Here's a video of the building process.

@robin To sharpen an 'incannel' gouge (internal bevel): You can use a section broomstick to make a round sharpening stone by sticking wet and dry to it - if it is really bad I use a dremel with round ...

Hi John, I haven't watched this video but I don't think you'd need to run through from 80g every time you sharpen something. If so then you have left it far too long between visits to your sharpening ...

Why cut down on soldering? You can’t beat the smell of hot flux!! ? I know - if it wasn't gaseous, you wouldn't be meant to inhale it, right?? I don't have so much of a problem with soldering. Once ...

@tv1010101 Why cut down on soldering? You can’t beat the smell of hot flux!! My father worked at HP in the printed circuit shop for many years and we undertook numerous home electronics projects when ...

Thank you, John!

Thank you, it could not have been done without the best guitar building tutor in the world Mark Bailey.

In 2004 I went to the Bailey workshop to build a guitar for the first time. A year later I returned to build a bass and in 2006 I realised I was addicted. So in 2006 again I travelled to Scotland to m...

Hi John, If you are buying secondhand tools that need a degree of initial rescuing I guess these grits of paper would work but I think that 80g and 120g are a maybe little ‘agricultural’ for routine s...

Posted by: @ John L gave most of the answers ? Spraymax is available in 400 and 250 ml cans. I spray a light mist coat first and then max. 3 wet coats. 400 ml is too much for a guitar body, so I us...

I’ve used solderless kits in the past to avoid soldering ?

I think between us all here in this forum we can come up with a short list of acceptable products to use. That's along the lines of what I was thinking when I asked the original question. There's a f...

Not watched this video yet @markbailey but I’m gonna! Just bought these. In the video, he says that those are the worst ones to buy. Sorry ?

Still waiting but got nothing to build just yet anyway............

Great timing Mark. My chisel and rasp arrived yesterday......... not that it needs sharpening yet. Looking forward to it. Cheers, Russ

Sooner or later the time will come when you need to sharpen your chisel. I'm going to show the an easy way to achieve a razor sharp edge - whatever your budget!
