Thought a few people may get a chuckle, todays stuff up

Cnc is great but on occassion you forget what your doing, so here is a guitar with a strat top and a tele back

The spewing part was I capped a piece of nice mahogany to start with

Gotta love brain in neutral

I ended up running it through the thicknesser before I went home, removed the ""mistake"", tommorrow I might put a cap on the back as well, something different, dont know until I have another look at it

Just thought others would like to see, that even with all the best technology in the world, it comes down to an idiot (in this instance "me") pressing the right button

Should do what they do in the dog world Steve and give it a fancy half 'n half name and charge a fortune for what used to be referred to as a mongrel.

Bastard that you buggered a nice chunk of timber but at least as you say, the guitars not beyond recovery.

Looks like a time to blame the computer, maybe a rival builder or timber supplier hacked into it,

I'll stick to my bandsaw or router

Reminds me of the sign I have in my workshop "In the Middle of Every Difficulty Lies Opportunity".

I have something a bit different.......a wall of shame. On it hang at least 5 failed necks and other assorted f***k ups.

My wall of shame would not be big enough for all the necks I've stuffed, both by hand and cnc
