Another resurrection
Finally got around to finishing it.
Before and after shots.
Was it worth it? Financially, big fat no; Satisfactory - hell yeah
Will you look at that handmade 316 stainless steel caliper please! LOOK AT IT!

Re: Another resurrection
Job well done!
NZ seems to have a reasonable representation of these Yamaha’s. I’ve seen them often in the olden days in the real proper pawn shops, owned some, played heaps. Hate ‘em, but others love them. Why did NZ get so many?

Re: Another resurrection
That is a lovely job, the hobbley calliper is a thing of beauty I literally cannot find fault, except for those sharp bits on the horns... if you could just round those over with a bench sander or something? Maybe a rasp?jvpp wrote:Finally got around to finishing it.

Re: Another resurrection
Thanks. I don't think there were too many shipped to NZ. IMO they are just more noticeable because of their unique horns. This was the second one with frets so low it could not be played, so yes, there are people who love them.GrantB wrote:Job well done!

Re: Another resurrection
Thanks BG, 316 SS is hard work and a bitch to polish. Rounding the horns, I have seen a pic of such attempt and it did not look pretty.Bg wrote:That is a lovely job, the hobbley calliper is a thing of beauty I literally cannot find fault, except for those sharp bits on the horns... if you could just round those over with a bench sander or something?

Respect.
So now you have time for a Blue Amp?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Told them I ain't going to extend my contract and that they needed to find another PM... So with a bit of luck soon, otherwise DecemberSlowy wrote: So now you have time for a Blue Amp?
I am going to miss the money but freedom to pursue my artistic endeavors is something I long for. (I continue to encourage her indoors to keep on working promising her dinner at 6pm, clean kitchen and house, washing on the line, etc).

Re: Another resurrection
As always, you've done a fantastic job. As for the horns, I think they look super cool!
