@wolframmalukker Very nice indeed, keep going. 👍

@seanf I later added a small bench vice that just clamps on; it can easily be taken off for times when it’s in the way. It was cheap and good quality from a good quality vendor, I use them a lot. ...

@seanf I also converted the box room in the house into a small indoor workshop, it’s great in the winter. I stripped the room of everything, decorated and used the top off an old wardrobe to make a wo...

@seanf Just to give you another bench idea or two. In my garage/workshop I took an old pallet, screwed some legs to it with strengthening braces and put a big piece of MDF on top. This was all scrap ...

@seanf Welcome to you Sean. Whatever you decide to do first, you will find help here. As far as a bench goes, I used two trestle type things and a big sheet of MDF for my first work bench (see pictur...

@powerful Well done for taking this on, I look forward to watching your progress. Good luck man. 👍

Just because…… 🙂

Posted by: @alanlush On the plus side, it’s gorgeous to play. @alanlush That’s all that matters really. If it ain’t broke….. 😁🎸

@alanlush Wow! That is certainly different. Good on ya! 🤘😁🎸

Something to blow the cobwebs away. 🔥🤘😜🤘🔥

This one is for @russ because thanks to you Russ I’ve been humming this damn riff for days. It’s a good song but the main riff is that infectious, it stays in your head for days (mine anyway). I need ...

Posted by: @tv101 It depends on what you intend the finished guitar to look like. You certainly can build a guitar, start to finish, in a week. Mark has taught complete numpties (I’m looking at myse...

@rocknroller912 And, it will give me a chance to practice and improve my own burst painting on guitars. A gravity fed gun is a must I would say. Buy the best you can afford (to use Mark’s ethos) and ...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I’m planning a 3 colour sunburst body sometime probably after the winter unless I can find a good way of heating my garage up to temperature, so I might need to pick your b...

@tv101 Thanks T, appreciate it. The finishing section you mention (3 months) is partly due to life getting in the way and the dry/curing times of products I used. Another part of the problem is that ...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Your impact is very positive for sure. I had never heard of isolator paint before, although I’ve done a lot of wood finishing. @rocknroller912 Thanks. I guess isolator is ...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Thanks for sharing this, it’s giving us all a free masterclass in painting @rocknroller912 No probs. Painting is like voodoo black magic sometimes and it’s just finding th...

Posted by: @tej thanks, I’ll have a go at making some first but at least those are a sensibly priced option @tej No probs. When I spotted these, I thought of you. Knowledge is power. 👍

@marcel Actually, it looks like that is the only one they do, a flat one. It does mean that the neck will be raised though, so it’s like lowering the bridge. This would give more adjustment but the nu...

Posted by: @marcel But these shims are flat, so they don't change the neck angle. So if you want to change the neck angle you have to sand a taper on the shim before using it. @marcel Yeah, I used t...
