@darrenking It seems there are a few still hanging around

developed a completely plastic guitar, @darrenkingI saw a review of his plastic guitar in (I think) Guitarist magazine years ago (a retro review, I'm not that old). It was so so and apparently the gu...

@mattbeels I enjoy the highline videos, but his drum sander is an example of a beltless design

I think a motor is the only way to go as that hand crank is a bit underwhelming. @mattbeels Most of the other designs on YouTube don't have a belt, so it's already a step up, but motorizing it should...

@rocknroller912 I'm lucky at the moment because the London Hackspace is quite close to me (less than 25 minutes if there is no traffic), but its future in the current location is somewhat in doubt (th...

I could certainly machine the plywood parts but I don't think I'd want to get involved in the assembly side of things I don't think anyone who isn't capable of putting one of these together from a se...

Industrial sewing machine motors are the future for home build machines. 1hp servo motor, controller and 'throttle' lever come in at around the £100 mark on ebay, with lower power version even less. P...

@rocknroller912 asked me to provide some info on this design in the live feed chat. I am planning on building a drum sander for my local hackspace (no point in doing it for myself as I have nowhere to...

@boo It makes perfect sense, I thought it was probably something along those lines (logically you either had to get "more" paint or "better" paint really), but the size of the apparent discrepancy was...

@boo, can you explain why the ordinary tins of chameleon paints seem to be so much more expensive than the spray cans? I'd expect it to be the other way round if anything. Custom Paints Chromacoat 400...

I bet a lot of forum members are sick of the sight of the “Recent Posts” being clogged up with this thread every day. @boo I'd say that's more an issue with the system than the posts, it would proba...

Also, can anybody explain to me why there is an Edit button on posts that doesn't do anything? Either let me fix typos or stop teasing me!

It’s got some inbuilt, signature light relicing if that’s what you mean. They are not mistakes at all, honest @boo That's can be the hardest to achieve, you are a true artisan.

Ah oh! That’s this job out the window then. @Boo, sometimes the situation calls for a fine wine, other times a drinkable plonk is perfect! 😀

Some might say it’s OTT but that’s flipping crazy (or is that just me?). Exciting times. For me the secret for getting away with extreme looks is they have to look even better when you look closer, ...

From the description of the process in the video it seems what we'd need is someone with a CNC machine and the equipment to laminate films together. Remind you of anyone we know?

@boo If you want OTT, burst one of these to flip flop paint.

A friend of mine just released an album, I haven't picked a favourite song from it yet, but I'm really enjoying it, so here are a couple

@boo I look forward to seeing your results. I think the guitar in the video might have looked even cooler if Derek had done multicolour sandback stain finish on the main part of the body, they can loo...

@boo I actually wondered if they painted the very edge matt black, but faded it out before the flip flop coat starts to fade, to give a really intensive result on the edges.
