This is My Favourite Song For This Moment...... 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@boo Thanks I would like some help sourcing a decent gun so I will check the spec on my compressor and see what it’s output is. I don’t need a large one, smaller the better. Price is not a problem. Al...

Posted by: @boo Yeah I think if I just do a simple oil finish, I could do one in a week. That’d be something interesting to try. Perhaps we could have some sort of challenge amongst ourselves; “what...

@tv101 We should start a new thread - The Battle of the Builds

Posted by: @boo At some point in the near future, I want to make a guitar from start to finish as fast as I can and see what happens (staying safe too though). I’ll start with a baseline of 1 week; ...

Posted by: @marcel I have used a shim to adjust the neck angle a couple of times. I just put in a small strip of veneer in the back of the neck pocket. It's a matter of trying what the thickness of t...

@tv101 I think you have got the timelines fairly accurate. Woodwork is not that difficult but finishing is. I follow some professional restorers in the violin world and it often takes several attempts...

I’ve just binge-watched / read this thread as part of my catch-up. When I re-started reading, on page 4, I wondered how the thread had managed to get to 12 pages long. Things were looking good on p...

@boo I’m planning a 3 colour sunburst body sometime probably after the winter unless I can find a good way of heating my garage up to temperature, so I might need to pick your brains. I have yellow an...

@boo Your impact is very positive for sure. I had never heard of isolator paint before, although I’ve done a lot of wood finishing.

@boo Thanks for sharing this, it’s giving us all a free masterclass in painting

Posted by: @boo G&W are selling shims now too. @boo thanks, I’ll have a go at making some first but at least those are a sensibly priced option

But these shims are flat, so they don't change the neck angle. So if you want to change the neck angle you have to sand a taper on the shim before using it.

My favourite song today:

Okay. Problem solved. I made a couple shims and then glued and sanded them. Now the neck fits nice and snug like it should.

Posted by: @marcel My favourite song today is by my brother's sister in law. Your brother’s sister in law is a great oboe player @marcel! (I thought it was a sax from the sound).

Posted by: @rocknroller912 You should change your web handle to slow hand, or is that one taken already. Not a bad idea @rocknroller912. 👍😁 🙂🎶🙏🎸

Did some doodling on the bridge assembly. The plan is to make a few from aluminum to get the size and shape correct, and get the saddles to adjust properly. Then, I'll machine them from something hard...

@wolframmalukker Go go go! ( I love explorers!, At some point in the future I must build a companion for my 58 Flying V built 😉 )
