Doing Things Wrong

Mitre Box

image

I made this little mitre box. It goes in 5-degree steps from 0 to 45 degrees. I don't know if that will actually be useful, but it gives me something to play with. Although I made it with the saw shown, I would use it with a fret saw, which is narrower and runs in the slots nicely. The important thing is not that the angles are super accurate, but that they are repeatable. I think.

Not sure if I will ever use this for anything.

This started as a vintage neck that I got on eBay. I built a reproduction body and hunted-down old-style parts to rebuild this as authentically as possible. The finish is black nitro, which is accumulating nitro damage just from existing. Someday I should strip that garbage off and re-shoot it in polyurethane.
