@tej What I’m thinking now is to do that to get the built up finish off and then colour the hole with soft graphite pencil lead and go over again until I’m back to wood, I think I only need to remove...

Hello there @stephen, sounds like you’ve already gotten great advice and encouragement. This is a super cool place to be, welcome!

I like you're style @bpower , part of the fun of guitar building for me is finding a way to do it. You're next challenge is to add dust extraction to your thicknesser.

Looks awesome @bpower, great job!

There are a lot of tools you can buy for guitar building that would break the bank if you tried to get them all. What I can not afford I try and build until I can afford to get the nice stuff. For in...

@robin, with regard to masking the holes, I meant I didn’t do that, not that I don’t intentionally! That said do you know how you would go about this?

Again, thank for the welcome - and I'm sure great advice. I'm just about finished my 2nd kit build, I've learned A LOT - some of which I'll go back and apply to my 1st kit and even some of my more aff...

t was a little scary. @boo I’m not putting a reamer anywhere near this build, bad experiences with them, if it comes to it I’ll make some tedious sanding tool and do it very carefully. I’ve some scra...

I’ve somehow missed all of this I’ll not take your previous silence personally @boo 😉 Only concern now is that the bridge is a very tight fit in the mount holes, at least it is in the test on...

making a neck still looks intimidating @stephen Firstly, welcome 🙂 Secondly, please don’t let wood intimidate you! I’d previously put together a kit guitar, finished it nicely and learn how t...

Welcome @wayne_f I hope you enjoy your stay, gonna head over to the showcase to see what you’re up to 🙂
