Oh cool. I do a lot of random projects too. Working on a weird bicycle this weekend :)

Check out the other photos in the thread. The tuning pegs are now located under the bridge. I put a clip on tuner on the bridge, pluck the string with my fretting hand and adjust with the strumming hand. It's all backwards, but works fine!

Lol soz! What are your projects? You should post some!

Thanks haha, I did/do have plans to make something that doesn't slice into the back of my neck, but I agree, the twine aesthetic is too appropriate for now.

Would love to get a delay pedal in there, but happy with the current line up.

I assume there will be questions... it was built from a cheap, small classical guitar to be something I could travel with~
The pickup you see is not currently wired up (dun worry I know it won't work with nylon strings - it's there if/when I wanna try steel strings.) There is a piezo pickup under the bridge at the moment. The strings route over the roller bridge, around another set of rollers and then to tuners - which is the headstock I chopped off the neck.
It's pretty quiet and gross, but also fun to play and work on for a laugh.

Go to junk yard. Get ratty bike, washing machine motor and old power tool battery. Duct tape. Exchange for legit e-bike?! Profit?

Very cool! At one point I sketched out some plans for a cargo tall bike with fabric side panels that could be pegged out to make a tent.

The cost of some medications is mental. Can easily rack that bill up with things like biologics. Tho with 66k being the average there must be some monster bills at the high end...

I've done a few river clean up days recently and it's comical tragedy fishing these soy sauce containers out of the water. It's a good painting Mark.

 

I learned a few things from recent rolls. Yep, this camera has a sizable light leak. And the new scanners at airports cause noticeable Xray damage (never used to have a problem).
