This is My Favourite Song For This Moment......What a Great talent and person. 🎶🎸🙏🙂

The first time I went to Scotland, to do a BYO course at the Bailey workshop (in 2004), Mark played me a DVD of Tommy Emmanuel. I could't believe what I saw and heard. Since then if Tommy was in the N...

Hey Guys, I'm going to make another set of templates from my master templates. Will it be okay to rout straight through the MDF or will it cause it to rip out?

@boo Halfords do a car body filler called chemical metal which is good for template repairs. It's harder than the basic stuff and stands up to repeated use with a bearing cutter. Very hard to rub down...

You can fix it with car body filler 🙂

The good thing is that the routing template I made was from 18mm MDF and I used a master, clear Perspex template to make it from. That’s one of the many rule #1s @boo! Just don’t let the router slip...

Hi Matt In my experience the jigsaw blade will angle away from the cut The blade doesn't wander sideways, I sorted that. Attachment : 20201214_130617.jpg I think the blade holder is worn. The...

@robin I don't have a bandsaw either and made my solid body shapes by drilling all round the outline with an ordinary drill and pointed bit - Spade, Brad point or Forstener. Then the holes can be join...

@mattbeels I live in SW Scotland about two hours from the Bailey workshop. It's been below zero degrees since before Xmas so I've shifted small repairs into the kitchen. I have to keep instruments ins...

@robin the blade goes to a bit of an angle when I push it into the cut. That’s just how jigsaws are I’m afraid. A good trick to reduce blade wandering is to cut your piece on top of some foam board ...

I’ve got a few shortbread/chocolate tins @boo Right on, for sure the one with the Buck and especially that psychedelic Cow!

Thanks Robin that's a massive help! Much appreciated!

Attachment : 3_way_import.jpg This might be your switch, if it is then : Solder a link wire between pins 1 & 2 and 6 & 7. Solder Red bridge pickup wire to pin 1 and black to ground. Solder...

Attachment : 20210108_142010.jpg does this diagram help at all. I would guess that all your black wires are grounds, and your red and black wires are the yellow wires in this diagram. The extra...

I received a Knoxville build your own telecaster kit, Ive done all of the wood work and when coming to the electrics I cant make it work. The instructions do not match. The wiring diagram doesn't tell...

@robin I hope these ants in your pants aren't nipping your ash to much. That's tough not getting to your workshop with it being so close. 😆😆😆 Actually the space isn’t even m...

I'm struggling with the cold weather as I don't have my heating in my work area, but not much else. Last year I anticipated supply problems that Brexit would cause and ordered enough varnish supplies ...

Hi Matt Don’t you at least have a jigsaw or maybe you could borrow one? Not the greatest I know but probably a better choice then a router... I do have a jigsaw, it works ok for thin stuff and mdf, ...

@rocknroller912 No heating suuux! How do you keep the instruments stable? Where do you live? I also do repairs for a living and I hate having a backlog! It took me a while to learn that it was okay to...

@boo Damn! Well at least you have funds but I guess at your rate they might not last much longer! 😆 I would love to order up some BK pickups and I thought Duncans were expensive, jeez! But as ...
