I got a few coats of oil on and hung it up to dry and cure for a couple of weeks. Attachment : IMG_20230704_212836.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230704_212826.jpg Attachment : IMG_202306...

@nsj Yeah, I think I know why though. As I want to keep the top boards rustic and even though they are generally flat, they are a little bit uneven. This is due to me doing a deep burn with my blow to...

I did a little video of it too. 😂

I got to the finishing stage of the body and wanted to raise the grain before applying the finish. Usually I use water to do that but as I now live in Scotland and the whisky is so wonderful, I used s...

Even more routing. Attachment : IMG_20230628_115754.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230628_170854.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230628_115741.jpg

Obviously more sanding and routing. Attachment : IMG_20230623_152833.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230625_154043.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230625_154017.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230625_1...

My routing template slipped a couple of times when I was routing but I went along with it and it turned out well, I like it. Attachment : IMG_20230622_164147.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230622_...

Some pics. In the wrong order as usual but I'm sure you'll make sense of them. Attachment : IMG_20230617_145318.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230622_162336.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230617_14...

I didn't go with the oak top this time, I just used some old boards I found in an out building. This isn't anything new from me really, I'm just keeping my eye in and feeding my addiction.

@koendb Right, quick run down. You should buy the compressor with biggest tank you can afford and with the highest CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating. Also, stay clear of HVLP spray guns if you are b...

@tv101 The last set of Bare Knuckle pickups I bought cost me nearly £500. They only made 200 sets and the profits went to humanitarian aid for Ukraine. It was my way of helping out and I got some wond...

@clinton I’m so glad to hear you are ok, it all looks heartbreaking. Glad it’s not you but I still feel for all of those affected.

@clinton Hey man, are you ok? I’ve just seen the news about Hawaii.

@robin It is indeed and it wasn't cheap. 300 smackers. It's actually to treat the external timber cladding on the house but I will be steeling a bit for a couple of guitars. Our house is clad in a har...

Bought some new finish. It's not cheap this stuff is it? Attachment : IMG_20230704_164819.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230704_164827.jpg

Fanny are a great band, I discovered them a few years back. I haven’t seen this video though, I’ll watch it. Thanks for posting.

Only just seen this. Very nice guitar indeed. Happy Birthday @tv101

@robin That’s pretty good service, I’m glad you got it sorted out that quickly. Can’t get in at Tarbert, Lochgilphead is the nearest practice we can get treated at right now. The whole dental service...

@nsj Who do you think I am, Arnold Schwarzenegger? 😂 I’ll have to do a bit of weight training before I attempt to carve that? I may use the oak barrel when I get it dry and flat enough. It wil...

@robin Dental abscesses are terrible, I don’t know how you even made it into your workshop. I’ve got an appointment in Lochgilphead next month, think I might need root canal work, again.
