Workshop photography 101
3 Aug 2024 - älgen, hästen, photography
A look at how I've been trying to take some "proper" photos of the guitars for marketing purposes, and some tips on how to do this on a budget with limited talent (or why you might also want to pay someone to do it).
A Month Out the Shop
21 Jul 2024 - älgen, delfinen, emf, liverpool, makefest, sweden, verkstaden
A summer summary: I've presented at two major events where I showed off the guitars, I went on holiday and bumped into some interesting guitars, and I went to a non-guitar event where I made some design observations I can apply to guitars!
Älgen Catchup
18 Apr 2024 - 3d-printing, älgen, markforged, svt
Catching up with Älgen: I end up on Swedish Public Broadcasting with the story of Älgen, and I go one level further into custom parts enabled by 3D-printing.
A Couple of Weeks in the Shop
A Few Weeks in and Out the Shop
17 Sep 2023 - Älgen, Delfinen, Hästen, Wuthering Bytes
A catch of events both out of (attending Wuthering Bytes, talking at OSHCamp) and back in the workshop (a lot of carving and sanding).
A Week in the Shop
13 Aug 2023 - älgen, delfinen, hästen, OSHCamp, painting, spray-booth, templates, toothbrush, verkstaden, wuthering bytes
A busy day in the workshop, including finally learning how to spray paint bodies using the booth and spray-gun, and prepping my talk for OSHCamp at the end of the month.
A Month in and Out the Shop
17 Jul 2023 - 3d-printing, älgen, amsterdam, carving, hästen, liverpool makefest, spraying
A catch-up on the work leading up to Liverpool Makefest, and how the event itself went, plus I find the largest 3D-print I've ever seen in Amsterdam afterward.
A Week in the Shop
17 Jun 2023 - älgen, carving, hästen, laser-cutting, neck, spraying, verkstaden
The race is on to get Älgen ready for Liverpool Makefest, I dodge a knot as I carve Hästens neck, and I say who needs scissors if you have a laser-cutter?
A Week in the Shop
10 Jun 2023 - älgen, blues deluxe, electronics, fretwork, hästen, inlays, lacquer, noel gallagher, spraying
A busy week in the shop: getting ready to spray a 3D-printed guitar body; learning to use metal rods for dot-inlays on a neck; and when copper insulation goes rogue inside a guitar.
Two Weeks Out the Shop
21 May 2023 - älgen, amp, ef1, esp32, holiday, jazz, liverpool makefest, pickup winder
A brief holiday break interrupts our normal schedule, and I have some success with analog electronics and failure with digital electronics.
