To-do list - Status

I am having slow progress on the T-beam bass (remember the to-do list?). I have carved out the curves for neck and body on the aluminium beam using hacksaw and file. There is still some filing to do before I mount the mahogany sides, which will also have the same bottom shape as the T-beam.

Time to buy a decent plane and spokeshave.

And to learn to use them.

I'm glad you enjoy the project - although the progression could be faster.

Nice paddle bass! I like the idea of turning everyday items into guitars and basses, especially if they turn out sounding good and playing well. And thanks for the link.
