I got a little more work done today. First up was the jack plate
Got it laid out and then to work with the tin snips
Then after the bench grinder, it looks like this. Just needs holes drilled, and it's done
After that, I wanted to work a little more on the bridge. First I needed to cut the flange off the second side
Next, the secondary piece of metal was worrying me, so I got rid of it. I didn't realize there would be no paint underneath it, but that's ok. It's done now
Then I worked on making sure the back side was flat and as square as I could get it.
The bridge still needs a lot of shaping (cut to size, drill holes, cut out area for pickup, etc), but it's getting there.
