@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...

@tv101 Truss Rod cover logo looks neat The truss rod cover has a bit of your veneer on it, left over from the same piece that I used for the headstock. The gibson style headstock has plenty space fo...

I do sometimes look at my headstocks and think that there’s something missing. But there’s not a lot of room for a traditional logo. Truss Rod cover logo looks neat 👍

I've been playing around with inkjet watersllde transfers the last few days, the instructions are a poor translation from Chinese, so they're open to a bit of interpretation. Apparently once applied, ...

Give your penny a good polish Just waiting for the finishing course to make sure I do it properly 😆

Just caught up with the bits I missed earlier. Sometimes when I watch Mark make it look so easy, I think.....will I ever be able to do that?....... Only one way to find out I guess. 🙂🎶...

PS......I still haven't found an old penny yet. I have 😉

Every time I see that Mirka sander in use, I think "I WANT ONE". £400 (for the powered version), is a bit pricey for something that'd be used for making a few guitars ... ... ... ... but; 1. We've ...

You are not pregnant again are you Mark? 😆 😆 😆
