Business as Usual

Unfortunately this is not a finished project. Took a picture for shits and well, now I guess I better post it online for no other reason than it's here. So, they're parts for a console lap steel. Have a look by clicking the link, it's very similar but with just one neck and no pedals. Anyway, now that the parts are half way polished I just thought of a modification I want to make so it'll probably not look like what's on the picture in the end.

And now for something completely different! I've been using crappy old computer speakers to plug my Ipod into to get some tunes going in the shop when I work alone. Well, they sound exactly like a rat stuck in a tin can maybe even a little worst. I decided to make something with a little more oumph. I procured speakers out of a Land Rover that's being scrapped and a shipping crate for bearings, oh and a door handle from the Land Rover and the amp out of the computer speakers. That's what I came up with.

 And here it is with its Steinway paint job. Can't remember where I read this but apparently when Steinway delivers a piano and they make a chip in the paint the "technicians" will use a Sharpie pen to cover the spot. If it's good enough for Steinway and sons then it's good enough for me. So I just went ape ship with a felt tip pen!
