@boo I’ll then sand it all flat again and then apply more coats of clear and then sand it flat again before assessing whether to polish it or apply more clear and then….. you get the idea. It’s a lot…   Read more»

Stunning new song from Lacey Sturm

That’s a new name to me @Boo – always good to listen to something new & different.
 
Or, @Marcel, something old & different.  Very different.
🤔

@boo Good choice of location, west is best, I wish I could be there now but looks like the caravan sites are going to be staying closed for now. I totally understand your “free to move” statement, my mother died…   Read more»

you can get great results from using rattle cans,

Cheers @boo. I think I will start practicing with the rattle cans. 
🙏🎶🎸🙂

Well, I’ve got some body blanks that are not particularly attractive, wood like poplar. So, when they are guitar shaped, I can make them look beautiful by adding flake and paint.

That is a very good point @boo!

Hey @boo. I’m loving it. I’m very much hoping in the future to develop my painting skills. Although I do love a nice peice of beautifully figured wood in custom guitars I do prefer my guitars coloured. Looking forward to…   Read more»

@boo What part of Scotland are you planning on moving to boo?  I’ve done my share of looking after elderly relatives, I hadn’t really thought about how much time it takes up and how it wears you down until I…   Read more»

So, you’re going for the natural look on your next 20-odd builds @boo?
That looks like a lot of flakes …

So nice to meet some of the folks i see in the livestream chats!  @darrenking Thanks, I will definitely be asking you lots of questions. @boo I love that bench. It’s a split top roubo with a 4″ top that…   Read more»

Sounds like you’re overdue some “you time” @Boo. 😀 Similarly, we had a few holidays in Scotland (both West & East coasts) when we lived in the Lakes, and really enjoyed the space and scenery.  It just felt like a…   Read more»

@boo
That sounds good overall and she’s fortunate to have you! You obviously have your head on straight and your shit together so it sounds like you’ll be fine. When are you planning the move to Scotland?

Keep smiling @boo – that’s one positive attitude.
The wife of a vague friend of mine has a similar challenge.  They keep smiling too.
👍

@boo When I priced up flip paint from a panel factor a few years ago it was £200 per half litre so not for the amateur, but I’ve always wanted to try it. I’ve got a green bronze electric fiddle…   Read more»

@boo

she has MS and on the vulnerable list

I’m very sorry to hear that John, that cannot be easy. Has she had it long?

Hate to agree with @boo, but it’s the middle one for me too. I’ve “got a thing” for the double cutaways, although the 335 horns always look too flabby/rounded (the one on the left reminds me of 335]. I’ve got…   Read more»

In a way I have given up on England but there are a lot of hidden gems (heroes) here. I’m still leaving for Scotland though. There are good, and bad, people everywhere* @boo.  I don’t think Scottyland is hugely better…   Read more»

@boo
Do you have any experience of spraying paint that changes colour as it moves around the light eg green to bronze. I think it’s called transitional paint.

So, what, @Boo – are you suggesting that Carol takes *all* the blame herself?
Not very gentlemanly … hope she doesn’t see this thread …
 

Well, I’m certainly older (and a lot less firm) than I used to be @Boo – but the schedule still said end-April for my jab – ie I’m not collecting my pension for a while yet! I’m guessing it’s linked…   Read more»

Though, perhaps @Boo should take half the blame???

@tv101 @mattbeels #FaileyGuitars It’s not my fault. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
