Well it is nearing completion, finally.
Still need to add the stamped serial, lacquer over it, and dull/age the finish a little bit but otherwise good to go.
Been a tough but fun journey as since my spontaneous pneumothorax in January life just has not been the same.
Chest has moments of tightness, back is still sore and can be quite intense pain wise at times, and just overall life is good but...different however life is impermanent and each moment never the same as the next so just take it a second at a time and live.
I need to do a little more work on the knobs to get them where I want them but that is minor.
