Oh nice, its something I've never explored, full credit to Mr Glyn for the suggestion!

Been thinking for ages about making a little DC Sag device with LED voltage display, not impressed with the DC-DC converters I had lying around for ages so think I'll have to make my own circuit, was gonna suck with the tiny SMD pot for adjusting anyway... once I'm happy with it I'll make some 3d printed enclosures for them and probably put them up for sale, cool thing to use with fuzz pedals but I dunno about other uses...

Rerouting the neck pocket of this old thing this weekend.

Schecter Omen Extreme7. I routed off the carved top and added a flat two piece Kauri top.
It's no Langcaster but it should stain up ok at least.
Switching from tuneomatic to hardtail also.

Made a bit of progress towards these two cabs. A 2x12 and 2x10.

Found some great 280x18x1.8m pine seconds form the reno warehouse for about $2 per meter and some cheap off cut ply fr the back and baffle ,

Bit of a makeshift jig for the speaker cut outs but worked well.

Nice work. Nothing wrong with biscuit joining. You are going to cover the cab anyway.
