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.

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:
That is absolutely stunning - beautiful work! Man!

Bullshit! It's just a nickname, haha. I have an undergrad in Mech Engineering, though!

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.

Very interesting, looking forward to see more of this...
