It’s #weeknotes time! Fun at Liverpool MakeFest, a round of mending broken parts, and helping a friend make a clock case:

This week’s #weeknotes: Looking forward to Liverpool Makefest on the 30th, and the prototype offset is all but complete!

This week’s #weeknotes: 3D printing parts for the current guitar in progress, learning about how to treat wenge, and unexpected turns in making my own pick guards.

Failure strategies and how I made my peace with unconditional optional unwrapping in swift:

Time for #weeknotes: a quiet week in the shop, a look back on the last half year, and moving multiple things forward as we start the next half:

It’s #weeknotes time: I make progress on the prototype offset some more, find a potential alternative CNC router option, play around a bit in fusion, and experiment with some simple DSP code.

Weeknotes time! Cutting out templates, staining things yellow, laser etching headstocks, and giving my guitars a service.

It’s #weeknotes time - a lot of time spent in Fusion 360: designing templates for existing guitars, imagining future guitars, and teaching others how to building and fabricate things.

Weeknotes: derailed by a rogue CNC router, and how to get Fusion 360 to generate DXF for laser cutting:

Two weeks in the shop: despite a brief visit to Skye, some progress on the prototype offset, and some guitar related C++ was written :)

I overdosed on Portland indie/folk this morning, and then came up with this little jam at lunchtime.

A simple macOS UI for managing local Docker containers:

A week in the shop: more prototyping of parts for the offsets to validate their design and regain my confidence, and some fun teaching people the tools I use to build guitars.

A week in the shop: trying to regain momentum on builds, and going back and making sure I really have measured twice on the designs before cutting.

It's #weeknotes time: fun talking at CamCreatives, and progress on the CNC router issues that have set me back:

https://www.electricflapjack.com/blog/2018/4/3/a-week-in-and-out-the-shop

It's #weeknotes time: a week of frustrations in the workshop, with a rogue CNC machine and possibly some salt to blame. Confused? So am I!

It's #weeknotes time: more on the new approach to neck building, learning how to make capped guitar bodies, and the ups and downs of demoing your guitars in public:

It's #weeknotes time: cutting the first bits of wood from my own guitar designs, and where did I get the wood in the first place.

In Cambridge next week and would like to see and hear my guitars, and see the community workshop where I build them?

It's #weeknotes time: giving the amp its first play, should I build more amps, and getting the prototype series guitar builds started.
