Well - I gave up on the jointer that my son loaned me and just went
to work on things the old way. I used some scrap walnut that I had
in the garage forever, and proceeded to make every mistake in the
book. As shown in the pictures, it only has one coat of oil on it,
and will receive a couple of more. As well, I haven't cut down the
stop screw that holds the guide in place for the selected thickness
of stock, yet. I will...

Not Leon or Karl quality work for sure, but this was an enjoyable
project to undertake. It felt good using my garage for something
besides sheet metal and paint work. It has been a loooooong time
since I've used any of my woodworking equipment for anything more
than cutoffs or rough work.

But - it works, it's solid, and the pile of scrap walnut is a little
bit smaller.

Here's a link to pictures...

Damn, Bubba, why dincha go ahead and use some curly maple/ebony trim
while you were at it?

'Cause I'm saving all my curly maple scraps to glue together to make a new
guitar! I only need about 20 more pounds of scrap...


Just kidding ... Looking good, and well done!

Thank you sir.
