Oh I forgot to include the airbrush pic. Attachment : 65738742-A81E-48AF-A6D9-06BF00DCC2E2.jpeg

Flattened the clearcoat on this pink thing yesterday, did a little bit of a graphic with my airbrush and re-clearcoated. I’ll leave it for a few days and then flatten it again and put a few more coat...

Last time I wanted to route a trussrod channel, I used the guiding rail from the router itself. While this did a perfect job on my first neck, but on the last one, I had some spots where the router bi...

Yes, Stewmac aren't cheap, but they have so many cool looking things. But with the Stewmax option meaning there's no postage on individual orders, it becomes reasonable to make small orders. When I fi...

Yes, ordered the set of three polishing compounds about two weeks ago and arrived this morning. No issues with customs or vat, but was well below the customs threshold.

Interesting, according to gov.uk the VAT threshold is only £15 (duty is £135). I guess there's a degree of luck involved as to whether the customs officer dealing with your package can be bothered to ...

Beware of Stewmacs 'free delivery'! HMRC will assess a value for the carriage of about £150 and charge you VAT, duty and admin costs on this. No getting around it, no discussion, no appeal. Pay it or ...

I think it's nuts too, I'm just relaying what the new rules are.I don't know how they're policing it, if at all.

@boo Daaaaang, that’s some expensive paint! I didn’t really think about it from your other post about SM but doesn’t anyone in the UK have shielding paint?!? It‘s a good thing you didn’t get charged c...

I don't know if this has been brought up here before, but at 11pm on December 31st the rules on VAT for goods imported to the UK changed for the whole world, not just the EU.Basically if a consignment...

Has anyone ever managed to order something for less than £135 from Stewmac?? 😋 I hadn't realised that the rules for collecting/paying VAT had changed worldwide - I'd assumed it was just an E...

Hi Tej, Autocorrection kicked in, it is Hardwax oil. A mixture of oil and wax, normally used on floors. After staining I used another oil to get the intense yellow off a bit and also enhance the grai...

Slow progress after more illness! At some point I’m not going to need a new tool to do the next step, the carving is going well but the rasp I have is way to big for the heel and volute(?) so waiting ...

I was challenged by a friend to do a metallica demo on my Flying V.So I just made my first facebook video ever 😀 Don't judge my playing too much, My sloppy playing is not getting any better with age :...
