Well, like, why not?
Questions, projects, general stuff.
I know there are some talented woodworkers on here.
Closing up non-splined miters?
Other than a trimmer or a block plane, what should I do?

This is awesome.
I want to start building an oversized 2x12 in the emperor style, but my skills be lacking. I would definitely appreciate some Jedi guidance on the finer points.

See, summit? I'm taking active steps to house those Sheffields now!

Awesome man.
What tools do you have?
That will govern what kind of joinery you use.

Miter.. you are doing this with a hand saw? One trick is to hold [clamp] the miter together best you can and then run the saw through the joint, cutting both pieces at the same time making them the same.

But projects out side of the guitar shit.. no.. that's what I call my soul crushing job. One of these days I want to make a coffee table out of this really cool beetle eaten cedar I have.

Hell yeah! I am slowly amassing more tools, I have a table saw, router table, Miter saw, Spindle sander, assorted chisels and other hand tools. On the hunt for a cheap scroll saw and large drill press.
Next project for me is a neck through 24 fret 12 string build with a trem and fender style comfort cuts. Just did the rough body sketch tonight. Sorry that it's kinda hard to see.

Cut on a power saw, just a few gaps here and there. I'm probably just going to keep on using the block plane.

Basterdized fender style. I've made one before. You need a donor trem that has enough metal height where the intonation screws anchor to acommodate the taller danelectro style saddles.
Ends up like this.

Wasn't there discussion of wooden enclosure pedal-boards once? (and it was determined to be hella impractical, but still a cool idea)

Somebody take it from there, that's all I've got.

I wish I had some pictures of a beautiful piece of scrollwork for a banister I did a while back. The owner tripped and put his knee through it like 2 days after it was installed.
