I was thinking about this only today, is shielding paint necessary/ advised?

I was joking about imperial to be fair. I use metric because that's what we were taught at school. Many, many moons ago. But yeah certain things you just use imperial because it's the standard ie 25" ...

So it's okay that I use imperial? Got it, cheers.

Any advice on the volute?

Cheers @koendb @mattbeels I kept carving into and thinking, well something else I suck at. @tv101 this is the bit I've really been looking forward to and it really paid off, I'm stupidly proud of it a...

So your saying I probably should leave my nitro finished jazzmaster in the conservatory? Serioulsy though, I used some rattle cans of nitro from northwest guitars. Obviously well ventilated and using...
