    I see you've very busy with the pedal projects. You taking a break from guitars?

    I needed to get a cheap router table (two mdf boards with an insert plate) set up to make the working templates. Hopefully I might finish the templates this weekend. I'm going to be hampered a bit though because I don't have a thicknesser and because of the Covid situation the woodworking group I'm a part of has closed the shed at the moment which means I can't access the thicknesser there.

    After I'm able to reduce the timber blanks down to required thickness it can be full steam ahead because I have everything else I need including all the hardware.

    Oh and I also need to wind the bridge and neck pickups for it and then pot all 3 pickups.

    Is that one of the Canberra Men's Sheds? I thought about joining the Weston Creek one to get some help with my woodworking skills.

    Nah mate, I'm part of the A.C.T. Woodcraft Guild. You should have a look if your interested. They have an instrument makers group that meets every second Tuesday from roughly 6pm - 9pm.
