Members Elias Graves Posted January 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 I got the top/back/neck joint tidied up some. I will have to deal with the stripe from the filler strip though. And I got the controls mounted up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted January 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 Next is devising a way to get to the controls for service. I'm going in through the back. First, a hole. The back is too thin to try to carve a lip for attaching the top, so that's a seperate piece. And glued in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elias Graves Posted January 25, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 25, 2013 Good to see the old thread made it. I have new pics but can't post em from the phone and I'm not at the computer, so they'll have to wait. I did get a test pickup in it to make sure the damn thing works. The video is of my kid noodling on it. The dog's name is Kevin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
