@clinton I’m so glad to hear you are ok, it all looks heartbreaking. Glad it’s not you but I still feel for all of those affected.

@tv101 definitely worth what is worth. Love em. I frequent and ordered a couple of times through their website.

@clinton Hey man, are you ok? I’ve just seen the news about Hawaii.

@boo Yes I am ok. Tragic what happened in Maui. I live on the island of Kauai. Thank you for the concern. Good to see your back on the forum. We missed you.

*Another* excellent build and finish there Mr @clinton - congrats on that and whoever it's going to! Re the BKPs - they've become very expensive now. I remember buying them when they were ~£150/set, ...

@clinton Good to hear from you Clinton, I was hoping you hadn't been caught up in the fires, from what we've seen on news reports here in UK it looks absolutely horrendous.

@koendb @boo Umhhh, you might need to chime in on this. We need your advice. I am about to pull the trigger on spray guns real soon as well.

now, that made me laugh. Many thanks for that. Having said that, the Americans in the Large Scale Plane forum do tend to say they stick a fork in their kit at the end of the work. I rather put it i...

@Koendb that looks like an adequate compressor for small jobs like finishing a guitar. Go for low volume airgun - that way you wil have more control over the thickness of the finish layer. High volum...

Today I have put some coats of wood hardener on the top wood as spalted maple (or any spalted wood) can be quite brittle. So no spectacular progress today, but it does give an impression of how it wil...

the top is almost done, I used some hot hide glue to glue on a couple of extra pieces to extend the width, using a rub joint technique, I think carving the neck is going to be next, looking forward to...

I patched in some wood to repair a bad rout on the other side of the neck, this should make more sense when I start shaping it later. Attachment : neck repair-2.jpg Attachment : neck repair...

No I did not laminate it myself, bought it at Masave in Zwolle where I buy all my wood. Rick usually has many neck blanks in stock, also laminated. And what I like is he will always make it to the thi...

Very nice work @clinton 🙏🎸🎶🙂

Looking forward to the best outcome mate!

@robin Yes, I couldnt do it but I tend to wear gloves rasping the neck and half way through I seem to take it off again and deal with the blisters on my hand.

@clinton When I started watching your video marking out the neck carve, my first thought was that I couldn't do that with any accuracy with gloves on. I was glad to see you take the goves off, I don'...
