Projects with fretless necks.
This is the biggest of the Audiovoxes, weighing in at a full 12 pounds, with a 36" scale. The neck is a Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba) floorboard over maple, with a straight cutout headstock. There are over 100 marker dots. The body is veneered masonite over solid plywood, with Danelectro-style Tolex binding. There are also strap buttons, this instrument can be played vertically or horizontally.

This one is almost identical in construction to the Danelectro-style - masonite over chambered plywood body, masonite pickguard. The neck is purpleheart over maple, with plastic fret lines. The soundhole merely serves as a pickup mount, and the pickup was just insurance against never getting the intended piezo system to work. Eventually, I did get it to work, the piezo is incorporated in a modified bridge, and sounds great. 30" scale.

Here is my bench-top belt sander, rotated up vertical. I've never been very impressed with this thing, and it has seen very little use, especially since I got the oscillating sander. But I thought I'd get it out and see what it might be good for. You can see there is no abrasive on the sanding disk. The disk doesn't do anything the belt can't do much better. Sooner or later though, you will forget it is there spinning away, and find it with a knuckle or finger - ouch. At some point, it also tore up the power cord. I took the disk off to clean it, and I was tempted to leave it off - the spinning nub is much less dangerous. But the back of the disk is the cooling fan for the motor, so I put it back. The smooth aluminum is fairly safe.
