@marcel I do agree with you about @markbailey but you are not giving yourself enough credit. I’m sure you could do it on your own now that you have been to the workshop a few times. All of us can, if ...

That is such a beautiful instrument, amazing work @marcel

@marcel This is a really nice build, I’m looking into building a bass soon. You look the business on stage with that. Excellent work!

@darrenking Yeah thanks Darren. I watched this video that Mark did and he suggested using 80, 120 and 240 grits, then finish it off on a diamond stone. I think your advice on buying a diamond stone to...

@robin This video Mark made on sharpening chisels is really good but he also mentions that he may do another video on sharpening gouges. He also mentions yet another video on sharpening cabinet scrape...

@e-den-hertog Thanks, I think the way I’m going at the moment, I would batch spray a few guitars and necks so I could calculate how many cans I would need. So, with doing more than one job, 400ml cans...

@jonhodgson No probs, I think it’s important we are all here to help each other out with everything. I know what you mean about YouTube videos, most of them are American/Canadian and maybe some Austra...

@tv1010101 Thanks for that! ? Yep, I should have watched the video first. No I bet I can get some sharp chisels with these. I’ll make a homemade board with 80, 120 and 240 grits for the worst of the w...

Not watched this video yet @markbailey but I’m gonna! Just bought these. Attachment : 5CC02F0D-2E39-49F5-8559-05AC1B69DB21.jpeg Attachment : E1FE66FA-9988-436E-942A-498361596017.jpeg

@tv1010101 That’s a pretty good idea, whatever makes life easier. Let’s see what the others think. @markbailey ?

@tv1010101 Yeah I agree it’s not good, not being able to edit posts. Sometimes I don’t check what I’ve written before I post it and then realise I’ve made some hideous grammatical error. It would be g...

I am out of my depth with wiring and as a player I like to keep it simple. Unless people ask for more knobs and electrics, I’m only putting 1 Volume and 1x 3 way switch for 2 pickups on all my builds....

@david-johnson09 This article on grounding wires is just what I need, cheers!

@tv1010101 Yeah I think the Deejy gadget is cool, I think it will be a good investment.

Posted by: @ @david-johnson09 That is a really cool device, I must invest. Cheers.

Posted by: @ Deej that has made me chuckle. I’m not bad with paint but other parts of guitar building fox me sometimes, especially wiring.

If you want to use 2k, you are not limited to using Spray Max in rattle cans. I would say nearly every car body supplies now offers their own 2k clear in rattle cans. Fundamentally it’s all the same s...

@robin We don’t know which part yet but we want to get there before Scotland wins it independence! I have been taken to many parts of Scotland on family holidays as a child and I continue to explore d...

Posted by: @ I have to hunt around for them really, it’s a job in itself, especially since COVID hit. It’s the reason I increased my buying because I’m making guitars full time now as my gardening b...

Posted by: @ That really is a stunning piece of wood and a fine guitar build.
