He used to use the same polishing system as I still do (a hand held car buffer and liquid compounds). It works well but obviously but it can be a bit scary sometimes when the hand held machine (two ha...

I guess that being responsible for a 335, that has taken the factory two weeks to put together, flying across the workshop and landingon a concrete floor is something that that could come up at their ...

Hi Boo, That's good to know and I can almost hear your excitement level rising at the prospect of having a go! Here is a link that Mark sent me of the 335 Gibson factory. When you get to the bit where...

@darrenking I was talking to a bloke on Instagram messaging last night about his guitar paintwork and how he buffs it. He has the full StewMac buffing machine and uses their compounds to polish the 2K...

@Rocknroller912 That sounds like serious stuff with your hand. Take some time off and let it heal, I know how boring that can get but don't be taking chances with it.

still don't really know what it was but it looked a bit like sepsis starting to take hold. @rocknroller Holy crap, that sounds really bad. Take it easy, seriously. Get well soon and don’t risk anythi...

@tv101 Yes it's fun being a Guinea Pig. Don't think we need to leave our bodies to medical science we've already done our bit.

@darrenking @mattbeels Thanks for the good wishes I've found that I can do varnishing ok so working on non guitar projects. Just have to be careful not to burst any stitches or get any solvent near as...

@rocknroller912 Sorry to hear that you’re a bit out of commission, wishing you a speedy recovery! 🍻🍻🍻

Thanks I had to get an operation on my hand, nothing woodwork related but it was a minor emergency. I'm home now and bored as I can't do anything. Hi Rocknroller, I saw this and though of you! Get we...

You could always build a bigger doghouse @tv101

For every dog that she got, I was allowed 10 guitars. Or for every 10 guitars I got, she was allowed another dog (I'm not sure which way round it worked). It's probably time for another dog ... @tv...

Or for every 10 guitars I got, she was allowed another dog It's the first time I've heard of a guitar maker having to move to a house with a bigger kennel! 🤣 🤣

I think you might be mistaking Boo or I for your wife Having seen you both, let me assure you (both) that there's not too much danger of that! 🤣 Actually, we (my wife and I) used to have a ...

I'm just not 100% convinced that they're good enough to sell! @tv101 Very convincing but not sure this excuse is 100% convincing. I agree with @darrenking that it’s wasted on us. 🤣 They don’t...

I'm just not 100% convinced that they're good enough to sell! And the ones that are good enough to sell ... well, I'd not sell those ones, they're too good!! Hi TV, I think you might be mistaking Bo...
