Well John, I'm no expert but I would guess that you'll be able to turn all of that stuff into guitars. Thanks @russ I try my best. I’ll definitely have to continue down this road for a while, it will...

@boo Hi Boo, I'm very happy with my pine body with mahogany cap, so why not? Attachment : 20201113_170001.jpg

@boo Well John, I'm no expert but I would guess that you'll be able to turn all of that stuff into guitars. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

I have a big fat piece of Sapele that has been in my garage for years, easily big enough for a large body blank. After that, I have a few big pieces of pine which I have used before. It’s not the best...

I have run out of disposable income/savings for guitar building (damn covid pandemic) so am having to use whatever I have or get my hands on. I have this piece of mahogany (I think) that used to be a...

@boo well said that man too. 😆

@tv101 Well said that man. 👍

I've seen pretty much all options recommended by one person or another, and I've tried most of them too. My conclusions are that you can get a great finish from just about any of them, but the exact t...

Looking forward to hearing from the top brains on the forum. @steveadams Not sure I’m a top brain but I’ll try and help you. 🤣 I use Tru Oil, I absolutely love it for an oil finish. Attac...

@rockpile99 Thanks for that, good to hear your thoughts on the Crimson stuff and tips... cheers Steve

Hi Steve I've used both Crimson's penetrating and high build oils; The penetrating oil works great on necks - couple of coats applied with 2000 grit paper (leaving plenty of drying time) then rub down...

Hi Darren Thanks for such a quick and great detailed reply...I will take your advice on products and method.. Thanks again Steve

I would recommend Osmo or Fiddes hardwax oil. It goes on beautifully without getting sticky (like Danish Oil can) and gives a lovely satin finish. Rub it in hard with a cloth to generate a little heat...

Hi Guys I'm getting to the point of finishing the guitar. It's a mahogonay build from Mark's kit and wanted to pick your brains about finishing oil. I see Crimson sell a couple of different types, any...

That is amazing how he can be so precise with one hand. The way he used that spokeshave is brilliant. I think I'll manage to get by now without a bandsaw.

Building a guitar with one arm in a cast, this video is ace. I like this guy’s foot controlled hammer, very inventive.

An update on my waterslide transfers. I had applied over Danish Oil then sprayed a clearcoat of Plastikote gloss lacquer. I could see the different finish through the border of the transfer, so it a...

Iv'e just had another learning opportunity. I sprayed a clear lacquer onto my headstock / truss rod cover and some areas of the decals fizzed up Iv'e been to Toolstation and got a can of Plastikote ...

Iv'e just had another learning opportunity. I sprayed a clear lacquer onto my headstock / truss rod cover and some areas of the decals fizzed up. I had tried a test piece and it seemed okay, but afte...

@tv101 the headstock is as big as it needs to be, and no bigger. I might have to add a little bump on the end to have room for my logo, I hadn't really thought that one through.
