Making an electric bass guitar, sanding the radius into the fretboard which is roasted birdseye maple. Have I sanded progressively properly?
I started at 60 grit which is terrible for scratching, but get the radius in quickly, then I moved through every grit I could find until 320 grit. When I look from above I don't see any scratches, but when I look from close to level with the wood, I can see scratches. It sort of looks like scratches underneath the surface.
I don't have much wood left in the fretboard piece of wood due to the radius, should I keep going with the 320 grit or just leave it? Or maybe move down to 220 or something with more grit?
If I use an oil finish, will I have sanding scratches, if I see lines only from that rear angle? And it is going to be fretted.
2 AnswersDo It Yourself (DIY)3 years agoI'm a guy and went over to a friends, but she asked if it'd be cool to go shopping instead. She asked me to see what she was trying on?
What does it mean if a girlgoes, friend, goes to the fitting rooms, then calls me on the phone to see her in the clothes she's trying on? Then out of he blue behind the curtain said my name and said ,"you're so funny".
Does it mean that she likes me? She was trying on a cute outfit, why would she want to know my opinion? This doesn't happen regularly, just tonight.
Also, if it was mean to be flirty, how do I know and initiate progress from stuff like that?
2 AnswersSingles & Dating4 years agoI have a hard time finding Aziz Ansari funny. Why is he so popular? He's really kind of lame, his jokes aren't funny. Parks and rec too?
I have been watching parks and recreation lately, Aziz Ansari just isn't funny. He says some things that will make me laugh, but really I just find him annoying. I have tried to watch his stand up routines and I give it at least 5-10 minutes to make me really laugh, and nothing makes me laugh. I don't understand how he is so popular. Can anyone provide me a link to his best jokes or something?
Am I the only one who feels like this?
5 AnswersComedy5 years agoHow do music artists like Bob Dylan do so well when they have a bad singing voice? How does somebody get their music heard & given a chance?
I hear so many professional songwriters who can sing, but they write such crappy lyrics. Sounds like they went to a songwriting grocery store, and filled up a cart with what they think people will want to hear. But they are praised because they have a good voice? The Instruments are usually uncreative and just there to make words into a song.
How does someone who writes songs, plays guitar, bass , and can create drums on the computer get their music heard? How did people with bad singing voices make it?

2 AnswersRock and Pop6 years agoroasted Birdseye maple. Is this supposed to be hard to plane and joint with a #6 hand plane?
I don't know if it is my new #6 plane, or because the wood isn't squared or flat.
I tried to sharpened it, and think it did it well enough, though still not sure. it is my first handheld plane.
Is roasted birdseye maple, supposed to be hard to plane or am I operating the plane improperly?
I am getting little curls out of the wood, but the wood is sort of bumpy and not flat. it is soing to be used for a bass neck for a bass guitar.

1 AnswerOther - Home & Garden6 years agoI a have a piece of wood that is 4+ feet long or so, and I am trying to sqare up the sides of it that are about 1+ inch wide, can a plane>?
Can a plane take the curve out of the side? I feel like it would just follow the curve and I would end up with a smaller piece of wood, with the same curve?
What type of plane should I buy for this, maybe a handheld electric plane? or maybe a jointer plane? I am making an instrument, I have already taken the course, but do not have all the tools at home, nor do I have all the knowledge of a woodworker

2 AnswersSingles & Dating6 years agoWhen a female friend who you can hang out just the 2 of you, has a bf, but she keeps complaining about his behavior with his friends?
Lack of showing his friends side of the relationship to he girl, not bringing her around his friends with or without other girls at whatever location or event, would that be a deal breaker for you?
I keep telling her hat she needs to tell him that certain thins bother her or just **** the relationship. OK I didn't say he last part because it seems she is in love with him. But if she keeps complaining, hanging out with me, doing stuff with me and texts me almost everyday, is she looking for me to tell her something I'm not or what should I say or do. She invites me to workout with her and do other activities. She tells me about shampoo and whatever (like I care about it) and she says things like excuse my hair for being ugly or whatever, when its not. Why does she do these things?
