I went ahead and put a coat of sanding sealer on the body and the tear on edge of the neck cavity expanded (so I did learn something here ). Eventually it broke off, so now I have the little chip in a ziplock waiting to be glued in.

Tried to expand the bridge pickup cavity, my chisel work is horrible. Trying to just move on from it by telling myself it will be covered up,


While doing my first coat of sanding sealer the hook I was hanging it with let go and body fell right on top of my tin of sanding sealer... There are now many dents and scratches on the body and a lot of sanding in my future. I feel like the dent is too deep to sand out so I may try using sawdust and wood glue to fill it after I sand it back.


Horrible pic but it's too hot right now!
