I have messed up this thread a bit, I accidentally posted some of my stuff in the wrong thread. Sorry about that.

This is good advice Edwin, thank you. I will do just that.

I will do that, thanks for your help Edwin. It’s hard to tell anything is wrong but here are some pics and a video of my Tele today. The majority of it is fine but the fisheye on the front looked terr...

I have seen this used on videos before but I couldn’t seem to find the one I wanted in the UK. Minwax Wipe on Poly is the one I was looking for but I could only find this one that will cost me about ...

Failed again! Im just going out to buy some turnips! ????

Yeah, I think I need to stay away from sanding sealer. I wonder if it could be anything to do with the CA glue I used to stabilise the spalt. I’ve never used shellac, don’t know how to use it, I gues...

Well, it’s not gone that well really. The back and sides have come out really well but the front face has some major fisheye for some reason. I think when it’s cured, I’ll mask off the sides and back ...

???????? I’ll be throwing more than turnips at it if it goes wrong again! I will video it as well! ?

Love the bass Herb, nice build. It really is a good fix for the inlays, glad you got it sorted, I bet it felt like nightmare when you realised you had put them in the wrong place. I can just imagine t...

I want to plan a Bass build but never done one before. There are two things I want to do, build a bass and build a left handed bass. I am assuming that making a bass isn’t all that different to build...

Holy Smoke! That is amazing, what a great fix. That good to know and being part of this school forum is going to help me and a lot of people out massively.

Thanks for the advice Edwin, much appreciated. It’s a good job you mentioned about the spray sealer, I was going to give the whole body a couple of coats of nitro sealer. I think I’m just going to go ...

What kind of metal did you use for these clamps Herb?

Oh this is a good question. I would like to know this also.

I’m loving it Herb, well done. I’ll have a go one day.

Yeah, it’s a pretty good system, I like it, especially if there is a prize for this week. ????✌️

I used Liberon. I was under the impression that I would have to seal everything in sanding sealer before putting any kind of top coat on. Maybe that is incorrect. Are the processes involved any differ...

I have always used 2k auto clear coat for finishing my electric guitars, with great results. I used to work as a paint sprayer in car body shops (a long time ago now) so it was a natural thing for me ...

You’ve given me something to aspire to Herb, thank you for sharing. I don’t have a lot of disposable income at the moment but it’s something for me to look into deeper and start making some clamps ma...

This looks amazing Herb, I’m getting more and more tempted with the acoustic build I must say. I look forward to seeing some more pictures of this build.
