Tonight , I applied stain ( amber, brown and yellow ) to give my neck an vintage look just before dinner. And this is how it looks after a coat of shellac I put on just an hour ago. Attachment : ...

I try to normalise the data I input so everyone else can make sense of it much easier (I hope). You've never tried searching this forum - even for something that you posted yourself - have you! I don...

My concern is that because it’s wood and there is a joint, one bit of wood going into another, it may become visible over time. For sure, that's always a risk. But it's the same risk when you joint ...

Why do you weirdos guys call it a skip? @mattbeels because calling it a milk bottle would be silly.

Start a new thread every time you start building a new guitar. And that's a good way of keeping a record that you can check back to in later builds. Many times I've reached the stage of doing somethi...

Yeah I hope it works but we’ll see, it may not. Boo - why would it not work? Unless the finish sinks into the join, or sinks differently into the different wood, then surely - once painted - you're...

Got some wood to practice using my handplaners and make scarf joints, etc...It is roughly cut and some pieces are probably unusable as a real neck because of knots. Maybe a few laminated necks with wh...

@boo Looks like a decent repair, more difficult than making new stuff every job is different.

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment.....a wee tribute to Jim Steinman. 🪦 🙏🎶🙂🎸

That's a powerful blow gun. Look - it's blown a hole in the cavity!! Ahh @tv101, so that’s what a hard-earned and genuine post looks like! 😆

Sorry to hear that Mark, that’s awful all around. Last year my father-in-law had a brain bleed and at first it seemed as if he would not recover. It was difficult of course but with therapy he has mad...

Any ideas? Yeah @boo. You could try using a brush, I heard that they’re pretty easy to handle. 😉
