Irony, it’s like bronzy and coppery only it's made of iron, as Baldrick said
I’ve spent the whole trying to work out why a huge multi module “mvnw” script from sonatype was failing on my pc only, which at 1629 today turned out to be a typo in their (widely published on GitHub) script and not my issue at all
Getting there ....
The plate still has film on it
I need to connect pup to pot
need tug bar fitted
i still need to get concentric knobs from somewhere
BEFORE any one points it out
1. I know the first position block is slightly wonky
2. I know stack knobs didn’t have blocks and so are not strictly accurate
and a skip to take delivery of all the grain filler needed, and then another skip full for filling in the vast yawning chasms that will open up whenever anything liquid like say, paint, varnish, cleaner gets within 100 metres of it.
So
the neck is on
bridge on
earthing strip in 62 style
straplocks
MOP block markers
Tomorrow:
earthing in cavities
Pickups
strings
control plate although I have no knobs
dry fitting of Tort celluloid plate and tug bar
ive given up on the body, it’s as good as it was going to get. It looks okay from the front and will relic quickly as there is minimal varnish and the nitro paint marks and scrapes easily, more so given careless handling... and who on earth would be careless in handling it?😎
