A Month Out the Shop
21 Jul 2024 - älgen, delfinen, emf, liverpool, makefest, sweden, verkstaden
A summer summary: I've presented at two major events where I showed off the guitars, I went on holiday and bumped into some interesting guitars, and I went to a non-guitar event where I made some design observations I can apply to guitars!

A month in the shop: wrapping up Delfinen
Workshop weeknotes: Delfinen becomes an instrument at last.
1 Mar 2024 - binding, delfinen, finishing, laser-cutting
Is this a guitar I see before me? Another weeknotes catching up with all that's happened to Delfinen since we last saw it, including it getting strung up for the first time.

It has a vivid orange-stained wood body with white binding and white pickup mounts, and a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard.](/blog/2024/03/01/a-few-weeks-in-the-shop/IMG_5923_hueab8e46c6c0d733c2656a273be4c6e52_5360102_150x150_fit_box.png)
Workshop Catch-Up: Delfinen
A Couple of Weeks in the Shop
A Week in the Shop
31 Oct 2023 - delfinen, finishing, fretwork, hästen, verkstaden
Putting in the time: nothing new this week, just a week of getting on with the jobs I started previously in the workshop, with more staining, more oiling, and more fret-dressing and polishing.

Both necks are made from maple: one is hung so you can see the back, showing the birds-eye figuring, and the other is hung so you can see the fretbaord is covered in masking tape.](/blog/2023/10/29/a-week-in-the-shop/DSC08104_hueedec4ab2953e7b00bd68010f675d2b7_5209769_150x150_fit_box.png)

Last week we had a failed attempt to stain a guitar body, and this week we get to work saving the instrument from the rework pile.

A Couple of Weeks in the Shop
1 Oct 2023 - Delfinen, Hästen, Laser-etching, Logo, Painting, Verkstaden, Westfield
A lot going on in the workshop as I try to push the three ongoing guitar builds towards finishing, and I get re-united with the instrument that is somewhat responsible for all this.
