Final sanding was with P600g paper (dry). Then I got some paint on there, I couldn’t resist. The conditions were not ideal but I managed. This is the first coat of black (second actually, the first is...

I did some final pinhole filling, sanding and prepping today. Attachment : C1D26F88-DE69-4913-A13D-3C316932E438.jpeg

I'm now doing some work on the neck, I'm rolling the fretboard edges over to make it a bit more comfortable to play. I'm using a razor blade to scrape off the majority and then going over that with so...

I spent a little time on this bass today. I got the Mirka out and then the buffer. It's come up a treat @darrenking 😁👍 Attachment : IMG_20210927_162018.jpg Attachment : IMG_...

Huge thank you to all those that voted to get a Mirka sander, what a difference that made. @cheesewhisk Yep, told you I would be a good investment. 😁👍 Your guitar build is looking gre...

Does anyone know what this gouge with the strange handle would have been used for. @robin I can’t help you with that one Robin. It’s concaved so some kind of gouge or something. It’s not for chipping...

Here's a short update on progress. More will be happening very shortly. @wayne_f Yeah, I offset the hole in my router base plate to avoid that happening. It’s no big deal, you can just cut some exces...

A couple more pictures from the fretboard side and headstock. Attachment : AB8D7D9F-7DBF-4758-A4E0-FFE26154FF13.jpeg Attachment : 3CA9DCE7-940D-4E26-9A22-A5CB0317101C.jpeg Attachment...

Unmasking and test fit, I couldn’t resist. I’ll get some paint on the body next and then glue the neck in. Attachment : AF34FBCF-AD91-4306-9BEB-4A1DD1F022F5.jpeg Attachment : CF676128-7F4...

I seem to recall I once had a small white plastic internal pot for this gun - It fitted inside the main pot for smaller quantities like bursts etc...maybe still available? @markbailey Ahh… interestin...

That looks really good man, I bet you are happy with it. Well done sir! On to the next one. 👍

Now... in canada it is still early. I've only had one cup-o-tea and I've used up my learning for that cup. Thanks boo. I forsee me abusing your knowledge again. @bpower You live in a beautiful countr...

He stored it mostly apart. I have already put it back together and checked as much as I can think of. Even sprayed thinner through it and everything seems to be working. @bpower Excellent. 👍...

He was very meticulous about how he cleaned and stored his tools that, even after about 20 years in my shed, everything still works like new. I'm not sure if the size of the spray gun is overkill for ...

More great advice. Would you post a close-up picture of the line when it's completely finished? @russ Yeah sure. When I go into the workshop today, I’ll show you the line tape, how I’ve applied it a...

I've been following your advice, wet sanding up through the grits, all it takes is time and patience. @robin Whatever you are painting, a guitar, a car, a bike, a garage door, etc….. the top coat is ...

When you're masking up the fretboard do you totally cover it or leave a tiny slither along the edge between the fretboard and the neck? How quickly do you take the tape off after the spraying is done?...

This looks really cool! Thanks for the tips with the prep work and temperature. Valuable info! @c-cap Thanks, that’s what this platform is for, sharing advice, you are welcome.

Very clean. I have to admit... working with colours and sprays intimidate me more than building the guitar. My late father was an autobody mechanic/painter and left me all his tools that have been sit...
