Thickness sander upgraded

I was gonna sand the spruce top for Jukkas tenor today when the height
adjustment screw finally gave up. It took a beating when I sanded the
last couple of fretboards. So I took parts from a scaffolding clamp I
found outside (work is under way on the facades of my building),
chopped it up and made a screw 30 times sturdier.

Now I really need a proper motor. Or at least a better way to mount
the power drill. Those discs that go onto the axis, for the what's-it-in-
english...

Almost done!

Tonight I'm gonna drill holes through the bridges, and string 'em up!

Robban and Ronald might want to bring empty cases on sunday.

Back planed

So here's back and sides for Jukkas tenor. Back has been hand planed
to 3-4 mm, and is ready for the sander.

Side piece was planed in the machine, and will also be sanded.
