I have been busy with real life, decided to jump back into my alternate universe. Routed a slot for an aluminum bar, inserted a hardwood dowel to anchor the anchor bolts.
Wanted to see how viable an extension is to do from one piece. Still have to narrow the tenon part and cut a mortise into the body. The previously one, being the first time it was more a hack job. Just a trip to the bandsaw, The narrowing of the tenon part was done with a razor saw and cleaned up with a chisel. Didn't take a picture of it, I'll get one when I put in the bolts.
Cut out then shaped on my drum sander.
Fretboard, I almost forgot the fretboard.
I found this tool on sale, it has some really sharp barbs on it, my thumb will heal. Takes off material quite aggressively.
This is a quick cleanup with the left file, a bast*rd file will get it to it's almost finished state. I could have used just the bast*rd file but wanted to see what the other would do.
Night, night time.
