Excellent work, congrats!!

Hey Tony, Certainly sounds like you're winning! I would not have expected a decal to adhere to a hard wax oil, nor nitro to sit on top too! Might have to experiment myself.... Glad your wife is all g...

Hi @teesee, I'm not an expert on spraying or the pluses and minuses if different types of lacquer. Wish I was! On my last builds I used a brush on melamine lacquer I had decent results with and it wa...

Hi Tony, The short answer is to test your finishes on a piece of scrap first. I've used Osmo on a couple of my builds, but not in combination with a lacquer. I'm not an expert, but my understanding i...

Tidy work! And that top is very nice.

Looking good!

@brie Very handy, thanks Brian!

@brie Very handy, thanks Brian!

@nsj you utter hero, this is music (no pun intended) to my ears! For some reason I thought both walnut and cherry would be heavier. Knowing the kind of weight bracket they're in I'll definitely give ...

Nice one, Cheers @nsj How do walnut and cherry work out weight wise in comparison to say khaya mahogany or limba? I get that it can depend on the blank, but interested in your thoughts. I've kinda a...

Ah @somethingnicer, that sucks, I feel for you, man. Still, I bet you never do it again!

Hey folks, I've made a few electrics with the usual mahogany, limba, rosewood & ebony materials, but I'll now thinking about what woods are available in the UK or Europe that are suitable for bui...

Hi @markbailey Thanks for the reply. I hope my comment didn't offend, it certainly wasn't my intention, and really sorry to hear you're going through tough times. I think everyone would be thrilled w...

Hi @benjaminschwillens82gmail-com This might be a course you could do at the workshop, but sadly there hasn't been much development with the online courses for some time. The online finishing course ...

🤣 @brie I think you're right! I was looking online for the diagram I'd seen before and thought this was it without checking. Glad I only made an ass out of me with that assumption! This is why...

@brie 🤣 🤣 Bloody auto correct😅

Hey @somethingnicer, I think @brie had hit it on the head. The figuring in wood is the grain going in different directions and potentially density. As you've found out this can make carving out routin...

@nsj lovely. I don't think there was, but just in case there was any misunderstanding, my comment was based on my mixed results with flattening with a router sled not any suggestion you were doing it ...

Lovely work @nsj! I wouldn't have thought the tiger router would have left the body surface flat enough for gluing on a top, but good to know!

@brie couldn't agree more. Well just have to struggle through it!
