@boo Good work and good idea with the whisky stain, I wish I'd thought of that for my whisky barrel top. Maybe you could've just dipped it in the plentiful supply of Campbeltown loch and saved some o...

I got a few coats of oil on and hung it up to dry and cure for a couple of weeks. Attachment : IMG_20230704_212836.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230704_212826.jpg Attachment : IMG_202306...

@nsj Yeah, I think I know why though. As I want to keep the top boards rustic and even though they are generally flat, they are a little bit uneven. This is due to me doing a deep burn with my blow to...

@boo were you using the double sided tape? I've been having a couple of issues with it and have gone back to good old superglue and masking tape for now. Just works soo well

I did a little video of it too. 😂

I got to the finishing stage of the body and wanted to raise the grain before applying the finish. Usually I use water to do that but as I now live in Scotland and the whisky is so wonderful, I used s...

Obviously more sanding and routing. Attachment : IMG_20230623_152833.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230625_154043.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230625_154017.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230625_1...

My routing template slipped a couple of times when I was routing but I went along with it and it turned out well, I like it. Attachment : IMG_20230622_164147.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230622_...

hollowed it out, on the real one I'll do this first before gluing on the wings, it'd be much easier, it's now a lot lighter weight and sounds pretty good when you tap it. Attachment : body hollowe...

Today I worked on the body. Cut out the shape with a jig saw (my bandsaw hasn't enough power to cut through a body blank, especially when it's treated with wood hardener). Attachment : image.png ...

@tv101 definitely worth what is worth. Love em. I frequent and ordered a couple of times through their website.

*Another* excellent build and finish there Mr @clinton - congrats on that and whoever it's going to! Re the BKPs - they've become very expensive now. I remember buying them when they were ~£150/set, ...

@clinton Good to hear from you Clinton, I was hoping you hadn't been caught up in the fires, from what we've seen on news reports here in UK it looks absolutely horrendous.

@koendb @boo Umhhh, you might need to chime in on this. We need your advice. I am about to pull the trigger on spray guns real soon as well.

Thanks @clinton. I've long fancied doing an amp build. I was booked to do an amp-building course a few years ago, but C-19 arrived, so that course got cancelled. Then I found these kits (business is...

@tv101 That is freakin awesome!!!

5w is plenty loud enough for my needs @clinton! The "Power" control dials that down to about 0.1w, with anything in between available at the turn of the dial. I already had a "clean" (ie Fenderish) 5...

@tv101 An Amp?!!! Woohaaa! Yes go! 30 watt tube?

Ouch @Robin!

@tv101 Congratulations on your successful electronic build, it was a good decision to avoid the bang. Back in my working days I inadvertently put 240v AC into the 24v DC circuit of a control system w...
