ShopVac

This is what a pound and a half of sawdust looks like. You'd be surprised how fast you can make it. This little vacuum, set up to be ultra-convenient, is worth its weight in gold. The vacuum is basically integrated into the workbench, so it is always handy. Both belt sanders have quick hookups.

This baby ShopVac was another freebie for review from Home Depot. It works just fine and fits right under the workbench on a shelf I built for it. I extended the hose with another that fits from a vacuum I scavenged from the roadside.

Radiatabacker Part IIb

July 20, 2020

This is what I've settled on for the neck. The main part is plain maple from Home Depot. The headstock wings are leftover floorboard from the upright project, Brazilian Cherry. The fretboard is also Brazilian Cherry. The truss rod is 540mm, which will require a 21 fret neck. Or I could cut it down a bit and weld the ends back together, but that's more work.
