Ah yes, I may be in that boat on the something stirs in the FrankenLab build. I need to build up a heel but I don’t think I’m going to get there

It's the weekend so it must be time for another update on the progress.
Drilled bridge screw holes and string through holes. The string through holes I went about 3/4 of the way through the body.
Then a set up a piece of mdf on my drill press with a reference pin.
Then drilled from the back with a 1/8" bit first and then swapped to an 8mm bit to drill out for the ferrules.
I actually drilled the output jack hole a couple weeks ago as well.
And now that the template is off for the last time, I wiped a bit of Mineral Turps on the front to see what it'll look like once clear coated.
The only thing left to do on the body is to drill the holes for the two pots and the switch, then it's on to sanding and paint.
