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.

Kids Canjo off the bench a few hours ago? 24”x3/4” Poplar dowel w/ dark wood stain & varathane, steel coconut milk can, bamboo toothpick frets, bamboo skewer nut, recycled/broken tuner fixed w/ scrap of oak, B string(.013) tuned to C3, 18.5” scale length for small fingers, 8 fret diatonic scale.

This Canjo is a kid’s introduction to musical instruments, I hope he likes it?

That's a fine looking canjo. I'm sure the kid will enjoy it!

Hey Paul, how about this bunch of projects? if you lived closer I would share them with you. Hahaha.

Nothing special.

All were donated by one guy, I thought that was cheap enough. I haven't checked them out yet but none a broken.

Hi Madegomer, I don't need the work. Counting these guitars, others stashed away waiting in line, those I have serviced, and those hanging on the wall, I have fifty different instruments. Guitars, mandolins, a cello, banjos, and violins. All are given at no cost.

Where does one start?...

...see what I mean...

Cheers Taff

Taff,
I have a wall like that too. Plus CBGs, other instruments and boxes and cans to make into instruments. So many toys, so little time.....
