All great projects start out as a pile of Dad's fine hardwood. This all hails from beautiful Northern Michigan. That's a piece of maple, red oak, and walnut hailing from my homeland.
Essential construction materials - wood, plans, and a copy of Build Your Own Electric Guitar
Is that not the most kick-ass table saw you've ever seen? Ten bucks off craigslist!! I have a couple hundred in hardware to fix it up. I built that rip fence myself from some 2x2 box tubing I had laying around. It's copied off the Biesemeyer T-Square design and will rip to within 1/64" accuracy quite easily. I don't know how people make stuff without one of these. My tablesaw is king of the shop. I recently pulled the sheet metal wing off one side a built an extension router table out of 3/4" melamine ply. If you haven't figured it out yet, I hate buying things and love building them.
Here are all the ripped laminates - 1" maple, 1/8" walnut and 1/4" oak.
Honey, is that a bunch of wood glued together dripping Titebond all over the living room floor? No. Go back to watching Jersey Shore.
One laminated and planed neck blank, ready to become the most awesome guitar ever!!
