I’m trying to fix the flaws on a kit guitar. One of the problems is that the bridge isn’t straight, the mount holes were just wrong but I wasn’t paying enough attention at the time. Current plan was t...

Or keep your eyes out for something s/h? @tv101 Do you know of any particular drills worth looking out for s/h? Would like to get hold of a bigger/better one for when I get more workshop space, somet...

@boo You say a "big compressor", but if someone didn't have room/budget for the biggest, what would you say would do the job for most people? i.e. enough to spray one guitar at a time, and run a reaso...

Yeah you should definitely get extraction for your tools first, it’s essential. Buying things in order of relevance is the way to go. 👍 Absolutely @boo Around five years ago I bought a inexpe...

@cheesewhisk Looks great! I finished the body template for my less spiky bandsman. Looking forward to the finished article you create here! It looks like you’ve made a pattern from the pattern, was th...

Explorers are awesome. I like Firebirds and RD’s too but Explorers are just so James Hetfield for me. But my favorite has always been the Flying V. It’s just so... symmetrical and super badass. I also...

I'll just machine a square hole in either side of the rails big enough to get a small clamp through. Simples! @darrenking Genius!

Ah then the price difference is not as bad as I thought it would have been ( of course, still have to take into account import fees I guess )
