Well done - looks good - looking forward to watching the build. What woods are you going to use and what sort of finish?

After finishing the design course I've set to work and drawn out my very first design. I'm still waiting on my controls to arrive and I've gone for a tune-o-matic bridge so I need to draw the four pos...

@boo I think I read in an earlier post that you aren’t going to use a pickguard on this one? How about a top? Just thinking that to permanently hide that neck joint is highly unlikely, unless you’ve ...

My favourite song today:

The depth gauge is good as well.

@frocesterbill guess copy paste doesn’t work for usernames 🙄

@frocesterbill Sounds like you got an amazing deal on that Dewalt, their tools ain’t cheap! Not as expensive as Festool though, their tagline should be: Tools for Rich People 😂

@boo So, building for customers eh? Damn dude, you’re in the big leagues now... Why not ask your custy which switch he’d like? Or am I missing something?

@eddie6string I just googled that machine and it’s an old one, here’s what I found: Machine overview By Rob The Scheppach HMS 260 jointer planer is the smallest of the HMS series. In contrast to ...

@cheesewhisk My first build was a neck through Explorer so... It might be “wiser” to go with a simpler style first to get your feet wet but if you feel up for it then I say go for it! It really isn’t ...

Thanks Matt, I'm inclined to the local Axminster equipment because their customer service has been good for me over 25yrs now. I want fast reliable jointing. Fence on current planer flexes just enou...

@mattbeels well when you put it like that, what's a bit more work right? The course is so well broken down into manageable chunks it makes it all seem doable.

Thanks Matt Appreciate your input. If I had room I'd always choose Wadkin 4 phase. Axminster Craft has good reviews, but it's all in the setting up.

@eddie6string I get the impression that Axminster is the UK equivalent to Grizzly in the US. I have the feeling that they make good stuff but I’ve never seen their tools over here so I’ve never bother...

Kill switches. I Dig em.

........and this one...... 🙏🎶🎸🙂

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment.......I had forgotten all about this until I heard it played on the radio this morning......Love it. 🙂🎸🎶🙏

Agree with all of that @mattbeels. I'm not really sure why I sold that one 🤔 But I guess that's the danger with selling guitars - sometimes you'll sell one that you later regret selling ...

@tv101 Those BVG LP’s are cool! A old customer of mine has one. I really liked the textured Giger/Alien like finish-no pickup frame on the bridge pickup-P90 in the neck-clear cover plates-no pickguard...

The good thing about my DeWalt is that the on/off switch is on one of the grab handles and it latches but is easy to switch on and off - the other handle locks the depth of the cut so you always have ...
