I had forgotten about this project and remembered it at the weekend. Mixing graphite powder sourced from Amazon with a lacquer works well but it does need to be mixed and applied thickly with a few co...

Make a pair of somethings so that once the dimensions of one part have been set, it's easy to use that to create the dimensions of the second part The difficulty is in machining the repair block by h...

Is the glue used for laminating compatible with normal wood glue I would always recommend that a repair patch of the type we are discussing be bonded with an structural adhesive such as epoxy rather ...

As it may seem obvious, I make semi and hollow bodies. I only made 2 solidbody guitars ever. The extra steps and difficulties of doing so is worth the efforts. The observations I noticed that there ...

My 335 Ooooo, I didn't know you had one of these! Can James B and I cut it up to see what's inside please? 🤣 🤣

@tv101 acoustically not all 335's sound the same. My 335 doesn't have f holes so sounds slightly different from those that do however; it's still playable acoustically sitting on the sofa. I think it'...

So can the hundreds of us, currently refining our semi-hollowbody designs in anticipation of you-know-what, expect this excellent design to be adaptable to a 335 style neck tenon joint? Attachment ...

What a great idea @darrenking

Same answer applies, it's great. @darrenking Damn! Now I'm going to have to buy one. 😐

Sorry @jonhodgson, I got confused. Same answer applies, it's great.

what's your opinion of that little Makita router? Hi @russ It is, without doubt, one of the most useful little bits of kit in my workshop. Surprisingly powerful, it comes with about three or four dif...

I've never seen a router powered by a battery before @darrenking. Does it make it easier to manoeuvre. I've never owned any Makita tools. How do you find them? 🎸🎶🙏🙂
