Cheers @boo. I thought I might try to develop some skills with a rattle can before I thought about splashing out on the good gear. 
🎶🙂🙏🎸

It certainly is a very skillful art @boo. Your knowledge of the subject is very good and maybe the best on this forum.  Hopefully we can all keep picking your brain when we come to try and have a go.

Hey @boo. Can I ask what you think of northwest guitar’s rattle cans? 🤔 
🎶🙂🙏🎸

These are called “speed shapes”, paint sprayers use them for spray out tests.

You learn something new every day @boo. 🤔😁 
🙂🎶🙏🎸
 

Is it a jelly mould…love the paint. The colour suits you @boo 😬

Nice paint job @boo……. but what is it? 🤔 
🎸🙏🎶🙂

@Boo Soldering is *not* difficult.  If you can manage painting (and I’m fairly sure you can), then soldering is simples. 1.  Get yourself a semi-decent soldering station.  Temperature controlled. 2.  Get a range of tips for the soldering iron (small…   Read more»

just make sure they are on the correct frets, ask me how I know, no don’t 😆). 

How….no sorry @boo I’ll not ask

@boo 
Ive still got lots of clearing to do, some more wall hanging space to create to clear the floor and a small stand for the bandsaw that I was gifted. Just need to get full hand use after the op.

@boo
Oh dear you have a problem to deal with. I thought my workspace was bad but I don’t feel so bad now. At least I can walk on the floor. This is mine today.

A wee trip to the dump @boo. 😂 
🎶🙂🎸🙏

Good choice @boo. Remembering one of my favourite drummers……Mr Cozy Powell. 🙏🥁

@mattbeels   @boo Yeah, that’s one way of not improving your soldering skills. Why not just order a pre made neck to go with it? I heard a rumour that there used to be shops where you could buy a whole…   Read more»

@boo

but I’m not sure I’m a good enough painter for guitar shows just yet

I think it’s pretty clear that you’re more than good enough. 

@boo
No worries I think there are some real electronics gurus in the forum so this is the place to ask. I only know the basics which aren’t that hard.

@rocknroller912
It’s a B250K
 

@boo Nothing complicated inside it’s just a carbon track connected to the rotating centre terminal. Either of the outside lugs can be connected to ground depending on which way you want it to turn. Sorry to be basic, do you…   Read more»
