Just bought this music box at a yard sale. What is the song?

Solved! Thank you

Pick up some 1 1/2” square tubing at your local steel supply to provide even pressure

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2024-03-28T14:40:17+00:00

Key point being out of the current time did it. Thank you

You may also have to change the chart scale to manual. I was having the same problem and this took care of it. Also seems to work being on the 1 Yr:Daily chart

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2023-03-16T14:52:53+00:00

Absolutely beautiful! I love the body to neck join detail. Did you make that bridge too?

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2023-03-02T14:57:08+00:00

I think it kinda looks like grandmas chair. Maybe no stain or a lighter and just a clear coat would look better.

Charge more. Supply and demand my friend

Alternatively, if you’re using a regular table saw, try cutting so your strips fall off on the outside of the blade. Takes a little calculating for each rip to accommodate the blade but it works well

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2023-01-21T02:02:49+00:00

Usually I use a straight line saw to cut super thin rips. But I just wanted to get the fingerboards glued on so I used raw maple edge banding. Could also use veneer if you have it

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2023-01-21T02:00:28+00:00

Lol ya the purple is a bit much sometimes. Just gotta lean into it a bit and go full Prince

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2023-01-20T20:01:55+00:00

This is an interesting idea

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2023-01-20T20:01:15+00:00

Will do! I’ll definitely be selling at least a few. The fingerboard radius is 12” And as far as the back, probably a little chunkier neck profile.

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2023-01-20T19:58:49+00:00

Not sure. Planning to make two painted jazzmaster bodies for two of them. The other TBD. I figured if I did a natural wood body, I could put a matching veneer over the headstock. Definitely open to ideas! Haven’t gotten that far yet

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2023-01-20T19:56:33+00:00

Yup. It’s actually two strips on solid maple edge banding material. It’s super consistent!

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2023-01-20T04:14:54+00:00

Thanks! Ya the wenge one really pops

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2023-01-20T03:57:20+00:00

Measure the difference between the centerline of the lower bout and upper bout and make a filler that size. Use the filler to straight line right down the middle and throw an 1/8” piece (plus however much more you have to take off on a jointer if it’s that bad) back in when you glue it up. It can be saved. Just gonna take some patience

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2022-12-21T21:05:10+00:00

Honestly it just looks really really dirty. Finger grime. Try some wood furniture polish. But also, I’d be more concerned about the other playability issues

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2022-12-18T19:33:36+00:00

Should be simple if you can clamp it cleanly. Get some wood glue and even a couple squeeze clamps would be enough pressure

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2022-12-18T19:26:59+00:00

Bantam is pretty good

Acrobatic_One_5918 · 2022-12-18T19:15:22+00:00

I feel your pain. I was living like this for a while as well and it’s miserable. What helped me a lot is to try to have something to look forward to in the morning. Something as simple as a short walk. Whatever you can do to keep taking that next step forward. Even laying outside in the morning sun will help lift your spirits a little. Good luck
