I now have one of most every predecimal British coin from their last year of mintage.
Well, except for the farthing, which is a 1954 instead of a 1956. I've decided to find a 1956 farthing, and I decided to buy the cheapest one I could find. And by cheapest, I mean $14 with shipping and taxes.
Also, Dad and I went down to the shop to do some cutting for two instruments:
The first is A lap steel called The Guilded Splinter.

Admittedly, not gilded yet, but the liquid gold leaf paint is coming soon, and at least We finally made some crucial cuts, although evidently, the pickup hollow isn’t totally cut to the proper width.
The second, an electric upright bass.
It’s being made totally from scratch, and we’re still looking for a good fingerboard. But we at least have the body and neck somewhere near ready.
