Posted by: @rocknroller912 I made an English Longbow @rocknroller912 What? Oh yes! It’s strange, I was looking into longbow making a while back but got totally distracted by guitar making. I will de...

Posted by: @mattbeels Crazy how that guy removes his respirator immediately after spraying, their extraction must be state of the art and then some! @mattbeels Yeah it’s so good having extraction li...

Posted by: @markbailey We'll all be watching and cheering you on whatever...if it explodes you get extra points! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Posted by: @wayne_f I'm not sure when or how this happened but I just now noticed it (after applying 3 coats of finish). The truss rod somehow slipped about a half-inch toward the headstock. Obviousl...

Posted by: @tej is there a reason not to use ash for a neck either it it’s entirety or and part of a laminated neck? Currently making a new ash blank for a body and someone’s offered up some ash for ...

@rathius Hey man, welcome. Cool design, although one thing that jumps out at me is the headstock. Just make sure you have enough room for all of the tuners/machine heads and they are accessible enoug...

Posted by: @tv101 Could you do a glossy black finish, with some sort of subtle gold flake in it (on a guitar body)? *subtle* @tv101 Yeah, anything is possible. There is a technique called “...

This flake is made up of green, gold and silver flake so it has a really good flip effect to it. I’m quite pleased with how it all went and how it now looks. I put three coats of clear on and I’ll put...

Time to remove the masking tape and clear coat the lot to make it all pop. 💚✨💚✨💚✨💚✨💚✨ Attachment : E70FE2F9-7F7E-4C28-9C...

Now I mix some flake into some clear basecoat and apply it over the Apple Green pearl. I also applied a piece of masking tape onto the green basecoat before applying the flake, this is so I can see th...

Before I spray these paints all over a guitar project, I need to know how these paints and flake are going to behave and ultimately how it looks when it’s done. This is why I do a test sprayout. I pu...

Thought I would have a play and do a sprayout test. Grab your sunglasses. Im using a speedshape for this sprayout. Attachment : 0931D00A-4330-4F3A-888B-B894E6B6DB0E.jpeg

Posted by: @tv101 Well, I guess that's still something to look forward to. @tv101 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Posted by: @tv101 I'd be happy just to see *anything* - quite miss the Saturday sessions in the workshop. @tv101 Yeah I’m the same, I really miss it. What I do instead at 1pm every Saturday is cry f...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I’ve noticed recently while buying parts online that there are some expensive templates for measuring nut spacing. Wonder if anyone has used one or if there are any opinion...

Posted by: @mattbeels The video is dead @steveadams! Please re-upload as I’d love to see it! @mattbeels Yeah it’s dead for me too (on my iPad) but it works just fine on my PC.

@markbailey What I think is worth exploring more would be a more in-depth look at nut making. When making guitars, I always buy a new nut and hope it fits. If the nut is slightly too high, I just sand...

I think @markbailey should do a “nut making, setup and maintenance course”. I think making a nut from a blank is an art in itself and should be explored further.

Posted by: @mattbeels I like the double edge files. Two sizes each with a handle and they have a V shape which helps to open up the top of the string slot, they suck for a PRS nut though. Keep in min...
