Going by the other occasional sounds I could hear, it didn't seem you turned the volume down notably. Is it as quiet as it seems?

Seriously, interested in trying this on an oiled finish. I think this would need a soft, dry buffing mop and you can’t mix compounds on the same wheel so it would need a mop dedicated to oil finish ...

@mattbeels Thanks it sucks they think it’s septic arthritis. Can destroy the joint.

and yes.....a 335 We need to see more pics of that build @clinton. Lots more pics! 😉

I find that I'm spending less and less time playing guitar, so what is this mysterious force that makes me want to build guitars that I don't need. I find the same @Robin. I think it’s the “not enou...

and yes.....a 335 @clinton That is looking like stunning work as usual

@clinton that archtop looks good, I might have to try that for my next build, I particularly like the F holes. There just aren't enough hours ... build, play, record, listen ... and that's without a ...

Looks like a good test run

If there was a spindle lock somewhere on box Top work Boo! The shaft lock is a tricky one, not impossible, but very far from simple and the opposite of cheap! As soon as I start trying to customise s...

what might be good ... when you do the other stuff tomorrow, could you take some “before” pics, and show them next to the “after” pics, hopefully in lighting conditions that are consistent-ish. @tv10...

Shiny shiny! ✨✨✨✨✨✨ I ran out of sunlight today to show off this shine properly, maybe tomorrow. ☀️ Tomorrow I will buff a guitar, maybe the ch...

One thing I’ve noticed about changing the buffing mops is it’s a bit tricky to hold the steel shaft with one hand and try not to drop the mop on the floor as you are spinning it to take it off. You wi...

2nd compound test. I changed the buffing mop over to the softer one and changed the compound for the finer one. It’s come up very shiny indeed. Attachment : D946D67A-1457-47F7-8341-37B3B44333EB.j...

1st compound test.

I painted a metal water bottle in metal flake and candy paints a few weeks ago and had flattened the paint by sanding through the grades to P3000 grade, it just needed buffing up to a high sheen. So I...
