
You could do themed ones wokka: all Aussie beers, all import beers... Better start collecting materials!
hey cheers for the idea Stan, that thought had crossed my mind ! Will start collecting more labels !
Hey DB, you seemed to have forgotten anything brewed by Swan. Probably all gone down the gurgler with the rest of the Bond empire.Quote:
