Original Condition
Removing the lining.
All Done
I’ve been working on relining the case from my Roadstar II guitar. It’s a TKL chipboard case with a faux fur lining. It had evidently been in storage a while and picked up a nasty musty smell I couldn’t get rid of. The only way to remedy that was to rip all the lining out, seal the wood, and reline it. The project is nearing completion. I should have a pictorial guide up by the end of the week if I can get the migraines to leave me alone. It didn’t help that someone decided to delete everything on the camera’s memory card, but I managed to recover those images before they were overwritten.
Stay tuned.
I’m in the process of building a case for my Little Holey Vengeance pedal board so I can actually get the pedals mounted and use the damn thing. Right now I hate to mount them and basically have nothing to protect them when not in use. This is the first case I’ve built so I doubt it will turn out perfectly. I’m building the frame out of 3/4″ plywood (left overs from the speaker cabinet) and the top and bottom will be 3/16″ birch underlayment grade plywood. I’m covering it in olive green vinyl to match the board and lining it with brown velour. The vinyl isn’t really meant for this application. It’s more of an upholstery type vinyl so it isn’t taking the glue the best. I’ll make it work though, even though I’m not foreseeing the seams turning out well. I got the vinyl cheap though. Plus I got to see the pretty girl (Denise) at the fabric store. Now that I’m single I can look all I want and not feel guilty!
I’m hoping to have the case finished up in a week or so. I’ll get full project details up with photos at that point.
