Welcome

This is a short diversion from the bigger project that is "Black Spanner" where oil, metal and welding is involved. Trouble is, Black spanner is a relatively big project and relatively big projects come with problems;
1. you cant just pop into the garage to do 5 minutes here and there on a trike project
2. at this time of year everything you touch is flippin freezing
3. long projects run the risk of losing momentum and motivation (and money?)
I am still fully committed to the Black Spanner and look forward to picking up again just as soon as I have a little more spare time and the weather is not so miserably cold.

So what is "Black Chisel"? well this is a little project that involves chisels, sandpaper and wood. Its a small enough project that i can both do it within a few weeks (while we wait for better weather), do some of it indoors on the kitchen table, and do lots of it in 5 minute bursts between work commitments - In essence, its a perfect little project for me right now.
Welcome to the Black Chisel - the making of a cigar-box ukulele.
