What's on your workbench?

This could be git related or not. So, what's on your workbench at the moment?

I have 4 scarf joint necks in different stages of work.

A 25" scale pine 5 string neck for a Banjo-Res, A 25" scale Red Oak neck for my 6 string Strat-Res build, A 24 & 1/2" scale Red Oak neck for my 6 string Double Cut Tele build and a 27" scale 6 string Baritone Conversion neck for a Modern Strat body I have.

Taking a break from Voo Doo (electronics). I have these two small, but pretty pieces of wood and a box, and a string... and...

Video, audio, whatever is easiest. I may post an audio file here soon, but doubt I'll do any video any time soon.

I haven't played in awhile due to nerve issue in my left hand. I had nerve blocks in Dec after waiting 7 months to get it done and it didn't do as well as I hoped because of the long wait. I get to see the doctor end of the month and set up another block and hopefully that will work.

Well that sucks, Paul. Hope the doc can get you all set to shred. I've got some pretty serious arthritis, and some real overuse damage to my thumbs, so they don't always work quite right. Good luck to you, man! Lookin' forward to hearing you play.

Got nerve damage to hands and legs that gives me problems now and then and just haven't played in a while, but i can still break out the slide I guess. Maybe a week from now.

I somehow missed this little jewel, Paul. Confirmed what I thought I might know about the subject. Thanks!

Dragged this thing out of mothballs and did some work on it today. Hope to finish it and it's matching amp soon.

A matching set. Should be awesome.

Thank you Paull.

it's been awhile since I did any work on it. Had to take a break from the amp and went in another direction for now. I finished this a few days ago. Was going to make it a contestant for the last Gitty contest, but just didn't get it together in time. 46 wound electric string, and one of my wall-wart wire pickups. Made as a "found" parts instrument. The only thing new in it is some of the screws. Even the string was recycled. Sounds better than it should.
