Building this acoustic guitar has more work making all of the templates and tools than the actual guitar. Here I am making a custom base for my router to allow me to carve very accurate concentric circles. This will allow me to make a nice rosette for the top of the guitar. Fusion 360 -> 3D print -> test carve on plywood https://warpcast.com/based-bren/0xec421b8d

I got a free hour to start making the back for the OM guitar. This is walnut, all of the woods on this build are European, I don't want to use any exotic hardwoods. Here I am thicknessing the back, jointing the boards and gluing them together. Back inlay and bracing next.

One reason my progress as a maker is extremely slow is the startup friction of working with even the simplest maker medium, like say building with legos, is like 3x that of writing, my main creative medium. The startup friction is a function of complexity and instability (environment decay between sessions) of dev environment. On a scale of 1 - 10: 1. Writing 2. Drawing 3. Legos 4. Woodworking 5. CAD 6. Discrete electronics 7. 3D printing 8. Arduino electronics 9. ESP32/RPi electronics 10. Online project with a web API

Had a good day in the shop! Picked up some glaze fired pieces from the kiln and finally got a good cast of the sewer coaster

Taking these two months to focus on art and building things meant I could finally make it out on a Wednesday night to the weekly electronics open lab at the Makerspace I am a member of. The amount of brilliant members is incredible. The person next to me was inspecting a dumpster dived aerospace-grade circuit from a satellite, while two others regaled me with stories of their early days in computer scientists, writing programs to EPROM chips after erasing their contents with UV light. One guy said that doing my RGB scripts in C++ was like forging nails to build a house. To which a nearby woman said "Dont listen to him, I think its smart to work with the C++ library".

got a new bedroom fan so naturally i designed and printed an insert to fit a different remote rather than 3d printing a completely new tray 😇 using this “product” every day brings me so much joy. Alan Kay cooked with this line: “people who are serious about software should make their own hardware”
