Plonking Together: The Old E One

Well, a bit of a finishing day all-in-all today..

I've started to lacquer The Travellin' Man One, and am rather pleased, chuffed and generally made-up that the rustification of The Old E One is complete.

The fotos are a plonk together of course, but it looks nice to me and to be honest, love you though I do, I am particularly selfish in this way. Yet, ironically, so giving in others. Either way, I like it, so that is that.

With a bit of luck then, I'll get it together proper-like tomorrow and be twanging the night away.

As for The Betty Blue One, well, the top is corroding as I type. That will then get a lacquer or three before being attacked with my walnut burr veneer and generally it will no doubt descend into all manner of Bosch-like angst, but there we are.

That will be one for next week I fear. Can't be clamping over the weekend, who knows where things will end if you start clamping of a weekend.

So from my original start-of-the-week-wish-list, I just need to make a scratchplate and do a T Shirt and I can feel the warmth of fulfilment beneath my bosom. And what more can you ask for in life?

I must admit I'm still trying to get my head around what to do with the T Shirts, on one hand it would be easy to print a foto of a guitar, but then it's a bit of a so what kinda thing. On the other I can think of lots of other ways to make such a delight cool and creamy, but don't really know whether it would surive a washing machine or not. Never had to worry about that before. I guess a bit of a trial is in order, so that is the plan tomorrow.

A poodle and a tit

La la laaa

Nice one Jooky - it looks like the Porn Shop One's twisted Strato-cousin.
