@Boo that looks amazing! Awesome job

Thanks @robin @boo   I got this CNC machine a few months ago, with all sorts of grand plans of what I’d use it for.  Thus far, it’s been pretty much exclusively non-guitar jobs. 🤔 Time to put that right….   Read more»

Very inspired design @boo.

@russ Actually, I’ve just remembered that I got that file from Glued to Music and it is a Iwasaki

Thanks for this link too @boo. 
🎸🎶🙏🙂

I’m not 100% sure @boo but I think the Stewmac files could possibly be made by Iwasaki. You can buy Iwasaki files at the link below a bit cheaper than Stewmac.  @russ Yeah, they may very well be. Whoever makes…   Read more»

Thanks again it’s good to get tips from someone who has done it.

@boo Thanks for the info very useful. The scaffold plank I have has bad warping across its width so I’m planning to cut it down the middle and join the outside edges together. I will need to add something for…   Read more»

@boo
Ive been asked to make something similar from an old scaffold plank and am not sure how to start, so I will watch yours first and see how it goes.

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out @boo. Nice start.

Nice work @boo, it’s good to see the bumblebee again!

@Boo that looks really good,.. clean work!

@boo If you have already sanded it with 400, sand those scratches out with 600 at least and apply more clear coats. . I think 400 is a bit too coarse, use 600 or 800, otherwise you will see those…   Read more»

@boo Thanks for the great advice. I’ve only put two coats on at a time so far and scuffed it with 400 grit after the first two. Its been fairly high temperatures and low humidity the last couple of days,…   Read more»

@boo

I’m assuming you are using nitro in rattle cans, is that right?

I am using rattle cans, but not nitro. Its Plasikote clear gloss lacquer that I’ve got.
