Building BlackDroïd 7V

awesome thread... should be stickied until it's finished IMO.

great thread patrick, you're a very meticulous builder. your philosophy is pretty different from mine, but there is no mistaking your craftsmanship. its also cool to see how you do so much with such limited tooling and workspace, i especially have appreciation for that, because i'm in much the same boat, it takes a lot of ingenuity to build guitars without a lot of tools at your disposal.

Thanks Adam, I appreciate a lot

Yeah, whats annoying is to have to go to your carpenter friend to go and plane the wood...

Because a pro planer is expensive and will not fit in a 5 square meter workshop

i definitely need a new planer, my planer, while not horrible, only has 1 blade, and the blades like to get little knicks in em. and 5m by 5m is about what i'm working with too

I only have 5 power tools, a drill press, a router, a tiny band saw, a small sanding machine and a mouse sanding machine....

All the rest, I must always go to see my carpenter friend which can suck sometimes if he is closed, then I end up waiting like an idiot until he opens again......

i've got a little bit more. i'm working with a joiner, a planer, a 12" bandsaw, a 14" stand up drill press(which also acts as a buffer), a 25g air compressor, a rickety paint booth i made myself, and a 6" wide belt sander with a 9" disc sander on the side of it. oh and a palm sander and a router. everything else i do is by hand.
