Workshop Catch-up: Verkstaden
15 Feb 2024 - painting, spraying, verkstaden
Continuing the catch-up series: Verkstaden goes through the process of getting a gloss finish, and I end up making some costly mistakes along the way.

The guitar has a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard and 21 frets, and the body is a bright yellow stain on birds-eye maple on the front, with black and natural wood sides. There are holes in the body for components, but all are missing.](/blog/2024/02/15/workshop-catchup-verkstaden/IMG_5596_hu17c8c5cd860138a964780ee98b665f9a_6516767_150x150_fit_box.png)

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.

A Brief Week in the Shop
20 Aug 2023 - delfinen, hästen, painting, spray-booth, verkstaden
Making some scary holes in one guitar body, getting two more further along the spray-painting process, and getting very excited about how one of them in particular looks.

A Week in the Shop

A busy day in the workshop, including finally learning how to spray paint bodies using the booth and spray-gun, and prepping my talk for OSHCamp at the end of the month.
