@boo That is a solid bench!

Looks good @Boo!

@liebe I followed the great step-by-step process from @boo that he posted in this thread: https://guitarmaking.co.uk/community/design-your-own-guitar/bolt-on-necks-and-trussrods/#post-25367 I admit, drilling the access hole was not the easiest step. I also prepared a bit more than in the pictures and made a…   Read more»

@boo thanks for the welcome Boo, great to hear there’s opportunities from different avenues so certainly gives me things to think about. I think ultimately I’d like to build my own acoustic but would probably start with an electric. I mainly…   Read more»

@boo it would take an awful lot of soldering to get any harm from the lead, not nearly big enough amounts. It’s like a lot of things, 2k spray etc, the danger can come from using it all day everyday.

Practice @Boo, just practice!

@boo  Thanks for the donation Jack, very much appreciated. I think the Air Ambulance will have a busy day today with most of the roads in Argyll closed. Hows the flooding down your way.

Good to see you back doing mad things again @Boo
