The sanding sealer would help to prevent blotchy spots in the staining. It might be a good idea on the endgrain of a guitarbody and if applied correctly, gives you a more even result. But If you over...

I would definitely try to rescue the fretboard first and indeed fill it with glue and dust. Perhaps it is not a bad idea to figure out the correct placement for the frets and double check them. There...

@chrishamilton welcome to this great community!

After some cleaning up on the heel and end blocks and adding an inwards curve ( approx 3 mm max depth ) towards the waist from the upper and lower bouts, to clear some space for the players hand and s...

The problem is not the images that disappear when you click on them , but the series like ‘click all traffic light tiles’ or similar ones for any type of object . They never work

Some pictures of the creation process of the bridge. We start off by shaping the piece of pearwood to the profile of this little part of the plan. Notice the small indent on the left side. We will nee...

This captcha thing is useless . Most of the times I have to try a few times before I can actually get one that succeeds, but now this morning , no matter what I try, they keep coming back. It is reall...

Today I finished the little bridge, lots of knife carving 😊 The little flowers are 7x7mm , just to give an idea how small and finicky this bridge is I m sorry but the photos are not in chrono...

Last week, I worked on the rosette some more. I glued parchment on the back, using fish glue and cut out the details with a punch and a scalpel knife. Attachment : 493F91F6-D082-4708-BEEE-219B7F75...

Last week I finished the carving of the rosette, well the major part of it. Next up is gluing parchment and cutting the refined details for the rosette in the parchment. But that is for in a few weeks...

Yes I am, wonderful stuff and 99% the reason why this system works so good, I think.

I have the Mirka roundy kit. It is still manual sanding, but you can hook it up to a vacuum cleaner and make your sanding work virtually dust free. I am amazed how good it actually works and , while i...

It should not chip if the blade is sharp enough, but yes, it is always possible and a good solution to mitigate the possibility of tear out 👍 So ideal order: plane to thickness, radius with ...
