Another which is quite nice is a mix (equal quantities) turpentine, boiled linseed and beeswax..it a very old gunstock (musket) recipe. Smells great too. @deej That sounds good, I think I’ll try that...

Cheers @johnnierox-boo. I did think about doing all sorts of fancy things with pickups and switching .... but ended up with it being about as traditional as it could possibly be! I can’t take any cr...

I’ve used stain and oil. It does lift some of the stain but if you leave long enough between drying and coats it usually comes out grand @deej Yep, I’ll agree with that, it does lift the stain. That...

Wow! That’s a very kind offer, I hope I am around when you visit. It would be nice to meet you (all of us) one day. @clinton agreed! @johnnierix-boo - feels like we should have some sort of meet-up ...

Would love to experience the workshop one day. It’s a must. A much needed vacation for my wife and I in the U.K. It has been in our bucket list for we have never been and maybe prepare a meal one nig...

Epic builds!

I'm plugging into a Laney TT50 combo. Great amp..... 3-channels, full midi-switching and loud as..... Well, not directly... In between is a pedal board with a GLAB GSC-4 midi looper/switcher, volume p...

Nice one Tone........... I wonder: I was told that stain + oil = recipe for disaster. This looks great though, is the finish holding under sweaty circumstances?

Beautiful. Love the steel guard.

I've got a 6 foot long strip of 12V LEDs pinned to the underside of a shelf above my workbench. Also an old angle poise lamp attached to the same shelf that I can pull down closer to the bench.

Yeah this is a subject I wanted to talk about too, I only have one old fluorescent tube in my workshop, it’s about time I upgraded to some LEDs.

Noticed the other day that the 60 cycle hum is so sensitive with my fluorescent bulbs. Moving about in different areas is a considerable difference. For sure I will go with LED. Fortunately, I only ne...

My wife likes the wall hangers and to find it in all parts of the house. She is resolved to the fact that decorative art pieces can be hung. @clinton That’s how I sold it to my wife too. The only pla...

Iv'e got started on the neck at last. @robin Looking good and some nice weather for the occasion too.

I hope all is ok @johnnierox-boo and you got everything sorted.. @deej Yep everything sorted, I appreciate your concern.

Roland GR20 Synth anyone? It was Mr Deej asking a different question on a different topic that reminded me. I've been through a few midi outputting guitars (started with a Brian Moore something, then ...
