This is The Best Song by Iron Maiden that I've heard........ ..... just a catchy wee tune. 😁 🙏🙂🎶🎸

the only reason you are asking this is that it would be easier for me to cut off the split pieces; right? @rajbcpa No, I asked because I was curious why someone with a side bender would order pre be...

Am sending a "please donate" email to Matt at Monty's Pickups for any donations I have some DP51 pups in a purple Tele (with Obsidian wires ''Custom 4-Way Wiring for Tele) signed by Danish Pete. Love...

@boo Where can I find a picture of the finished body, please? Am sending a "please donate" email to Matt at Monty's Pickups for any donations 🙂 Cheers.

Just a wee thought Peeps. Mark has some parts for sale in the shop. @boo if you thought any of the parts were suitable we could contribute to buying some of them for the guitar 🎸. 🎸&#x...

@boo Im just picking up on this thread and would be happy to make a donation if you need to purchase parts

OK. I've sent a "begging" (well almost but at the very least subscribe to Mark's YouTube) email to Matt at Monty's Pickups asking if he'd consider donating some "hardware". Let's see. Cheers all.

do all 3 of move+divorce+grieve. Having done divorce, it was both the most expensive, and most worthwhile, thing that I've done. But I wouldn't want to do it again.

That approach is probably a *bit* cheaper than moving house. Think: Mid-Terrace (1780s stone cottage) backing on to locomotive tracks (turns out to be Cheltenham to Paddington line) at the back and l...

Why did chemical warfare get to the point where there's a global lock down Oh, the scope for nut job conspiracy theories ..... but that's what Facebook is for.

I also have a shitty flimsy shed with no solid floor or walls (or power). Seriously @rashdown_online - if you've got the space to put up a decent shed, then dunsterhouse do a big range of buildings, ...

@rashdown_online It’s the ONLY reason to move house... It's crap. I have a BNIB Triton router, a bunch of templates and various tools. But I also have a shitty flimsy shed with no solid floor or wall...

Please make the next question harder @rashdown_online ... OK... Why did chemical warfare get to the point where there's a global lock down meaning I can't get my Walnut guitar finished, collected and...

Is it wrong to move house just to have a garage so I can build a bench and use a router? @rashdown_online It’s the ONLY reason to move house...

@rocknroller912 Thanks I've done a quick test piece of melamine lacquer so far, just enough to start to get an idea of its characteristics, but your info will be very useful. What sort of sealer did y...

@boo, your test plan is a good idea, I was thinking along those lines. The other advice you gave will probably be largely applicable too, thanks.

@jonhodgson Ive tried melamine lacquer when I first started making instruments, a long time ago. It wears well but dries hard so is not ideal for acoustics as it stiffens the wood making it less respo...

@boo No rattle cans in this batch (though I'll try a rattle can acrylic sealer), these are going to be brush applied. Rattle cans maybe next, want to try chameleon paints!
