The Origin of Urban Legends: Jeff's Guitar
http://rlastinger.blogspot.com/2007/08/jeffs-guitar.html
Tuesday, August 14, 2007. Here we are today. Gotta admit the guitar is in some bad shape. But, I'm not worried, it's been a project for what? I honestly don't remember. I've got to purchase some missing parts, and replaces some damaged parts. First things first though, take her apart and put on a new coat of clear at Jeff's request. Sorry Jeff, this may look a bit scary due to I brush on the clear, but it'll level out in the end. It'll be shiny once again (was it ever really shiny? People I Think I Like.

The Origin of Urban Legends: Ah ... A New Post
http://rlastinger.blogspot.com/2007/10/ah-new-post.html
Saturday, October 13, 2007. Ah A New Post. So, after working 9 hours a day on a computer. The last thing I want to do when I come home is get on a computer. But, I'll try more often to update you guys on my life's adventures. Brent and I have been talking again about the stave shell building. But I made a deal with myself a long time ago to only have one project going at a time. The stave shell will have to wait until the guitar is finished. Shouldn't be too much longer Jeff.

The Origin of Urban Legends: Drum Is Finished!
http://rlastinger.blogspot.com/2007/08/drum-is-finished.html
Tuesday, August 14, 2007. I'm sure some of you have no idea what a stave drum is, and that's some of what I'll be posting. A kind of tutorial of how these type of drums are made. Wish me luck! A big thank you to Craig (aka, Cracker) for your help with wood construction, wood working tools, wood companies, and a place to store my wood (insert jokes now). You've been a big help so far, more than you know, and you'll be a huge help once Brent and I get started. Last note for this post:. People I Think I Like.

Sunday, October 28, 2007. Jeff Guitar is Finished! A word on Floyd Rose Tremolo Bridges. Wow are these suckers tough to set up! Never set one up before and let me tell you it was fun and frustrating all at the same time. I see why people think their guitars are 'broken' when they go to set up this type of bridge. If you don't know what to expect you would definitely think you were either doing something wrong or the guitar was broken somehow. A big thank you to the. Here is Jeff's new/old Ibanez. I've sp...

The Origin of Urban Legends: July 2007
http://rlastinger.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 24, 2007. Broken Parts . *sigh*. I was finishing the mock up of the contest snare last night and saw that the Nickelworks strainer was broken. So, much for bulletproof plastic, eh? Oh well, I'll be making a phone call to Drummaker today to get the problem resolved. You can see the crack along the threaded holes. Also, how much grease is too much? This thing is actually dripping goo on my table, floor, toolbox . I don't think it'll ever squeak. Sunday, July 22, 2007. Enjoy the pictures .

http://rlastinger.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 19, 2007. Well, this past Saturday I decided that it was time to get a buzz cut. Brent was gracious enough to give me my virgin cutting, thanks Brent! Here is the before:. Of course I had to leave the Mohawk as the last stage of cutting. I know there isn't much hair there to really be a Mohawk, but I can dream right? Well here are some finished pictures of Penny (Brent's snare he made) and Bloodshot (the snare I made for Brent). Brent and I will be in discussions. Wednesday, June 13, 2007.

The Origin of Urban Legends: March 2007
http://rlastinger.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 30, 2007. Thursday, March 29. I sanded the sand and sealer down level, then cleaned the dust off using naptha. Tomorrow's plan is to brush on another 2 coats of nitro sand and sealer, let it cure over night and level that on Saturday morning. Wednesday, March 28. I wiped the exterior of the drum down with naptha. To remove any oils and contaminants, and let it dry about 20 minutes. Brushed on 2 coats of nitrocellulose sand and sealer. I waited 1 hour in between. Monday, March 26. Next I use...
