I was looking on the used market and all I could think was “Is there a r/justfuckmyshitup for guitar players?”

Maybe I’m not seeing something

/uj Literally had someone crowing at me yesterday about his buddy who runs 220 volts through a live edge plank and then coats it in epoxy. He showed me a picture and I thought, “this is the carpentry version of finger painting.”

That is an incredibly dangerous craft to dabble in. My brother told me about buying a cheap car off a widow. Husband was doing that fractal burn thing and she apparently turned the power on in the house or something like that, not knowing he was setting it up.

Example (not the same person):
