Those bits do indeed look lovely @jonhodgson! I wanted bits like those with the posi-drive or whatever it’s called, but the set I found when shopping was quite small. I do own some Japanese tools and ...

Not cheap, but a very stable even pressure applied with these Axminster clamps Attachment : 20210413_142603.jpg

@eddie6string Danish oil is my favourite finish although the climate here can be too cold and damp most of the year. Definitely a job for outside working due to the aroma.

Not a typical finish, but I wanted to maintain the patena on this Honduran Mahogany Driftwood top - so three coats of Danish Oil was all it needed. Just going through Set-Up prior to video & shipp...

That’s why I thought you were joking @mattbeels - you’ve posted pics before!

@russ if there’s something specific you want me to test out with it let me know and I’ll post up the results Thanks @tej. I was looking to use it to drill the holes for the bridge posts and possibly ...

@russ if there’s something specific you want me to test out with it let me know and I’ll post up the results.

@russ I’ve a set of those, came from axeminster I think. They’re ok, trouble is keeping them steady at first, where they were most use was drilling into a corner edge or through dowel. It’d be better ...

Has anyone ever used one of these to drill a straight hole? Are they accurate? @russ I’ve a set of those, came from axeminster I think. They’re ok, trouble is keeping them steady at first, where the...

drill bits for wood? These are lovely. Yes they're expensive, but I'm not sorry I spent the money.

@Russ - I got the first drill-perpendicular-holes gadget that you posted, and a variation on the second version Thanks @tv101. I might give them a try. Even if I don't use them in guitar making, they...

@Russ - I got the first drill-perpendicular-holes gadget that you posted, and a variation on the second version. They work in some situations/positions, but won't work in all. The main problem is ens...

Have fun! The summer is ahead, I have woods, I have tools, I have time! Fun will be had @mattbeels. Lots of fun ...

What could it be? Order one, find out @russ 😉 Its something else of great use in guitar building (and other less important woodworkery, potentially!), built to the usual high Bagpress stand...

Note to readers - there's another Bagpress product announcement due shortly. Trust me, and just get your orders in now, you'll want one. Oooo. @tv101. What could it be? 🙏🎸🎶&...

Last week I disclosed that "part 1 is in place". Today, I can announce that part 2 is now also ready and able. Attachment : 20210417_163655.jpg Thanks @darrenking for a great couple of hours t...

One of the most surprisingly (to me) effective colours I've seen on mahogany was when Ben Crowe dyed the back of his cyberpunk guitar black. With an oil finish, the best way I can put it is it came ou...

Haha @tv101, I know how to copy/paste photos (you saw the pics of my workshop, right? 😆). It’s just that when we paste photos here they’re always fuzzy and need to be clicked on to get full re...

LOLz @mattbeels ... I thought you were joking with the Q! To post that specific pic (which is from Marks shop), right click on the pic, select copy, switch back to the text box here, left click, pas...
