So which kind of magic (aside from that cheap ass shitty piece of plastic) did you employ to cover that extremely well done neck tenon join? Do you want to know a secret @mattbeels??

@tv101 I also do that. Even though on my router it would be quite difficult to hit the switch while changing bits I’ve always unplugged it while doing so. I don’t take any chances with that particular...

it ain't off until it's unplugged. @cheesewhisk. 👍 I agree. It doesn't take much effort to keep safe. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@tv Aye for sure, I've been doing that with the bandsaw it's pretty much standard practice for me, it ain't off until it's unplugged.

I switch mine off, *and* unplug it @tv101. I'm with you on this one tv. 🙏🎸🎶🙂

@Russ Hey Robin, did you write your logo by hand or use a decal? Hi Russ, the logos were done on the PC and printed onto inkjet waterslide transfer paper. It took a lot of coats of lacquer to build...

Attachment : image.png @robin Hey Robin, did you write your logo by hand or use a decal? Very neat. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@tv101. Very nice Indeed. 🙏🎸🎶🙂

Always switch it off before changing bits I switch mine off, *and* unplug it. Some of those bits scare me, and the thought of putting my fingers anywhere near them, when there's even the remotest ch...

Although doing a few climb cuts to avoid tear out is a good idea. Mark covers that in the course but this is general woodworking info that can be found anywhere. Stewmac is a good resource, they will ...

@robin You are correct. Cutting a hole like a control cavity or for a pickup would be done clockwise. Profiling and rounding over a body would be done counter clockwise.

Oh wow @robin that's a real life saver tip, I wouldn't have thought about that. Great idea @frocesterbill, I think I'll borrow that one.

I have a drawing stuck on the workshop wall that reminds me of the correct direction to move a router round a job - just in case.........

@cheesewhisk Direction is very important - go counter clockwise - the opposite way that the router is spinning Just be careful with your direction. When you're routing a control cavity for instanc...

As the edit button still isn't working ... here's a better photo of the scratchplate ... Attachment : P1190456.JPG

Just so you know, I’m not having a go at anyone, I’m just messing about @tv101 . I really do thing plastic pick guards (or other materials) look good in certain circumstances. Oi @Boo - who's "messi...

I've got a load of kitchen cupboards to paint (apparently). I'm thinking a paint spraying kit would be a worthwhile investment, to help me get the sort of finish that my good lady is hoping for. ...

There are those that make wooden truss rod covers but they’re strong enough. I’ve seen the wooden ones (Taylor for example) split along the grain. Sure they look good and add a nice touch but they ult...

@boo What would you all do with a guitar you bought that had plastic cavity covers on? Would you make something out of wood or some other material? With bought guitars I simply leave them. I wouldn...
