Got the first lot of clear sanded flat today, looks kind of dull doesn’t it? Attachment : 58565E9F-78E6-4B21-9D0A-DFEA3354A621.jpeg

I grew up in an auto body repair shop. Dad owned one since not long after I was born. I’ll be 62 in December. I shot red-oxide lacquer primer by the time I was 12. First paint I shot was DuPont Lucite...

RE: Neck wood

I'd say a definite no no for newbies - risky unless you have a few builds under your belt. It's too difficult to work. If you are experienced and prepared to take the risk then why not - if you can fi...

RE: ✨✨NEW **Metal Flake** project ✨✨

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...

RE: ✨✨NEW **Metal Flake** project ✨✨

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...

RE: ✨✨NEW **Metal Flake** project ✨✨

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...

RE: What would you like to see next?

I'd be happy just to see *anything* - quite miss the Saturday sessions in the workshop. 🙂 (And the Weds sessions too, but I don't want to be greedy!)

RE: What would you like to see next?

@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...

RE: Nut Files
