Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted, but  I have been busy.  I’ve been spritzing Boeshield on my power tools and I got the garage cleaned and arranged and everything fits nicely.  The new (used) drum sander is in place with a repaired switch, and the new oscillating spindle sander is in the shop and has already contributed to nice neck shapes.

The resonator guitar has been neglected recently, but I got back on it and set the frets, attached the neck and worked on setting up the saddle and string height.

It’s all scraped and sanded and ready for the next step of grain filling and staining (OK, after sanding @ 220 one more time).

Still need to trim back the frets and bevel, but I’m letting them settle for a day.
