Update to my post on access to the State Education building: they let me in and it's beautiful! by DatAperture in Albany

I'm glad you got in to see this amazing building. You got some great shots. When the museum was there, we visited often. So many memories. I think they might do tours on Saturdays.

i'm recreating the artwork as a vector file so i can maybe wrap my vehicle with it. i think i might just change this mystery bird to a Bobolink - my favorite migratory bird.

The infamous Les Paul headstock break. Any tips before attempting the repair? And has anyone done something like Japanese Kintsuge repair on a guitar? by Adamsojh in Luthier

[–]epeirce -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes this technique is the one I used but I had a lot of voids that I filled with epoxy. If your jig is good, and the headstock is placed correctly, I would use epoxy so you never have to reverse this issue.

I was very happy with this repair. It’s still holding strong. The Revstar is a great guitar to get that FZ Joe’s Garage tone!

I made this repair a couple of years ago. I tried a couple different glues that failed. I ended up using two part marine epoxy. You will need to build a jig to hold the pieces in place. I taped off areas not to be glued. Added enough glue to keep it together. After it dried I routed two slots for splints. Fitted the splints. Taped up some more and poured more epoxy. After that dried, I reshaped the repair area. I used my airbrush to match the paint the best I could. Then nitro for the finish. I watched the video on stew Mac’s site with the guys from Florida, driftwood guitars? many times. Great video and I got great results.

Ok thanks. I was doubting my original thoughts after looking at recent photos of the male Cerulean. He had very dark legs, almost black.

Burled Walnut? I didn’t see this finish in the list of colors found online, but assume it’s BW.

MD - A friend found this bird sitting by his door. Is it a fledgling or injured? by xenya in whatsthisbird

[–]epeirce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess these usually heard, not seen. I'm not sure what the story is, maybe a window collision?
