    Anyhoo, moving right along....

    A bit of progress today, after a late start (10:30 am)........

    Routed neck pocket and body cavities then fired up the bandosaurus and cut the shape.
    Cleaned it up on the router table, nearly removing a finger in the process.
    Pro tip: Dont get distracted when using the router table....
    Spent a bit of time pfaffing around routing the pup holes.. tried a new method using straight edges rather than a template. Wont bother doing that again.......
    Next up was routing a shallow groove for the earth plate, will talk more about that later.
    Shellac applied to body cavities then rough cut the drop top.
    Glued top on. I do this in two stages, using a backstop to locate the first half then when the first half is glued and clamped I glue the second half on.
    Clamps off and a wipe down with damp rag to pop the figure. Very noice, just wish I could remember what the timber is.... think it is Bloodwood or Flood Gum.........
    Then split a few off cuts to make pup covers and surrounds.
    5pm, time for a well earned beer.

    Interesting... so, bridge screws through the drop top and into/through the grounding plate = grounded bridge. Tricky!

    Maaaaate. You're letting the team down. I reckon you could've squeezed at least another 6 clamps in there!

    Hahahahahahaha!
    I would have but as is always the case, not enough clamps.... No matter how many of the buggers you own, it always seems that you need at least another dozen :/
