Did a mad Taswegian bite you on the toe Bob? I'd cut it off - he could have rabies. Hip. Nah. I stubbed the bloody thing this morning getting the wood out of the car. :D I stubbed my foot today too :( I was getting a lead on the table and there was a box under it and I lost my balance and BLAM.

Some nice looking workshops here. I especially like Jons!

When I get all my Bass materials together, i'll clean up the woodworking area of dads shed take some pictures. It's got everything but a bandsaw and a thickness sander, but I have access to these things at school.

Hot glue from the Hot Glue gun

Heh Heh Heh After some hot glue was left over from a project in woodwork class, I was making fingerprints in it because there was nothing to do. Then I ran out of glue, so I squeezed myself some new glue from the gun and dipped my thumb right into it forgetting all about the hot and thinking only of...

Man, you're one smart guy. My dad's shed has heaps of old junk that he doesn't use at all, I wonder what useful things you'd make if you had a spare month in there! :D

Thank you. I'm sure my dad would let me test out the mountain ash, If worst comes to worst, i'll glue two pieces together, or in a completely different outcome an idea struck me, maybe laminate something in-between. :D But there's always the possibility that it isn't dried properly :? I'll have a ya...

That Is A bit hard, i'm not an experienced luthier, I'm 14 and would like to try and get into luthiery (before now I've only put together one custom kit) but I don't have a large selection of luthiery woods.

In my dads shed, he has Aussie mountain ash but it's not thick enough for a whole body.

The reason I'm using swamp Ash is because of it's grain. in the pictures above, the guy who owns the bass has used a steel brush to take away the softer wood in the grain there, like on some Warwick basses.
