It's barsteward heavy and unwieldy is what it is. What's a blum hinge?

Those of you with functional long term memory will recall the making of a new bench leg with vice. Due to the final expiration of our nearly 50 year old central heating over the summer and a move to gas rather than oil, just in time for a certain swivel eyed loony to invade his neighbour and punt the gas price up, which meant the removal of the 5000 litre oil tank. Which in turn means that I have an extra 8.5 sqm of workshop space! Joy! So here is wot I hav bin doing. Pulled the old bench apart and used the "good" leg from it as a part of the new frame. Cut the old top down from 1m x 2m to a more sensible 800mm x 1500mm and put the edging back on. Piled stuff on it. Before fitting the vice and bench drill. The old drill bench was an office desk kindly "donated" by my father in law and bowed dramatically with the weight of the drill. Let's see this one do that! Then because I want a bench on which to make projects firewood, I scoured the interwebz and found this design by Rex Krueger (https://youtu.be/zcq1LQq08lk). Before anyone points out that Rex's bench has two braces underneath, I know, I ran out of timber. I also need to decide where the dog holes need to go and whether I can reuse the old vice chop.

I felt Brockington College by Leicester was reasonably convenient for most attendees.

Aah yes, Psillyos. How to hide everything except the strings in a bass the shape of Snoopys nose 😉

The neck becomes the stave and you can use the truss rod as an arrow?

Screw the hatch down?

Shouldn't it be made from flamed or roasted maple? I'll get me coat....

Nick the tuner area design from Status and have two buttons

On the back, directly behind the A saddle?

They are so cool!

Does it go un-milky over time or once it's gone it's start again time?

I was going to suggest what about getting the Tom Petersen (spelling?) signature model from Gretsch as it's still in production. Then I looked and at $13000 I can see why not!

They're my favourite too. It looks like a Cafe Creme Merci!

Schmelzende Stompboxen gehen weiter

And possibly a tad rude?

Schmelzende Stompboxen

Even bigger challenge for me, I live in Germany so it won't make any sense to anyone

Given that the mark 1 is just a black (orange, kind of crispy) box, if it works why not leave it as is and use it? You may start a trend for melty stompboxes...

Just spritz it with some Halfrauds rattle can lacquer and call it finished

Are you whizzing your boobs off on CA fumes yet @Andyjr1515?

Were you a UHU rep in a former life that you can afford to cover a bass body in superglue?

By Thor's hairy beard Smanth. Glad you're physically OK at lest, take your time over the trauma, don't try and rush things because everyone else thinks you should just woman up over it.

Unglue the fretboard I fear. The new truss rod may be too big for the existing hole. A professional will be along in a bit to tell you I'm wrong

Will that upper "horn" be strong enough, would a single cut be better? Just thinking aloud.
