Re: What's on your workbench right now?
Well it's about done being on my workbench at this point, but THIS! Custom amp build for a customer. Its basically a half-power Sunn Model T. All the Sunn sounds but lighter, more compact, and a *slightly* more reasonable power level. 2 x 6550. Still loud as hell, but the intent is mostly for loud cleans and it has plenty of that:

Re: What's on your workbench right now?
That's a fantastic orange!
I don't have pics at the moment, but I've been building a platform kind of thing for doing jigsaw puzzles. I like doing puzzles during the colder months when I'm stuck inside. But with a new puppy in the house, the large piece of cardboard I have used for the last few years isn't going to cut it. There is a large main surface with rails on all sides to hold everything in, removeable trays that slide along the top and bottom rails to help with sorting pieces, and a cover piece with toggle latches so I can close things up when I'm not actively using it. I'm using poplar, masonite, and cork. I'm just waiting on some adhesive felt strips for the bottom and I can start using it.

Inspired by Marauder, my friend constructed a stealth pickups bass for himself.
Today, we cut the samba cover which has cavities for pickups and electronics in it.
He plans to held all together with neodymium discs.
