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.

Here's the workpiece. While it doesn't look like much it's quite functional. Just forget the mess behind. I have more storage projects in the works.

Functionality is success.

Hi, that's great. Many of my workstations are on wheels, even my planer/jointer. I would not be able to get all my machines to fit if I didn't.

Definitely!

And I'm a bit more proud of the result since I only had a jigsaw to work with and I somehow managed to loose a bit of blood when I tried to unscrew the palm of my hand with an impact driver. Took a few days for the big bruise I had in my hand to go away...

But yeah, wheels are definitely a must in any shop. My workspace is pretty small at about 6x8 feet, so everything has to do double and triple duty and be easy to move. And since the concrete floor is definitely uneven, I need locking wheels... I learned that the hard way with my router table/tool chest that keeps moving by itself.

Functional and a blood sacrifice. ;)

:D Made me laugh :)

Actually with me, this is not too rare as I'm a bit accident prone :)

Shaping the neck on the CB bass I was asked to build. This is actually one of my favorite parts of a build.

Clay dots, the fella is a security guard and helped with the designed of the build.

Thanks Paul. Yes, clay dots are patriotic and a memorial at the 12th for law enforcement. On the body will be the USA flag and the blue thin line law enforcement flag.
