This is my new bass. I put it together from parts I bought on ebay. I also refinished the body. I really like it so far. It is a Precision bass body with a P/J pickup set, wilkinson bridge standard jazz bass wiring and controls. The neck is a standard Jazz bass neck with Schaller [...]
I got this new TV for myself. The 36″ tube TV I have been using was too big and heavy. It was crushing my danish modern tv stand. The new Hitachi 42″ Plasma really ties the room together.
I am still streaming recorded TV signals, movies, etc from my MythTV PVR and server through my modded [...]

I have basically finished my resto-mod of an original 1981 Atari Centipede game. It was a wreck when I bought it and it was basically gutted. It now plays hundreds of arcade and console games using MAME and other emulators. I am in the “beta-testing” phase of the project [...]
I finished this a while back but did not get around to posting photos until today. I was waiting because the room this piece is in needs to be repainted. I don't think I will get around to doing this for a while so here are a few quick shots. I may put up better [...]
I bought this the other day for $40. I have been working on a MAME arcade emulator project and have decided to house it in here. I created a work log for this project in which I will post info about my progress.
This is the wall system I just built for my living room. It is the first real furniture I designed and built.
I made a couple of this type with the two black doors. I had a limited amount of the veneered stock so I chose to alternate the door and cabinet colors.
Here you can [...]
We went to Bealle Street. I have always been a fan of the Blues and
thought this should be a stop on our tour. Like a lot of the places we
have been it was different than I imagined. It was pretty
commercialized as I imagined but had fewer attractions than I thought
it would. I thought it would [...]
I got around to working on the front part of the interior today. Here are some pics of how it looks now.
This shows the other side of the bulkhead/divider wall. Note the moderately burly deadbolt.
The dash had a lot of holes from police radios and was pretty beat up so I covered it with this [...]
I am finally getting around to taking some photos of the van. I should have taken before shots and documented some of the projects but I didn’t. I bought this van at an auction from the State of Michigan last year. It was used to transport prisoners. It looked basically like a REALLY dirty church [...]
I built this new snack tray/cupholder for the van. I recently got a GPS
system for my laptop and wanted a better place to put the laptop while
we drove. I didn’t want to lose any of the features I had with the old
one so I came up with this fold out design. This first pick shows [...]
