@tv101 the headstock is as big as it needs to be, and no bigger. I might have to add a little bump on the end to have room for my logo, I hadn't really thought that one through.

This is headstock style I'm using in my next build, the strings don't get much straighter than that. That is definitely pretty straight!! Very functional too - the headstock is as big as it needs ...

@robin Cheers Robin. I might give it a go. 🎶🎸🙏🙂

@boo Are you going to seal them in with some clear coat? Yes I'll be spraying the face of the headstock and the truss rod cover with a clear coat. Hopefully that should make the surround of the tra...

@russ Did you make the transfers yourself I bought the waterslide paper and used Windows Paint to draw the logos, then printed on an inkjet printer. You have to spray them with a clear coat before y...

With the extractor added in as well, the full setup is actually about £800 give or take, bit better than I thought. It’s still £800 I haven’t got. @boo I’d just about managed to persuade myself that...

Tried editing my post above to add another link but the forum's not letting me, so... The link to "Rag n Bone Brown" is when he first got his Mirka. Look at the one below though, it's from a general Q...

Really enjoyed the livestream earlier, can't wait for the next installment! So, lots of interest in the Mirka - me too. I've tried "palm" sanders before, but never really felt comfortable using them o...

built loads of partscasters Hi Peter, welcome to the group. When I first found Mark's livestreams I thought that I would build a partscaster and that would get it out of my system. Once I'd gathered...

Welcome @peter-Johnson. You’ve definitely found the right place if you’re planning on doing some complete builds. There is a huge spread and depth of knowledge here, and all of it freely shared in su...

Hi folks! Just a few words about myself...... I'm 60 (61 in a few days, but still 24 in my head) and live in a small village in South Essex (UK). Started playing guitar at 12, been singing ever since ...

@tv101 I designed it with the aim of keeping the strings as straight as sensibly possible This is headstock style I'm using in my next build, the strings don't get much straighter than that. Atta...

You plug the sander into the vacuum for power and extraction. Of course ... d'oh! My set-up is a lot more basic @boo. I've got an old house-reject hoover in the workshop (which has been running fine...

@tv101 Hi Tony, just checked out the Mirka hand sanding blocks. I didn't know they existed. Looks like a great cheaper alternative....... although I would like an electric one. 🙂🙏
...

I want an electric one with Mirka automatic vacuum as well. If I had the compressor already, I'd have bought the air version a long time ago! For the electric one, can you not fix it so that turning ...

Posted by: @ Hi Robin, Did you make the transfers yourself or have them made up for you? Cheers, Russ 🎶🎸🙏🙂

Found a photo - this is the headstock design that I generally use. Attachment : Headstocks.jpg\ I designed it with the aim of keeping the strings as straight as sensibly possible ... Attac...

@tv101 My next build that I'm drawing up now has narrower tapered headstock, based on a Tanglewood Tomkat that I have. It's similar to the Bailey headstock too, and like you say, not so much space the...

Good to see the veneer getting used to such good effect! Agree - plenty of room for logos on your headstock - I use a more “compact” design on mine which doesn’t have much spare room. Must have a pho...
