couple of things I'd love to see are a classical guitar project and also a neck through build going through the entire process from the initial drawing to the finished guitar being a big fan of supers...

@kevin-turvey I think it will work. I’ve used sanding sealer over Danish oil, but from what you describe using oil as a filler probably isn’t necessary. From memory Liberon sanding sealer is quite th...

My intention was to cover the filled surface with 1 coat of LIBERON sanding sealer, sand then stain followed by several coats of sanding sealer sanding in between, then spray with tinted nitro followe...

@kevin-turvey I should have explained better. After a few coats of oil I wet sand with oil and abrasive paper along the grain and let it dry. Then I wet sand with water making sure to keep the water ...

What sort of finish are you aiming for? I'm *guessing* that grain filling using an oil wouldn't work too well if you were then going to stain the guitar for example.

Thank you for that tip I have some Rustins worktop oil which I think is similar to danish oil so I will try that on a scrap piece of similar wood. I assume it going to take a long time to cure. Do you...

Looking awesome ... @Michael OConnor

@darrenking No worries Darren; thanks for the explanation. I lived in Lanchester till I went to Poly (remember Polytechnics?) so I don't remember the Consett Mustang sorry - I do remember the day JF...

Posted by: @michael-oconnor Mmm - this is getting a bit stalky mind Darren! Sorry Michael, I didn't mean to spook you! My wife is from Consett but you've got 10 years on her. Born the day Kennedy go...

@boo Never actually built a full guitar Boo - just dabbled so far. My son recently rescued my first electric guitar for me - a Futurama 3 which cost me 25 guineas in 1967. (It's lost the middle picku...

@michael-oconnor It’s all looking good Michael. Do you work on electric guitars too or is acoustics your thing?

Posted by: @darrenking I have an 8’ x 4’ CNC router 😋 Good to see you're still here @darrenking. 🙂

@seanwhcraig Hi Sean, I have an 8’ x 4’ CNC router with a 360 m3 per hour vacuum pump hooked up to the hold down table. However, when machining such relatively small components as guitar necks or head...

@darrenking thanks for the response. I have a Shop Sabre CNC machine and have been experimenting with different hold-down methods. Some work and some are so so. I am exploring using HDPE fixtures w...
