Shopping, Again

Sunday, February 1, 2009

Much to my (pleasant) surprise this morning, my wife suggested we head out to Harbor Freight to pick up some of the additional tools I need. Since I know she doesn’t really like hardware stores I accepted the offer and, in return, offered to spend some time with her, afterwards, shopping for clothes (which we ended up not doing - by her choice, I might add). Much like Saturday, this turned out to be a good trip and, also like Saturday’s post, here is a list of the major thing I got (no pictures, though):

There is one Dremel 400 XPR, 2 pieces of 2’ x 2’ x 23/32 plywood to be used to make the body mold, a bench-top scroll saw, a bench top band saw, several sizes of hand planes, a soft mallet for use when fretting, and a dial indicator. As promised, I have updated the lists to the right showing everything I have already purchased as well as all those that I know I still need.

Before I cut into anything I am still waiting for my second book and the hardwoods for the back, sides, and neck to arrive, so for now its back the reading and surfing again...
