@johnnierox-boo I am NOT going to google that to see if it is a real thing!! Mainly because it almost certainly is!!! arrrrrgh!

I have searched the forums for any Set neck v Bolt on neck debates but can’t find any. This must surely be a topic that splits the nation isn’t it? Any thoughts strongly one way or the other, either in…   Read more»

Hey Marcel, Don’t you have a spare key to her house? She’ll never know!! 🤣 🤣 

When you get to the polishing stage you need to hone the flat side of the blade as well to help remove the little wire edge that forms along the blade edge when sharpening. You must always keep the blade…   Read more»

Hi John, I haven’t watched this video but I don’t think you’d need to run through from 80g every time you sharpen something. If so then you have left it far too long between visits to your sharpening bench. Once…   Read more»

Hi John, If you are buying secondhand tools that need a degree of initial rescuing I guess these grits of paper would work but I think that 80g and 120g are a maybe little ‘agricultural’ for routine sharpening of woodworking…   Read more»

@tv1010101 Why cut down on soldering? You can’t beat the smell of hot flux!! My father worked at HP in the printed circuit shop for many years and we undertook numerous home electronics projects when I was a kid so…   Read more»

@johnnierox-boo Hi Folks. Maybe I’ve use made more typos than everyone else but if you have created a post you also have the option of deleting it. My usual posting sequence goes something like this: 1. Enthusiastically type response to…   Read more»

I like simplicity, so I’m going with one volume, one tone and a two or three way switch. Is it essential to have a ‘both pick ups at once’ option? I have a couple of hundred beautiful little stainless steel…   Read more»

Check out NitorLack (https://nitorlack.com/en)
Based in Spain, so shipping cost is very reasonable, and available in rattle cans or tins for compressor sprayers. Very impressed with the finish and sands and polishes beautifully.

Whoa! A guitar fretboard that makes your fingers go septic! Awesome! Sounds like the kind of present that V. Putin might give to someone!

Good morning folks, Knobs! Sorry to be so blunt but there’s no other way of saying it! I have looked through a lot of photos of everyones amazing electric guitar builds and I just wondered what the thought process is…   Read more»

@robin I have no idea what NGC is. I think autocorrect has been at it again. It should have said PDF!
 

@tv1010101 I know, cool huh?!

On Saturday afternoon/evening in my village, Rushden Herts, there is being held ‘Rushfest’ (not the Scottish one). Organised by one of my neighbours, George McGuire (Olivier Award Winner for his portrayal of Dave Davies in the Kinks musical) and his…   Read more»

Sounds awesome and looks fantastic!
I’m hoping to have a live gig video of my own to post on Sunday…..

Hi Robin, you should be able to  NCG export from Solid Works as a pdf, which is ideal. Just put a 1000mm x 100 mm rectangle on the plan somewhere so that I can check that nothing has been scaled…   Read more»

It very much depends on the format that people can supply the drawings. If I can get enough people using Graphics (at about £20 per license – astonishing value!) then there is relatively little programming that I need to do…   Read more»

Sounds like a great idea

One of the things I want to offer, and I think this would work quite well if Mark can supply the body (or neck) blanks, is to offer a bespoke machining service to guitar makers. This could be just be…   Read more»
