Oh yeah, the panel glue up turned out nicely. It's a shame that this will get a stain finish ("customer's wishes and he will be committing the heinous act). Its not book matched but I like how the grain flows between the panels (looks better without the blue shop lights as well).

I think I like woodworking because it's basically just problem solving over and over. In fact there's very little cutting compared to everything else (and also because I'm very slow at it). The alt text describes what's happening in each step (always open to suggestions).
I've pre sanded everything but it'll get a final sand and some roundovers on the top (which is nerve racking as a last point of potential screw up after all this effort). -
At long last, I'm going to document what was probably my most complex project so far. The actual thing is finished now, but I somehow missed the right point in time to start a #buildlog - so here it is. 🧵⬇️
Backstory: A few years ago, I decided that I first want to build a machine for building guitars, then build an actual electric #guitar. The machine - a huge CNC router that occupies the floor space of my office almost entirely - had been complete and working for a while now, so in late 2024 I finally managed to get started.
Side note: I'll try to update this thread faster-than-realtime, so I hope it won't take me another 1.5 years to finish it.

This is the last part I needed to print of my new printer, printed on my new printer. I am very happy to have completed this new machine, it's so fast and produces quality parts orders of magnitude better than anything I got out of the mini. #3dprinting #buildlog #jobdone #voron
