I'm home again for a few weeks so should be able to get some time in my shed. I made the upper front graft, back grafts, diamonds and bridge plate today. I also made the heel block blank and marked it...

Cheers @robin. Enjoy your wee holiday. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

@russ Thanks for the welcome advice, I'll keep that in mind when I get to that stage. Its all back up on top of the wardrobe again for wee while, I'm back at the caravan now for a couple of weeks, go...

Nice work @robin. If you're happy for a wee bit of advice.....I would leave the braces a little long until after you've carved them. It makes it easier to mark out on your sides where you need to notc...

@boo Many thanks for the info. 👍 I was guessing pretty much along these lines - I just wondered if I was seriously underestimating the capabilities of your (damn nice) airbrush set up. I’m gue...

Apologies for resurrecting this old thread, but I’m considering falling off my wallet for a similar set up with the Bench Vent. Have you been using it for guitar (re-)finishing, or is it just for deta...
