There's no fish oil in it, that's an urban myth that's actually mentioned on their website "Myths and Fun Facts" page. The exact formula is a secret, but between the information they have to provide o...

@boo considering how much money people will pay for a reliced guitar maybe there's a business opportunity here for a whole new class of buggered finish?

@boo Thanks, I've pointed him in the direction of your instagram and made positive comments about what I've seen of your work. I think he's considering his options while he gets stuck into removing th...

Don't use a WD40 rag when you should be using an oily rag, the pros will know you're an amateur because you're confusing WD40 with oil and either sneer or laugh.. or both at the same time (would that ...

@rocknroller912 I doubt very much he'd go for an oil finish. He just commented he might want to go for the same colour as his AC Cobra replica, which I can see working. Attachment : steves_cobra...

Hi, This isn't for me (I want to try my hand at finishing my own) but a friend of mine has a Fender Jaguar that is now looking a bit worn and he just asked me if I had any idea what it would cost to r...

@ndakota there's a video where Chris from Highline Guitars talks about how he handles oil soaked rags (or, more precisely, "handled" as he now uses alternative finishes when he wants the oil look). Yo...

@tej I suspect it's a combination of1) fretboards are usually a tight grained wood 2) He wipes it off straight away Obviously try it for yourself on a piece of scrap first if you can, but I don't thin...

Wood glue is much easier to cleanup than superglue, so long as you do it as you're going along, a damp rag will do it. That's why Ben Crowe has abandoned the superglue approach, I've seen him do both ...

One warning with oil finishes is to be careful with your application cloth/paper disposal. The curing is pretty exothermal and apparently, it's not unknown for things to catch fire if you just lob the...

Thanks guys. @darrenking I'll be in touch about that soon, need to chat with a couple of the other hackspace woodworkers about what we need. I'm also trying to get a bit of a guitar building group hap...

I then would rather keep the black scratch plate with white pickups and accents or perhaps cream ones, @koendb I can see that working too. I just find that the black knobs and pickups on the black sc...

Hi guys, I've got a bunch of jigs I need to make, some guitar related but also general woodworking ones for my local hackspace. 18mm ply is probably a good solution in most cases, but I'd like somethi...

For me the all black doesn't work. Black hardware and white scratchplate might, but otherwise the white and chrome plate.

@boo Is every tool in your garage now tinted pink?

@poco7 I shared this mostly because the type of finish (water based 2K) seems to be a new thing and is potentially interesting because normal 2K produces a very durable finish but is really nasty stuf...

@tv1, the nice thing about picking up a vintage one is that if you don't get on with it you can probably sell it on for much what you bought it for. And you get a bit of history.

I guess the upside is that you're not running the guide on top of the stone, so there's no wear to the stone @tv101 - you're dragging a hardened steel edge over the stone, I doubt you need to worry a...

there is no magic bullet that’s suddenly going to work. @rocknroller912 I'm not suggesting there's a magic bullet, I don't even know if this jig is an effective bullet, my point is that with a job th...

I think the only important question is, does it work? Sharpening is something we should be doing regularly, "getting quite blunt" should be synonymous with "no longer usable for shaving" rather than "...
