Hi Darren. When I was talking about slippage I meant in the context of an inbuilt "clutch" similar to Robbie O'Brien's ( ) Hopefully you wont need it but if you press too hard it slows down, hence le...

When is that glitterball guitar going to be ready for a final buffing Boo? Feel another product test coming on? As usual all the pics are in reverse order but I have never found a way to alter this ot...

Thanks for all your input folks. That's a resounding 'NO' from the forum then with the exception of Eddie6string. I'll use the money on masking tape and superglue instead then and carry on using my Sa...

superglue instead then and carry on using my Safe-T-Planer Superglue is a very useful emergency first aid kit - keep it next to the Safe-T-Planer (if ever something was misnamed!!).

Looks like some bugger has scribbled on your fiddle there! 😉 I was idly speculating because I’ve seen decorated joins on flat top backs and thought it might be prudent to work out at what sta...

Hmmm.... I've already got a couple of orange guitars. Hang on, what's this? Attachment : 9FCF2D7A-2235-4F7E-B4F0-C5238A676B28.jpeg

I always sit and look at the amount of waste created by cutting the perfect neck blank from a big lump of timber and reflect on the fact that the prices charged by Mark and other suppliers really isn’...

Hello folks Have any of you used one of these or have any thoughts about them? I've looked at reviews and YouTube vids but haven't found anything guitar related about them. I've got an opportunity to ...

I can’t comment on the specific Triton model, but I have something similar with a Makita badge. 1. Yes, noisy. 2. Yes, heavy. 3. They also produce a huge amount of shavings / cuttings. You either ...

@jamesnowayi’mtypingallthatshitouthaha All I know about planers is that most people recommend a spiral cutterhead as it apparently makes an enormous difference...

James I wouldn't get a planer. If you buy your wood from instrument suppliers it will be near to the finished size just leaving margins to work with. Thickness machines don't usually have a very wide ...

Just taken delivery of these amazing flakes from America, they are pretty stunning and I can’t wait to get them onto some guitars. Attachment : FD2BB052-9E50-4DB6-80B8-E98D95D03E58.jpeg Att...

Rather happy to have received a (bona fide) text from my GP surgery a couple of hours ago, inviting me to make a vaccination appointment. 😊 Jab #1 next Tuesday. 👍 👍 👍 ...

Remember my total balls up carving a neck few weeks ago? Well "take two" turned out a bit better (though not 100%) Attachment : IMG_20210216_134852.jpg Attachment : IMG_20210216_134727.jpg ...

Awesome paint job Boo! Talk about making it shiny!! Are the flakes applied with static attraction? I'm just trying to work out how you spray a solid! @darrenking I’ve just made a short video on how I...

Shiny shiny metal flake with several coats of clear.

I finally got around to testing out my new metal flake gun on a Strat body. I used a black ground coat, then a transparent carrier/base coat, dry flake and 2K clear coat. I used three different guns, ...

Hey everyone, Hope you are all keeping well! I want to cut 5.5-6mm rings for my marker dots, which I will fill with synthetic crushed opal. I want to keep the maple wood in the middle so the grain...

Hey foiks! Mark & Carol, I have really enjoyed lurking in the community that you have created here. I am so glad I found your live streams! They have been a wonderful way to pass the pandemic. L...
