This is My Favourite Song For This Moment........if you've got a spare 15 minutes..... 🙂🙏🎶🎸

@tej I found these diamond stones in my local diy shop a few years ago. They are ok for the price and I use them for all my chisel and plane sharpening, held in a vice, to set the micro bevel. Instead...

@rocknroller912 thanks for the link, couldn’t actually find one from on the site though. That said I’ll be looking at a cheap option right now given the expense of guitar build parts and tools so far.

@tej there are quite a few plane restoration videos on youtube, basically you want the flattest surface possible and some sandpaper. I think vintagetoolshop probably flatten any planes that need it be...

@jonhodgson thanks for that, I’ve not settled on a sharpening method as yet, definitely need to sort it out though as all my chisels are a mess too and in need of TLC. Granite is over the top for me r...

@tej, Ben Crowe has a couple of live Q&As a week (one is live right now), you could ask him what his suggestion is for flattening a block plane on a budget.

@boo thanks for that, looks the same as the one that just arrived, interestingly the bottom looks far from flat ground too, presuming that’s not actually been a problem for you?

@tej I got an engineers flat surface from this firm. Not cheap but it has a test certificate accurate to 0.001mm. Solid polished granite and very heavy about 50mm thick I think. For soft water stone a...

Although, Surfing with the Alien is probably favourite Satch album. @boo a cracking album, a lot of his earlier work I really like. New stuff is nice too but forgettable in comparison. Great to see ...

Might be a bit edgy for some ...

Scarily, @Marcel, that JJ video appeared in my YT feed the other day!!

My favourite song today: That's really not my favourite live version of Sweet Jane @marcel. I know it's some famous / accomplished / well-regarded set of musicians playing it, but - for me - it co...

I know you’re going to paint it @boo but I was thinking that the mismatch of the grain on the headstock would seep through... but I guess that you know what you’re doing, right? When I saw the "ext...

@boo does the piece of metal work better than a blade for scraping the surface after?

Attachment : image.png That's a sensibly economic use of timber!

Thanks Boo. If you look closely at the pictures on the wall behind me you might recognise the greatest castle in all of England, imho.

Thanks @Russ @Marcel @Boo I really enjoy the Bliss sessions - there's been a huge amount of music played at those sessions through the years. I'm also grateful to Carol for continuing to broadcast...

@koendb It was cheaper to buy in bulk than small quantities with postage and bulk discounts.

@rocknroller912 that is a lot of necks you gonna be building with those 🙂
