Thanks Benz and Clysdalle!

Oh, where to begin... so much accomplished, but not finished.

Guitar update:
Whatever I said before about the most difficult part of this project, I take back.

The most difficult part was setting the frets. All 21 of them had to be straight and spaced apart correctly or it just wasn't going to look right. I used welding rod and set each one individually after much measuring and remeasuring.

Oh, did I say setting the frets was the most difficult part?

I meant to say that building the bridge saddles was the most difficult part. All three had to be identical to each other. Lots of drilling and tapping of threads and trying to find the right size hardware at the store.

Übertiki update:

I plopped some silicone on it and will cast some resin pendants from the mold this week. Yay!

New project: (as if I didn't have enough to do already)

Okay, here's what happened: I was cleaning up my shop one day and-hello, what's this?

It's a piece of AAC/Hebel that I had cut off from the side of this earlier project.

It looked too good to toss out, so I brought it to 4WD's Chop and carved a relief profile based on a pendant I had sculpted.

It's nearly done now. I'm planning on putting a frame around it and hanging it on the wall.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
